Open OpportunitiesIn dieser klinischen Studie werden jugendliche Patienten mit Skoliose einer Röntgenuntersuchung unterzogen. Anschliessend werden optische 3D Aufnahmen der Rückenoberfläche in verschiedenen Haltungen und Bewegungen aufgenommen. Die Ergebnisse aus den optischen 3D Aufnahmen werden in der Datenauswertung mit den klinischen Parametern aus der Röntgenauswertung verglichen. - Biomechanics

| It was recently shown that helical auxetic structure allows one to achieve strain sensitive fibres with high sensitivity. Rigidity/stiffness of components of these sensors also plays a role in sensitivity to strain. To further improve our recently published textile strain sensing modality—helical auxetic yarn capacitive sensors—we are seeking a thesis/project student to develop a conductive composite formulation and process to wet-spin fibres of different stiffnesses. Employed as sensors, the effect of stiffness on sensitivity can be tested experimentally. The outcome of this project will further the development of highly sensitive, scalable textile strain sensors. - Biomedical Engineering, Chemistry, Composite Materials, Polymers, Process Control and Simulation

| This project aims to develop and validate an easy-to-use, versatile and cloud Virtual Reality (VR) platform, combining customizable visual scenarios and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), for the assessment and intervention of disabilities leading to body representation disorders. On one hand, the system holds potential to gather closer insights on how patients perceive their body due to their condition. On the other hand, the platform would exploit VR features to create personalized and interactive scenarios for rehabilitation purposes. - Biomedical Engineering, Information, Computing and Communication Sciences, Medical and Health Sciences

| Osteocytes are mechanosensory cells embedded in the bone matrix. Despite remarkable efforts, the reconstruction of functional 3D osteocyte networks in vitro has remained a major challenge. Here, we are developing 3D bioprinted bone in vitro models containing living osteocyte-like cells to study how these terminally differentiated human bone cells perceive and respond to microenvironmental cues and how this dynamic interplay contributes to bone mechanotransduction. - Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Biotechnology, Chemistry, Medical and Health Sciences
- Internship, Master Thesis, Semester Project
| Current tissue engineering strategies fail to recreate the complex bone architecture where a 3D bone cell network resides in the cavities for mechano-regulation of bone remodeling. This project aims to create a 3D printed in vitro model of bone for medicine. - Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Biomaterials, Interdisciplinary Engineering, Macromolecular Chemistry, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Medical and Health Sciences, Polymers
- Master Thesis
| This project aims to develop a clinically usable electrode for transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) therapy. The objective is to create an electrode that is biocompatible, low-impedance, and easy to use, allowing patients to apply it themselves with minimal setup time. The project involves conducting a literature review, evaluating existing designs, selecting appropriate materials, developing a prototype, and assessing its efficacy and usability in a clinical setting. The outcome will be an electrode that enhances the convenience and effectiveness of tVNS therapy, contributing to improved patient treatment adherence and outcomes. - Biomedical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering

| This thesis aims to work on the research question of whether nocturnal hypoglycemia can be detected based on data collected during the day. The exact focus can be determined together, for example:
• Addressing missing data in time series
• Concentrate on feature engineering, e.g. calculation of hand-crafted features and comparison of feature selection approaches - Biomedical Engineering, Knowledge Representation and Machine Learning, Signal Processing
