For students
I am happy to supervise students during their semester-long coursework, practical work, bachelor's or master's thesis. The topics are preferably from the field of environmental technology or project management. Due to many years of experience, I can also support interdisciplinary topics.
For companies
Is your company looking for students of environmental technology or project management to expand your team or to work on current challenges? If you are interested in working with one of our students as part of an internship and/or bachelor's or master's thesis, I would be happy to support you, e.g. in terms of supervision and structuring the content.
