Open Opportunities

Are we done getting taller? University of Zurich Institute of Evolutionary Medicine Trends in height and growth in Switzerland over the past 200 years are analysed. We combine monitoring data (size at birth, schoolchildren, conscripts) as well as survey and family data. Of interest are inter-generational effects as well as socioeconomic/regional differences. Public Health and Health Services Bachelor Thesis, Master Thesis

Master thesis: Why do Modic Changes cause back pain? University of Zurich Department of Rheumatology This project investigates why more sensory nerve endings are found in Modic changes (MC), a painful and highly prevalent, yet poorly understood spinal pathology. In-vitro sprouting of sensory nerves will be quantified in co-culture with human bone marrow aspirates from human MC and control aspirates Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Cell Physiology, Sensory Systems Internship, Master Thesis

Model-Aware Neural Networks for Dynamic Vision Sensor Reconstruction ETH Zurich Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance The primary aim of the project is to develop a modern model-aware netural network to reconstruct imaging data from Dynamic Vision Sensors in collaboration with Sony research Europe. This opportunity is offered as a master's project. Information, Computing and Communication Sciences, Mathematical Sciences, Physics Collaboration, Internship, Master Thesis

Validation of a Scapula Orthosis for Exoskeletons and Exosuits ETH Zurich Sensory-Motor Systems Lab Help us to validate our newly developed scapula orthosis as a standalone device and with our exoskeleton and exosuit. We are looking for a motivated Master student with experience in study preparation, data acquisition and/or data analysis. Public Health and Health Services, Rehabilitation Engineering Master Thesis
