Master’s Thesis Opportunities

We offer Master’s thesis projects primarily focused on geological carbon storage (CCS), gas hydrates, and underground hydrogen storage (UHS). Projects can be experimental, modeling-based, or simulation-driven, depending on the student's interests and background. Each Master’s project is embedded within an ongoing research initiative, ensuring that students contribute to real-world challenges and cutting-edge developments in the field.

Master’s Thesis Opportunities

Integration into Research Teams

Students are integrated into student research teams, which include junior and senior MSc students, PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers, and faculty members. These teams are organized around specific research themes (e.g., CCS or UHS) and meet bi-weekly to: 

  • Share and discuss recent results
  • Exchange best practices and methodologies
  • Coordinate experimental or modeling activities
  • Foster collaboration and peer learning 

The diversity in experience levels within each team promotes knowledge transfer, mentorship, and a collaborative learning environment

Supervision and Support

Each student is assigned a primary supervisor and has access to co-supervisors or mentors within the team. Regular feedback and milestone meetings help ensure steady progress and academic development. 

Outcomes and Opportunities

Master’s students gain hands-on experience with advanced research tools, laboratory equipment, and simulation software. Many students contribute to peer-reviewed publications, present their work at national and international conferences, and build strong professional networks. Several of our MSc graduates have continued into PhD programs or secured positions in industry, research institutes, or government agencies working on energy transition and subsurface technologies.
