CompSci & IT Dissertations/Theses

While the ideas we’ve presented above are a decent starting point for finding a CompSci-related research topic, they are fairly generic and non-specific. So, it helps to look at actual dissertations and theses to see how this all comes together.

Below, we’ve included a selection of research projects from various CompSci-related degree programs to help refine your thinking. These are actual dissertations and theses, written as part of Master’s and PhD-level programs, so they can provide some useful insight as to what a research topic looks like in practice.

• An array-based optimization framework for query processing and data analytics (Chen, 2021)
• Dynamic Object Partitioning and replication for cooperative cache (Asad, 2021)
• Embedding constructural documentation in unit tests (Nassif, 2019)
• PLASA | Programming Language for Synchronous Agents (Kilaru, 2019)
• Healthcare Data Authentication using Deep Neural Network (Sekar, 2020)
• Virtual Reality System for Planetary Surface Visualization and Analysis (Quach, 2019)
• Artificial neural networks to predict share prices on the Johannesburg stock exchange (Pyon, 2021)
• Predicting household poverty with machine learning methods: the case of Malawi (Chinyama, 2022)
• Investigating user experience and bias mitigation of the multi-modal retrieval of historical data (Singh, 2021)
• Detection of HTTPS malware traffic without decryption (Nyathi, 2022)
• Redefining privacy: case study of smart health applications (Al-Zyoud, 2019)
• A state-based approach to context modeling and computing (Yue, 2019)
• A Novel Cooperative Intrusion Detection System for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (Solomon, 2019)
• HRSB-Tree for Spatio-Temporal Aggregates over Moving Regions (Paduri, 2019)

Looking at these titles, you can probably pick up that the research topics here are quite specific and narrowly-focused , compared to the generic ones presented earlier. This is an important thing to keep in mind as you develop your own research topic. That is to say, to create a top-notch research topic, you must be precise and target a specific context with specific variables of interest . In other words, you need to identify a clear, well-justified research gap.

Computational Science and Engineering

 REMEMBER: each project for a Term, BSc-, or MSc-Thesis must be approved via this form .

A thesis project is usually supervised and graded by a lecturer in charge of teaching a Core Course or a course in a Field of Specialization, but any other lecturer of ETH Zurich, who is entitled to supervise master thesis in her or his own department is also eligible.  

The topic of a thesis project must be approved by the Director of Studies CSE. Approval can be requested via the form above and needs a brief description of the project. That description must convey that the following requirements are satisfied:

All projects in CSE must involve the application of core CSE techniques and must have a strong software implementation component. Algorithm development and implementation, numerical or discrete modeling, or simulations must constitute the main contribution of the student to the project.

If a thesis project is conducted at an institution or company outside ETH Zurich, an authorized lecturer of ETH Zurich must take responsibility as in-​house supervisor.  

Please also note the gen­eral pro­ced­ures for do­ing thesis pro­jects:

protected page Procedure for Semester/BSc/MSc-theses lock

All theses/projects end with a written report (including the declaration of originality) and with a presentation.

The Bachelor Thesis in CSE ends the BSc program and can be written not earlier than 5th semester, better in 6. semester of study. It should require about 420 hours and 14 ECTS are obtained. Both full time and part time work are allowed.

A Term Thesis in CSE should be computational and application oriented work in a team in order to deepen the knowledge in an application area. It should require about 160-240 hours and 8 ECTS are obtained for an accepted paper. The supervisor defines the tasks to be accomplished and establishes the dates of start and end of the work. A term theis is graded pass/fail. The Master Thesis takes 6 months, which is a strict deadline for its completion, and is supposed to be full-​time work. It concludes the CSE Master studies and should train students for independent work on a particular topic. 30 ECTS credits are awarded for an accepted thesis.

Course requirements

Students who entered the Honors Program in Fall 2018 or later must earn 15 Honors credits in or related to their major, Computer Science (CS), Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), or Computer Engineering (CompE).

Currently, there are only a few Honors sections in CSE courses. Students earn Honors credits in following ways.

• Requesting Honors conversion in a regular CSE course
• Enrolling in the graduate section of a cross-listed course, if the option is available
• Taking a graduate course that is approved by Honors advisor

The course requirements from the University Honors Program include:

At least 15 Honors credits in or related to the major as approved by the departmental Honors advisor as follows: Twelve (12) Honors credits in the major or related: 2000-level or above At least 3 credits toward supervised  Honors thesis/project ; Completion of specific departmental Honors requirements, if applicable Three (3) additional Honors credits in the major or related earned at any level.

The clarification and CSE specific requirements on the 15 Honors credits in or related to the major are as follows.

(a) Twelve (12) Honors credits in the major or related

The 12 credits include 3 credits form working on Honors thesis and 9 credits from regular CSE courses, 2000-level and above.

Three (3) Credits toward Honors thesis

The three credits toward Honors thesis are from either CSE 4099: Independent Study in Computer Science and Engineering, or CSE 4997: Senior Thesis in Computer Science and Engineering. Students earn Honors credits by requesting Honors conversion. Typically, CSE 4099 is taken in the first semester of the senior year and CSE 4997 is in the second semester of the senior year.

Students should plan for their Honors thesis early. As recommended by the Honors program, students should find Honors thesis supervisor and discuss with them Honors thesis topics no later than the second semester of the junior year, the earlier the better.

CSE students should have a CSE faculty member as their Honors thesis supervisor. This page explains Honors thesis supervisor.

Please carefully study the suggested thesis timeline on the Honors Program’s website .

Nine (9) credits on regular CSE courses, 2000-level and above

To make the total of 12 Honors credits in this category, students earn nine (9) Honors credits in regular CSE courses at 2000-level or above, which do not include senior design (CSE 4939W and CSE 4940), independent study (CSE 4099), and senior thesis (CSE 4997).

(b) Three (3) additional Honors credits in the major or related earned at any level.

Students can earn the three credits in the following courses:

• A regular CSE course at 1000-level or above,
• A MATH/STAT course required by the major,
• CSE 4099: Independent Study in Computer Science and Engineering, if it is related to Honors thesis.

Engagement in the major field

The engagement in the major field includes  intern (performing major related work), participating in research, attending seminars, and participating in major related student clubs (with significant activities). Students should report the major engagement activities once a semester to their Honors advisor. In addition to email, students should plan to meet with their Honors advisors at least once a semester.

Activities by Academic Levels

Students are encouraged to explore their interests and discuss academic plan with their Honors advisor.

We recommend students earn at least 3 Honors credits in a CSE course by the end of their sophomore year. We also encourage students to start to look for their Honors thesis supervisor.

Juniors file the Honors Preliminary Plan of Study in the first semester of their junior year.  Here are instructions for listing courses on the form.

• 3 Honors credits in either CSE 4099 or CSE 4997 as Thesis / Project course.
• At least 9 Honors credits from courses at 2000-level or above. See the course requirements section for details. Students can list 12 Honors credits in this section and skip the next section on the form.
• If necessary, list a CSE 1000 level course in the “Additional Honors credits at any level” section.

Students should find an Honors thesis supervisor by the end of the second semester. See the requirements on Honors thesis .

Students submit the Honors Final Plan of Study in the first semester of their senior year. Please discuss with Honors advisors about the progress in Honors thesis and adjust the Honors Plan of Study if necessary.

Honors Scholar in Multiple Majors

In general, students earn the Honors Scholar designation in each major separately. See the requirements on Honors Program’s website.

https://honors.uconn.edu/more-than-one-major/

Quoted from the page:

If you will graduate with multiple majors and want to earn the Honors Scholar designation in more than one of them, you must complete separate Preliminary Plan of Study and Final Plan of Study forms for each. Generally, students with multiple Honors majors complete a separate thesis/project for each major. You may be allowed to have a single thesis/project serve as your Honors thesis for multiple majors. Plan ahead! Your Honors advisor in each Honors major must approve this in advance. You may complete just one Honors thesis course, which would be listed on only one of your Honors Plans of Study. When you complete your thesis, your Honors advisor in each Honors major must approve it (in addition to your thesis supervisor).

Students must discuss with Honors advisor about their plan to complete Honors thesis. Also keep the following requirements in mind.

• The proposed Honors thesis must have significant CSE components.
• Students must find a CSE faculty member as their Honors thesis supervisor or co-supervisor, even if they have a supervisor in other departments.
• Students still need to earn 15 CSE Honors credits.

Read my mind! Student's innovation uses brainwaves for VR interaction

Rajshekar Guda Subhash, a computer science master's thesis student, is using brain signals to interact with augmented and virtual reality, potentially eliminating the need for physical actions. His work has been accepted to the flagship conference in computer human interaction, CHI 2024. 

Let's learn from him how this all works, his research experience and his advice to those considering the master's thesis option in computer science.   

What is your research? 

When eye tracking alone is used to select buttons in augmented or virtual reality, it becomes challenging for a computer to know whether we want to select something or are just passively observing it. 

Our research looked at whether eye gaze can be paired with a mental switch driven by brain signals. 

When the brain anticipates a future stimulus, it quiets down current neural activity to process the incoming change. This anticipatory process is called Stimulus Preceding Negativity (SPN).  

Let's consider a user navigating a music interface. As the user gazes at the play button, they anticipate a change that will happen when the button is pressed. Their brain then reduces neural activity in preparation, resulting in an SPN wave.

The system, sensing the SPN’s presence, can automatically activate the play button. The user no longer has to make a deliberate action; their SPN brainwaves become the primary mode of interaction.

This research is still in its early stages, we have only just proven that the SPN has the potential to be used as an indicator of user intent. The next step is to build a real-time prototype that the user can use to seamlessly select things. 

How could it impact the world? 

The real-world application is in developing more intuitive interaction methods for AR/VR. It’s essentially a hands-free mouse for the spatial computing realm.

Some potential uses include:

Accessibility: it would allow people with motor impairments to navigate immersive environments effortlessly. 

Seamless, intuitive, and quicker control in VR games and applications, thereby also improving immersion. 

Efficient hands-free interactions in medical applications where both hands may be occupied. 

Novel user interfaces that can adapt to the user's intentions and other mental states.

What was your research experience like? 

It was a unique and challenging experience that required a lot of hard work, but it was equally rewarding as I learned a lot from it. 

I was a bit worried about whether we would be able to detect the SPN or not because it was not a highly replicated finding, but if we did, it would be a game-changer for Brain-Computer Interfaces, and the results were better than we expected. 

Being a master's student presented its own set of challenges. The study was not funded by any grants, so I had to invest a lot of my savings and time into this project. I handled all elements of the studies and data collection myself. 

We collected enough data and had just the right amount of time to analyze it and write up a paper for the 2024 Computer Human Interaction (CHI) conference. 

What was your experience working with your advisors like?

I was co-advised by Leanne Hirshfield (Computer Science & Institute of Cognitive Science, CU Boulder) and Anthony Ries (Research Scientist, DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory & U.S. Air Force Academy). This research would not have been possible if it weren't for their guidance. 

Early in the project, Leanne suggested reaching out to industry folks who might be interested in serving on my thesis committee. That's how I came across Michael Proulx from Meta Reality Labs, who also saw the research's potential and actively participated in it and provided useful direction. 

I enjoyed Anthony's hands-on approach and I could tell that he found the work very exciting. Sometimes, I would screenshot the graphs and text them to him at 6 am, and he would reply instantly with his thoughts, and we would bounce ideas back and forth.

What would you recommend to someone potentially considering a master's thesis?

It's intimidating at first because you have to work on a specific problem on the frontier of science and produce something novel in a limited timeframe. 

If not, you end up having to delay your graduation and nobody wants that. But, if it works out, it's a transformative experience.

I would suggest working with your advisor on coming up with a research question that you can tackle in a limited time. Or if you have an idea, pitch it to your advisor and ask them what they think about it. It could even be a slight spin-off of what they are currently working on. 

Time management is another key factor. Break down your project into manageable milestones and set realistic deadlines for each phase. I used the conference submission deadline for CHI. Having an external immovable deadline creates a sense of urgency, helps maintain focus and pushes you to stay on track.

An opportunity to contribute novel findings to a field you are passionate about and develop valuable research skills along the way is a truly rewarding experience, particularly when no one expects this of you because you are a master's student. Don't listen to naysayers. The greater the risks, the greater the reward. Go all in

When the user merely observes target 7, no Stimulus-Preceding Negativity (SPN) is evident from the occipital region’s electroencephalogram activity. When intending to select target 12 and expecting a selection feedback, an SPN is evoked, serving as an implicit selection trigger.

🤔 What is a CSE Citation Generator?

A CSE citation generator is an online tool that creates citations in the Council of Science Editors (CSE) citation style. It does this automatically by taking in an identifier for a document, such as a website URL, book ISBN, or journal DOI, and then formatting the citation correctly using the remaining details.

🤓 What is the CSE citation style?

The CSE citation style is a citation style created by the Council of Science Editors, a non-profit organization. They publish the CSE style guidelines in the CSE Scientific Style and Format Manual , now on the 8th edition.

There are three ways to correctly cite sources in the CSE style. They should not be mixed together (format all citations the same way).

• Name-Year (N-Y): Also known as author-date, the author name and publication year are surrounded with parenthesis and placed next to the cited text as an in-text citation. The reference list at the end of the article is ordered alphabetically by the author's last name.
• Citation-Name (C-N): Superscripted numbers (example: ¹) are placed next to cited text as an in-text citation. The reference list is still sorted alphabetically by the author's last name, but the corresponding in-text citation number is prepended to each reference to connect both of them together.
• Citation-Sequence (C-S): Similar to Citation-Name, superscripted numbers are used next to cited text and are also prepended to the author's name in the reference list, but the reference list is sorted by the citation number in ascending order instead of the author's last name.

👩‍🎓 Who uses a CSE Citation Generator?

The CSE style is used broadly across the sciences--especially biology, where it originated. If you are studying the sciences, or you are writing to be published in an CSE publication (such as Science Editor ), then you will likely need to cite your sources using the CSE style.

🙌 Why should I use a CSE Citation Generator?

Every academic field, not just the sciences, will recommend using a tool to record references to others' work in your writing. A citation generator like MyBib can record this data, and can also automatically create an accurate bibliography from it, with the necessary in-text citations too.

⚙️ How do I use MyBib's CSE Citation Generator?

MyBib's CSE citation generator was designed to be accurate and easy to use (also it's FREE!). Follow these steps:

• Search for the article, website, or document you want to cite using the search box at the top of the page.
• Look through the list of results found and choose the one that you referenced in your work.
• Make sure the details are all correct, and correct any that aren't. Then click Generate!

The generator will produce a formatted CSE citation that can be copied and pasted directly into your document, or saved to MyBib as part of your overall reference list (which can be downloaded fully later!).

Inaugural dse ms thesis successfully defended by steve garcia.

On April 10 2024, Steve Garcia successfully defended his DSE thesis titled ‘ Rurality and Robustness: Rural Communities and Housing Insecurity Risk ‘. He was advised by Dr. Matt Dube. 

Congratulations, Steve!

Thesis abstract:

This thesis explores rural housing insecurity through Swope and Hernandez’s (2019) 4 Cs of housing insecurity framework. Little attention has been paid to rural ares in the conversation on housing insecurity and houselessness. To facilitate further discussion on this understudied issue, this exploratory study used unsupervised machine learning to group census tracts into risk levels across 7 axes of data from the American Community Survey. These were based on housing insecurity factors found in the literature. Multinomial logistic regression was used to determine the variation between U.S. states based on how well state risk levels could be predicted with the national dataset. Furthermore, spatial autocorrelation was used to gauge the extent of spatial clustering within the identified risk levels and housing insecurity factors. The results indicate that many rural census tracts have a medium risk of housing insecurity, and the risk levels are hard to predict. The spatial autocorrelation results show that the housing insecurity variables are not as highly spatially clustered as expected.
