MSc. thesis topics for LUT software engineering students

Thanks for your interest! I supervise MSc. theses at LUT University for our software engineering (and other specializations such as software business, digital transformations or DSSD). I have listed below some current topics that match my current research directions. If you find one of these topics to be of interest and are seeking a 1st supervisor, do send me an email.

• Developer social networks / open source project networks – how programmers use GitHub
• Why do developers participate in open source or civic tech? (literature review work)
• Literature review of software design processes in open source software
• Software repository data mining and detecting issues (“social smells”) from civic tech repositories (or training an machine learning model to detect these issues)
• Modelling civic tech / OSS development or repository networks (social network analysis)
• Series of topics on gameful or playful interaction design

List updated in March 2024.

Doctoral dissertation opportunities are listed publicly at the LUT “work for us” page. BSc. thesis topics can be found at the BSc. seminars Moodle page.
