Here will post any News from Research (e.g., accepted papers, projects, collaborations) & Teaching (MSc/BSc topics, student projects, vacancies)
Thesis Topics Available
Occasionally, I have both, MSc and BSc thesis topics available. You can ping me to find out more about the topics or to suggest a topic that is in my area of research.
However, make sure that:
- you clearly state your motivation for doing the thesis under my supervision (e.g., it is not enough that you just visited a lecture I gave)
- you know my resdarch areas and in which of them you want to do your thesis (and why)
- you indicate which skills you have that enable you to successfully work on a a topic from this area
Wiht this informaiton I can very fast decide whether there is a vacant otpic or not and then discuss the details with you.

Sandro Schulze is a senior researcher at Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg, where he is leading the DEEP SEA (Data Excavation and Exploration for Software Evolution and Analysis) project. He received both, his MSc./diploma degree (2007) and his Ph.D. degree in computer science (2013) from Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg. In recent years, he also joined TU Braunschweig as postdoctoral researcher and TU Hamburg as temporary professor.
His research interests are evolution and quality assurance of highly-configurable/variant-rich software systems, reverse engineering variability, software quality of complex systems as well as applied machine learning for software analytics. He has published over 50 articles and been involved in research projects on the topics above. Moreover, he frequently serves in program and organizing committees of renowned software engineering conferences (e.g., ESEC/FSE, ICSME, SANER, SPLC).
