Master's and PhD theses in the PSF department
Diplom- und Doktorarbeiten in der PSF Abteilung
Introduction
Die Gruppe bietet Diplom- und Doktorarbeiten auf allen Gebieten der Stern-und Planetenentstehung. Hierbei können sowohl Beobachtungsprojekte durchgeführt werden, numerische Simulationen und theoretische Untersuchungen bearbeitet werden als auch an Instrumentierungsprojekten, beispielsweise zur Adaptiven Optik, Interferometrie und Projekten der IR-Weltraumastronomie mitgewirkt werden.

The department offers diploma/master and PhD theses in all fields of planet and star formation. Observational projects, numerical simulations as well as theoretical investigations can be carried out. Experimental/instrumental topics in the fields of adaptive optics, interferometry, and infra-red space astronomy are also available.
