Information for students and graduates:
If you would like to request me as a supervisor/reviewer for your bachelor's, master's, or doctoral thesis, I am, in principle, happy to guide you through the process. Before you contact me, please make sure that
a) your planned project roughly overlaps with my research and
b) you outline in a short synopsis (approx. 0.5 A4 pages) what topic your work will address.
If you need a letter of recommendation, I will be happy to write it for you. Please understand that you should have attended and actively participated in at least one of my courses for this, so that I have an adequate basis for my evaluation. Please get back to me 4-6 weeks before the application deadline and include your CV, letter of motivation, and some information about the institution to which you are applying.
Thank you.
