The Advanced Software Technologies Lab is led by Professor Zhendong Su. We are part of the Institute for Programming Languages and Systems in the Department of Computer Science at ETH Zurich. We work in the areas of programming languages and compilers, software engineering, computer security, deep learning and education technologies. Specific research projects that we are actively involved in can be found on our Research page.
Our group has a wide range of possible topics for bachelor's and master's theses at ETH and we are always looking for motivated and enthusiastic students. Possible thesis topics include software/system building, empirical investigations, to algorithmic and theoretical explorations. Excellent work should lead to high-impact (practical, conceptual, or theoretical) results and publications at relevant top computer science venues. Interested students are encouraged take a look at our publications and various projects, such as the EMI compiler testing project, the SQLancercall_made project, and Project Yin-Yangcall_made.
