Master theses

For open topics, see the group's list and look for my name.

Necessary courses
I don't have a strict requirement for courses - it all depends on the thesis topic. Many of my topics involve changing something in the OS kernel, for example Linux. This means that, for such topics, you have to be good with C and operating system programming, and here INF3151 helps - but if you didn't take this course yet convince me of being a kernel hacker, that's okay too :-)
In general, I think that INF5071 is a good fit for many of the things I focus on, and maybe also INF5050, but that one is surely not a requirement for most of my topics.
