Partizipative Szenarienplanung als Strategie zur Anpassung an den Klimawandel
(2021)Szenarien sind ein beliebtes Mittel zur Exploration möglicher Zukünfte und der Veranschaulichung der Auswirkungen von heutigem Handeln über einen langfristigen Zeithorizont. Durch Partizipation von Expert/innen und Stakeholder/innen in der Szenarienkonstruktion kann sowohl die Qualität von sozio-ökonomischen Szenarien verbessert, als auch soziales Lernen gefördert werden. Partizipative Szenarienplanung (PSP) erlebt deshalb einen Aufschwung ...Bachelor Thesis -

Noise Estimation in HPC Cloud Networks
(2021)As computing is moved more and more to the cloud due to scalability, affordability and availability, so are high performance computing (HPC) clusters. It is expensive to build a real-world cluster that needs the scale and performance to run the highest predicted load but is not used to its full extent most of the time. Additionally, by relying on cloud services, the highly specialised workforce needed to maintain the cluster is no longer ...Bachelor Thesis -

Investigating fluctuations in ice nucleating particle concentrations over orographic terrain
(2019)Ice particles influence the radiation and lifetime of cirrus and mixed-phase clouds and initiate most of global precipitation. Processes like heterogeneous ice nucleation responsible for the formation of first ice in clouds are still not completely understood and contribute to uncertainties in weather and climate modelling. RACLETS (Role of Aerosols and Clouds Enhanced by Topography on Snow) was a field campaign planned in order to ...Bachelor Thesis -
The impact of subsidies on the operating profit in the Swiss forestry sector
(2021)The purpose of subsidies for forestry companies is to ensure the provision of forest ecosystem services. As a negative side effect, previous studies, however, have suggested that these subsidies lower the efficiency of the companies and thus decrease their operating profit. The goal of this thesis is to investigate the impact of subsidies on the operating profit of Swiss forestry companies. Based on a regression model, the correlation ...Bachelor Thesis -

Practical data-centric optimization of C/C++ applications
(2022)C is a programming language used everywhere and in a big part of scientific codes. With the increase of highly parallel computing machines the code needs to be adapted to be able to use the full power available. In my thesis I will expand a compiler frontend to be able to transform C code into a data centric representation that will intern be able to identify data dependencies automatically and hence produce highly parallel code. ...Bachelor Thesis -
Restoration and Reconstruction of 3D cryo-EM Images
(2021)Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has emerged as the preferred method for imaging macromolecular structures. Like most other high-powered imaging techniques it suffers from a trade-off between acquisition time and quality. Traditional denoising methods for cryo-EM include averaging and Fourier cropping. They are not only resource-intensive but also lose out on high-frequency details. Other denoising methods rely on constructing ...Bachelor Thesis -
Understanding GDPR compliance of tracking pixel declarations using privacy filter lists
(2022)Tracking and data collection on the World Wide Web are ever-present. Privacy laws, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union, have come into effect to address user tracking. To comply with GDPR, websites use consent banners informing users about tracking and giving acceptance choices; these are server-side tracking-prevention mechanisms. Independently, ad- and trackingblockers provide client-side protection. ...Bachelor Thesis
