Master Thesis - Optimizing AI Generated Code's Energy Efficiency

• Join our Team

About this opportunity:

GenAI-based coding assistants and autonomous coding agents, such as Codex- and Claude Code-like systems, are increasingly used for code generation, completion, refactoring, testing, debugging, and optimization. While these tools can improve software-development productivity, the energy efficiency of the software they create is becoming increasingly important for sustainable production systems.

What you will do:

This thesis will investigate how coding agents can be integrated with energy analysis, profiling, etc. tools in its pipeline, including design, implementing, and evaluation. The expected result is a prototype and experimental evaluation of an energy-aware GenAI-assisted software-development workflow. The outcome may include:

• a methodology for evaluating the greenness of GenAI-generated applications;
• an architecture for integrating energy feedback with coding agents;
• techniques for whole-application optimization;
• a benchmark and experimental results; and
• recommendations for energy-aware agentic software development.

The skills you bring:

• background in computer science, software engineering, or a related field.
• Good programming skills in Python or another modern programming language.
• Familiarity with Linux-based development environments and command-line tools.
• Interest and experience in generative AI, large language models, and AI-assisted software development.
• Ability to conduct technical literature reviews, design experiments, analyze results, and document findings.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work independently while communicating effectively in an international working environment.
• Good written and spoken English.
