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.
