Abschlussarbeiten
Studierende haben die Möglichkeit, ihre Bachelor- oder Masterarbeit im Bereich der Bewegung, Ernährung und Gesundheit zu schreiben. Arbeiten sind in folgenden Forschungsbereichen möglich:
- Auswirkung von Bewegung auf die Regulierung der Nahrungsaufnahme
- Energiebilanz und Körperzusammensetzung in verschiedenen Bevölkerungsgruppen
- Bewegung, Gewichtsabnahme und Knochengesundheit
- Energie- und Nährstoffbedarf von Athleten
Konkrete Themenvorschläge mit Ansprechpartner finden Sie auf dem Schwarzem Brett weiter unten.
Für Masterarbeiten sind auch eigene Themenvorschläge in diesen Forschungsbereichen herzlich willkommen und werden gerne diskutiert. Bei Interesse kontaktieren Sie bitte unser Sekretariat (info.exnutri@mh.tum.de).
Forschungskolloquium
Im Forschungskolloqium tauschen sich die Studierenden mit den wissenschaftlichen Mitarbeitern über ihre Ideen, ihr Vorgehen, den Umfang sowie die Struktur ihrer Arbeit aus. Dies ist einerseits als Hilfestellung für die Studierenden gedacht, indem sie Tipps zum wissenschaftlichen Vorgehen erhalten. Andererseits soll das Forschungskolloquium den roten Faden der Abschlussarbeit und damit einen erfolgreichen Studienabschluss sichern.

Extremes of Human Energy Expenditure
- 1 master or bachelor thesis

- If interested please contact: Karsten.koehler(at)tum.de and indicate your prior expertise in the areas mentioned above
Validation of Algorithms for Detection of Eating Events based on Continuous Glucose Monitoring Data
Accurate dietary assessment remains a challenge, particularly in free-living settings. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has promise in optimizing the assessment and monitoring of food intake, with potential benefits for clinical practice, including a reduced participant and staff burden. In recent years, research examining the use of CGM for the automatic detection of eating events has accumulated and detection algorithm have been developed.
The goal of the proposed master thesis is to apply several published continuous glucose monitoring data-based algorithms for meal detection to (our) existing datasets. The goal is further to identify the most accurate algorithm(s) and potentially refine them for further improved accuracy and everyday applicability.
- 1 Master Thesis
- Applicants should have a strong background in mathematics and/or computing, and experience with data processing and analysis (Matlab, R, etc).
- If interested please contact christoph.hoechsmann(at)tum.de and indicate why you are interested in this research project.
Detection of Activities of Daily Living (ADL) via Smart Meter Data
- 1-2 master theses
- The proposed master's thesis focuses on analyzing smart meter data (power and water consumption) in collaboration with an industry partner. The goal is to develop a pattern recognition algorithm to detect typical ADLs such as meal preparation (oven/stove, microwave, refrigerator, water kettle, etc) and personal hygiene (flushing the toilet, shower use, other water consumption).
- Applicants should have prior experience with data processing and analysis (Matlab, R, etc).
- If interested, please contact christoph.hoechsmann(at)tum.de and indicate why you are interested in this research project.
