A thesis in the SDE group typical investigates new tools, languages, and methods for software development with the goal of assisting software developers in their work. An introduction to some of the SDE topics are given in our courses.

SDE theses often include development and evaluation of techniques and prototypes, sometimes with empirical methods such as interviews, surveys, and literature reviews. For example, an SDE thesis can include AI/ML techniques but then with focus on application of these techniques in the software development context.

Get in touch with us!

If you are interested, please contact us to discuss further, either based on an existing thesis proposal (e.g. from industry) or on your own ideas and interests. Either contact, a person listed below based on your specific interests, or Emma Söderberg (emma.soderberg@cs.lth.se) who is the SDE coordinator for thesis work.
