Open OpportunitiesOpen vocabulary video semantic segmentation (OV-VSS) aims to assign a semantic label to each pixel of each frame of the video given an arbitrary set of open-vocabulary category names. There are a number of attempts on open vocabulary image semantic segmentation (OV-ISS). However, OV-VSS does not get enough attention due to the difficulty of video understanding tasks in modeling local redundancy and global correlation. In this master thesis project, we plan to fill the gap by extending existing OV-ISS methods to OV-VSS. Specifically, we aim to develop a OV-VSS method which achieves high accuracy by using temporal information and keeps high efficiency.

| Sum-of-Squares (SOS) relaxation is a beautiful technique to solve nonconvex optimization problems. As computational capabilities continue to increase, so is the scope of engineering challenges that can be tackled with this method. The goal of this project is to exploit the flexibility of SOS relaxations to design new data-driven control methods for linear dynamics, that can more efficiently incorporate prior knowledge on the system and cope with noisy input-output data. - Dynamical Systems, Optimisation, Systems Theory and Control

| The efficient operation of excavators in construction environments necessitates precise pose estimation of their buckets. Current methods rely on IMUs placed on the excavator arm which require tedious calibration and can be damaged during construction operations. This project aims to leverage computer vision and machine learning to enhance pose estimation, thereby enabling VR overlays for teleoperation and facilitating automation tasks. - Information, Computing and Communication Sciences

| We are developing a teleoperated micro-assembly system. A core component is a force-sensitive micro-gripper. A first gripper prototype has been realized and evaluated. Your task will be to review and improve the current design and to implement automated object slippage detection. - Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Robotics and Mechatronics

| In many autonomous navigation applications, the robot must interact with the environment to learn and complete tasks. Furthermore, these applications are safety-critical, and crashes cannot be afforded. This necessitates the safe learning of the unknown environment in order to achieve the task objective (e.g., detecting a leak or mapping an area). For example, consider an application of safe exploration in a warehouse with a wheeled robot to identify the source of a gas leak. - Mechanical Engineering

| The stochastic diffusion equations ruling the dynamics of particles at the micro- and nano- scale are captured by energy-minimizing dynamics when observed macroscopically, i.e., at a population level. This framework encompasses, for instance, single cells perturbation responses to chemical, genetic or mechanical stimuli, gene expression and cell differentiation.
Recent advances in the theory of optimal transport and optimization in the Wasserstein space have created unprecedented opportunities to tackle these and other problems at scale. This active research area provides an excellent playground for exploring advanced mathematical concepts, deploying sophisticated learning and optimization algorithms, and solving open problems in biology, medicine, and various other fields.
The project can be both theoretical and applied, and can include topics on optimization, optimal transport, deep learning, and biology. The project can be tailored to the preferences and experiences of the student. - Artificial Intelligence and Signal and Image Processing, Biomaterials, Calculus of Variations and Control Theory, Optimisation, Physical Chemistry

| Adherence to rehabilitation therapy is crucial for the recovery of hand functionality in stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients. However, sustaining patient motivation to train at home remains a challenge. This project aims to explore the impact of push notifications on adherence to physical therapy among stroke and TBI patients. By investigating the optimal frequency and content of notifications, the goal is to develop a notification/reminder system that fosters continuous engagement with the rehabilitation plan, ultimately promoting increased therapy and better functional outcomes for patients. - Engineering and Technology, Information, Computing and Communication Sciences, Medical and Health Sciences

| In this project, we will investigate how the productivity level of a global supply chain is impacted by local interaction structures and decision-making dynamics via mathematical analysis and simulation. We will extend existing models on the two-player supply chain game to multi-player supply chains with non-trivial connectivity structures modeled via graph theory, and investigate various player dynamics (e.g. consensus, best response, gradient descent) in combination with different interconnection structures(e.g. trees, small-world network, star) to study the stability of the overall supply chain. - Engineering and Technology, Operations Research, Optimisation, Systems Theory and Control
