Preparing a Master's Thesis

Starting the thesis work:.

  • Familiarize yourself with SCI's instructions and thesis process ; these instructions and process descriptions are valid with the exception that you do not have to give a presentation of your thesis
  • Agree upon the thesis topic with your supervisor .
  • Apply for the approval of the topic 

Preparing your thesis:

  • Primary guidance comes from your advisor.
  • Discuss the thesis structure with your supervisor already in the early phase of the process.
  • Remember that all theses are public documents.
  • The Systems Analysis Laboratory maintains an archive of all master's theses online. If you add the text below in Finnish or in English to the cover page of your thesis, your thesis can be made openly available in this archive: "Työn saa tallentaa ja julkistaa Aalto-yliopiston avoimilla verkkosivuilla. Muilta osin kaikki oikeudet pidätetään. " "The document can be stored and made available to the public on the open internet pages of Aalto University. All other rights are reserved. " If the text has not been added, the thesis will be password-protected but still available in the laboratory.

Finalizing the thesis:

  • You will need to give a presentation of on your thesis (about 15 minutes). Unless you have agreed otherwise with your supervisor, you can give this presentation in the weekly seminar of the Systems Analysis Laboratory, held on Mondays at 15.15 in RIIHI (Y225a, Otakaari 1). Once your supervisor has agreed that you are ready to present your thesis in this seminar, please contact Leevi Olander to reserve a time. After giving the presentation, please fill in the thesis presentation form on your part and ask your supervisor to sign and submit it to the student services of the MSc programme . 
  • Deliver the thesis to the supervisor for feedback and guidance. Note that the supervisor may need up to a month to read your thesis. You may also need time to edit and correct your thesis. 
  • Once the thesis has been submitted, the supervisor typically contacts the advisor before preparing the assessment statement. 

Submitting the thesis:

  • Follow the SCI-level instructions and links
  • Email a pdf copy of the thesis to Minna Westerlund .  
  • If you choose to have your thesis bound as a hard copy, it is common to give a bound copy to your advisor and supervisor.

Evaluation of the thesis:

  • The supervisor proposes a grade for your thesis in the assessment statement. See evaluation principles .
  • The Master's Programme Committee accepts all theses and decides on the grades.

Congratulations!

  • You have graduated with valuable skills in Systems and Operations Research! 
  • Keep in touch with us also in the future!

Title of the thesis: Exploring silk protein assembly mechanisms for high-performance materials Doctoral student: M.Sc. (Tech.) Teemu Välisalmi Opponent : Professor Yael Politi, Dresden University of Technology, Germany Custos : Professor Markus Linder, Aalto University School of Chemical Engineering, Department of Bioproducts and Biosystems

Materials from silk proteins

Due to the unique structure of silk proteins, they possess various beneficial properties such as high tensile strength, flexibility, and biodegradability. The most promising silk proteins are found in spiders. Although acquiring these proteins directly from nature is challenging, the application of genetic engineering allows to produce large quantities of "recombinant" silk proteins. However, the challenge remains in determining the additional processes needed to manufacture durable silk-based materials from the produced recombinant silk. Previous studies indicate that solutions lie in the complex spinning mechanism of silk-producing animals. The doctoral thesis initially focused on the spinning mechanism of silkworm silk. The protein content in the gland was mapped by measuring the variation of amino acids, correlating with the silk mass's ability to form fibers. This ability was further enhanced by a simple adjustment of acidity. Subsequently, the research addressed the production of fibers from recombinant silk and regenerated silk. The separation of recombinant silk into different phases was identified as a crucial intermediate step for achieving high tensile strength in fibers. Finally, the study moved beyond fibers to discuss a method for producing water resistant, or hydrophobic, silk films. This hydrophobicity developed as the silk protein structures orderly arranged on the surface of the film. The arrangement occurred only under specific conditions, with high relative humidity and the right salt concentration identified as critical parameters. However, the films remained brittle, and further investigation is needed to enhance their durability. Contact information :

The paper reports an experimental low-temperature study of the temperature-dependent behavior of the lattice constants, heat capacity, and thermal conductivity of the AlN ceramic. The results obtained are compared with the data available for the high-temperature region. The thermal expansion coefficient is found to be negative.

Thesis: Mediation makes positive impact on suspects in criminal cases

by University of Twente

mediator

The Ph.D. research of UT researcher Jiska Jonas-Van Dijk shows that mediation can positively impact suspects in criminal cases. She will defend her thesis at Maastricht University on Wednesday 7 February.

In more and more criminal cases, victims and defendants are using mediation. That mediation reduces the likelihood of a suspect reoffending (recidivism) was already known. It was unclear why mediation worked so well. For her Ph.D. research, Jonas-Van Dijk investigated the underlying mechanisms of this effect. With this, she not only hopes to develop mediation further but also that it will lead to the structural application of mediation in criminal cases.

During mediation, the victim and defendant have a conversation in the presence of trained mediators. Those mediators deliberately remain aloof so that the suspect and victim resolve their dispute themselves. Because the two parties really engage in conversation, participating defendants take more responsibility.

"After mediation, the suspect has more empathy for the victim and is more aware of his or her moral failings than when a suspect does not participate in mediation," Jonas-Van Dijk says.

Three main working mechanisms emerged in her research. The first mechanism is the learning effect of mediation. In the conversation, the suspect learns what the consequences of the offense are for the victim. "Suspects can, therefore, become more aware of the victims' suffering," says Jonas-Van Dijk. During mediation, the suspect can learn what they can do differently in the future. Thus, the suspect learns new problem-solving behavior.

Mediation can also be humanizing. In criminal law , defendants are more likely to experience being labeled criminals. That feeling can increase the likelihood of recidivism. "Mediation is less stigmatizing. Suspects are more likely to feel they are given a second chance. They can tell their side of the story without being dismissed as a person," says Jonas-Van Dijk.

The victim's attitude does seem to be important there. Which is also the third underlying mechanism. "For the psychological impact on the suspect, it seems important that the victim is open to any expressions of regret and apologies and listens sincerely and actively to the suspect," Jonas-van Dijk says.

Policymakers can use these findings to achieve the structural application of mediation in criminal cases. Mediators can use the three mechanisms mentioned above during their mediation . This would increase the likelihood of a positive psychological impact on defendants , potentially reducing the likelihood of recidivism.
