Masters Thesis in Soil Science
Are you interested in soil properties and how soil supports biodiversity? Then this thesis is for you! We look for a motivated student to join our projects and be part of a soil campaign across different sites in Germany. As part of the project you will be able to use existing data and produce new one to link questions on how land use change affects soils and the biodiversity that inhabits them. The project can be tailored for bachelor, master thesis and mandatory internships.

Master Thesis - Surgical Scene Understanding using VLM
Modern computer-assisted surgery relies increasingly on robust visual understanding of the operating room. While most existing approaches for surgical scene understanding and phase recognition are based on narrow-field-of-view endoscopic or monocular camera data, real-world operating rooms often provide significantly richer visual contexts.
This thesis aims to investigate surgical scene understanding using multiple images for surgical phase recognition, and higher-level scene representations such as surgical scene graphs. The goal is to analyze how VLM/multi-view VLMs can use the visual context can improve robustness, generalization, and interpretability.
The project will commence with a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art in surgical activity recognition, surgical phase classification, and scene graph–based modeling. Based on this review, existing methods will be categorized and experimentally evaluated, with adaptations made where necessary to support panoramic or wide-field-of-view imagery. Particular emphasis will be placed on testing and validating approaches on recordings beyond classic benchmark datasets, including less constrained or previously unseen surgical recordings.
The student is encouraged to bring in their own ideas and creativity. The outlined approach serves as a guiding framework rather than a strict implementation plan.
Your own creativity is welcome to solve the problem; the upper proposal merely presents an idea.

Reviewing the state-of-the-art in surgical activity / phase classification techniques and surgical scene graph techniques
