We will publish here offers for student projects related to our research. If you are interested, contact the proposing person directly.

These projects are typically final master theses, degree projects ("projectes de final de carrera", PFC), or academically supervised work ("treballs acadèmics dirigits", crèdits de lliure elecció).

If you are a student and are considering working with us, you are welcome to attend our seminar - ask us to include you in the seminar announcement list.
