You like theoretical physics and you want to get into touch with elementary particle physics or cosmology in your bachelor thesis? If you want to write your bachelor thesis at the TTK during the summer term, you will get all necessary information during the Tag der Physik in January, this year on Friday January 29, 2021. Prof. Krämer and Prof. Lesgourgues will introduce the research topics at TTK via zoom at 9.30am. More details about possible bachelor thesis projects are presented via zoom at 2pm. (The zoom links are available via the Moodle room of the Tag der Physik.) Also the details on how to apply for a bachelor thesis at the institute are given. However, you can also contact us via email.
