Poster session

The poster session serves as an orientation for bachelor and master students in physics/astronomy who are looking for a topic or a supervisor for their bachelor or master thesis or their research project (phys799).
At the beginning of each semester, professors and research groups present their work in a poster session. Over a timespan of two hours, interested students can get to know multiple research groups and ask questions.
The Academic Events Committee1 is responsible for organizing the poster session.

Why should you go to the lecture series?

Bachelor-Students

Master-Students

Many students in their fifth semester are faced with the problem that they know only a few physics professors, not to mention their areas of research. Lecturers of past bachelor modules are usually known, though rarely in the context of their actual job at university.

This problem is often first recognized when students are looking for a supervisor for their bachelors thesis. Who would be a good fit for which topic? Do you need to ask them personally or is an email enough? Do you need to choose a topic first or will you be given possible topics?

These questions and many more can be answered during the poster session. It is a chance to meet many research groups at once. You can read the posters informing about their work or get to know them personally.

Similar problems might arise when one's master thesis comes up. Usually, master students are faced with other challenges, however.
Those first coming to Bonn for their masters might not know any professors or research groups here. Names alone often don't mean much unless students are familiar with a professor from a lecture.
Other times, students want to write about a different topic than they did for their bachelor thesis, whether that means switching between experimental and theoretical physics or choosing a different topic in their previous area of research.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

All physics and astronomy professors, as well as some from other fields, are asked to present.

Many research groups have their own websites with information regarding bachelor and master theses as well as their current research topics. You can look there for topics you're interested in.

Once you've found a research group that you'd like to work with for your thesis, you can contact them directly for more information.
