Open Opportunities

Elucidating the etiopathology of neuronal development and maturation in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) using iPSC-induced neuronal modelling University of Zurich Neurobiochemisches Labor The Master candidate will learn the method generating iPSC following by neuronal generation to study maturation and differentiation alterations in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) patients compared to controls. Morphological, molecular and functional techniques will be applied. Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Cellular Nervous System, Fetal Development and Medicine, Gene Expression, Neurogenetics, Psychiatry Master Thesis

Optical Flow Estimation with an Event Camera University of Zurich Robotics and Perception The goal of this project is to use event cameras to compute the optical flow in the image plane induced by either a moving camera in a scene or by moving objects with respect to a static event camera. Computer Vision, Intelligent Robotics Master Thesis

Visual Bundle Adjustment with an Event Camera University of Zurich Robotics and Perception The goal of this project is to improve an existing visual odometry pipeline using an event camera by designing and integrating a visual bundle adjustment module in order to reduce the drift in the odometry pipeline. Computer Vision, Intelligent Robotics Master Thesis

Event Camera Characterization University of Zurich Robotics and Perception Event cameras such as the Dynamic and Active Pixel Vision Sensor (DAVIS) are recent sensors with large potential for high-speed and high dynamic range robotic applications. Computer Vision, Robotics and Mechatronics Bachelor Thesis, Semester Project

Building a high-speed camera! Learning Image reconstruction with an Event Camera University of Zurich Robotics and Perception The goal of this project is to turn an event camera into a high-speed camera, by designing an algorithm to recover images from the compressed event stream.

Probabilistic Finite Element Model of Functional Spine Units from Deep Learning Segmented Images ETH Zurich Snedeker Group / Laboratory for Orthopaedic Biomechanics Our project at the Orthopedic Biomechanics group in Balgrist Campus in collaboration with Uniklinik Balgrist aims to augment the preoperative imaging data on which a surgeon can rely. This problem is addressed with the development of an adaptable pipeline that can automatically extract features on clinical data of healthy and pathological vertebrae, based on machine learning techniques. These features will be used in different simulation environments like Finite Element models and Multibody Dynamic models to provide information about different surgical procedures. Engineering and Technology, Medical and Health Sciences Master Thesis, Semester Project
