For suggested topics of new BSc or MSc projects (in Greek), see here.

The following theses of students I have supervised or co-supervised are available. Most of the theses are in Greek, but several of them are summarized in journal or conference articles; see my publications page. The software that accompanies some of the theses is available from the software and data page of AUEB's Natural Language Processing Group and/or my publications page.
