Bachelor Thesis Projects

It would be my pleasure to be the supervisor of your bachelor's thesis project. Either within one of the research projects at the logistics lab or, in case you are going to work with a company, if the topic is close to my core topics (logistics business processes - e.g. picking, material staging - integrating technology and information systems in logistics).
