Diploma thesis oportunities

The Superconductivity Theory Group offers on a regular basis a rich spectrum of oportunities for students who wish to pursue a BS or MS degree in theoretical solid state physics. Students will work, under the direct supervision of Prof. T. Mishonov, on challenging problems at the front end of high-temperature superconductivity.

Apart of a comprehensive introduction to the field diploma students will also obtain trainning in preparing high-quality scientific publications. Thus some knowledge of English and basic computer skills, e.g., using the LaTeX text processor, will be helpful, but are not requiered.

Those interested should contact Prof. T. Mishonov.
