Proposed Thesis

This is the list of the available diploma theses topics by Dr. Dasygenis Minas. The items of the list are gradually updated as students apply for them and I accept to supervise, or as I add new topics.

Students wishing to apply for one of these topics, should first read the document: "Guide on Diploma Thesis under the supervision of Dr. Dasygenis (in Greek)" and then visit the online appointment system in order to schedule a meeting in my office hours for public. Students that are supervised by Dr. Dasygenis, are obliged to read the Guide on Diploma Thesis by Dr. Dasygenis (in Greek)".

The application form for the diploma Thesis under the supervision of Dr. Dasygenis is ENTYPO_ANATHESIS_DE . Students should edit this document in a word processor of their choice and email it to him.

The supervision of the thesis is assisted by the Informational System itasks developed at our laboratory.

Students wishing to propose a topic, should download, edit and e-mail back to me, the 1-page thesis proposal form, giving attention to the rules of proper writing, referenced above. Alternative, they can download, edit and e-mail back to me a presentation of their idea, using the thesis proposal presentation (odp file for Libre Office), or they can download, edit and e-mail back to me their laboratory exercise, using the laboratory exercise template (odt file for Libre Office).
