The following contains currently open thesis topics in our areas of research. If you are interested in a topic or have a thesis idea of your own that might fit our research interests, please contact us directly.
Create the Vulkan Helper Library. At the lowest level take over the helper layer of the Vienna Vulkan Engine, consisting of pure functions only. Above that create a C++ RAII layer.

We assume the full Vulkan SDK with SDL3, VMA, Volk, and also vkbootstrap. Create a simple library that creates the basic application loop including the swapchain and the render loop. Make it versatile for scnenarios like rasterizing, ray tracing, mesh shaders, video, …

Create a C++ library für handling geometry for video games: intersection tests, collision detection, BVH, Grids, k-Dops, collision shapes, differential geometry.

Create Vulkan Script, a scripting language to synthesize renderers using the Vulkan API. Vulkan Script should read Slang shader reflection information and create working C++ code.

Create neural shaders using SlangPy: https://slangpy.shader-slang.org/en/stable/
For example: super sampling, denoising. Get your hands on an open source game, run them, get the graphics output in different resolutions. Train using SlangPy.

Create a render DAG from Slang reflection information. The render graph should be pure data, but also have a path for creating functors through factories.

Create a Slang factory in C++ . It should accept parameters, then create a big string that contains valid Slang code. Use the compilation API to compile this code, then use the reflection API to get all reflection information out.

Research the phenomenon of dispersion inside a graphics card using ray tracing, or load imbalancing when using more than one graphics card, under the condition that the framerate must be fixed. This is important e.g. for multidisplay systems that are in sync with shutter glasses for 3D…
Ride on the Street. Model of the rider. Faster and Faster until the crash. Run over or bump head. Body model including face, head, skull, bones, organs, skeleton. Show the consequences as outcome. Should run in Web. Kinematic -> Ragdoll. Bones break, heuristic for more injuries.
