Open Opportunities

Evolution of human diet and body composition University of Zurich Institute of Evolutionary Medicine Nutrition and obesity are major topics in medicine and research. We explore insights in the evolution of human nutrition and human obesity by studying modern data on human diet and body composition. Medical and Health Sciences Master Thesis

Reinforcement learning for 3D surgery planning of Femoral Head Reduction Osteotomy (in collaboration with Balgrist hospital) University of Zurich Robotics and Perception In the course of this master thesis, you will help us to improve our current surgery planning methods by developing an approach to predict the reposition of the fragment and the pose of the cutting planes defining the bone wedge. Information, Computing and Communication Sciences Master Thesis

Learning features for efficient deep reinforcement learning University of Zurich Robotics and Perception Recent work has shown that it is possible to learn temporally and geometrically aligned keypoints given only videos. Engineering and Technology, Information, Computing and Communication Sciences Master Thesis, Semester Project

Reinforcement Learning for Drone Racing University of Zurich Robotics and Perception Reinforcement Learning for Drone Racing Engineering and Technology, Information, Computing and Communication Sciences Semester Project

Implementing Dynamic Causal Models in the Probabilistic Programming Framework With Applications to Brain Connectivity Modelling ETH Zurich Translational Neuromodeling (TNU) Estimating causal relationships between parts of the brain is an ongoing challenge. The aim of this project is to transfer well-known models of brain connectivity to a probabilistic programming framework that is amenable to fast model iteration and flexible, composable inference methods. Biomedical Engineering, Medical Physics, Pattern Recognition, Signal Processing, Simulation and Modelling Master Thesis

Embedded systems development with NVIDIA Jetson TX2 for fast drone flying University of Zurich Robotics and Perception At the Robotics & Perception Group research lab we are developing a custom carrier board for NVIDIA’s Jetson TX2 (running on Ubuntu). We have an existing, but not yet fully functional prototype of this connector board. Intelligent Robotics Bachelor Thesis, Internship

Data analysis for single protein sensors ETH Zurich Biosensors and Bioelectronics (LBB) Technologies that allow for the sensing of single biomolecules (e.g. proteins) which are related to deseases like Alzheimers or cancer are needed to improve future research, diagnostics, and treatment. This work will allow students to deepen their knowledge in data analysis. Engineering and Technology, Information, Computing and Communication Sciences, Mathematical Sciences, Physics Bachelor Thesis, Collaboration, Internship, Master Thesis, Semester Project

Transcriptional pattern changes and impact on genomics of a mid-term stay of human cells on the International Space Station – «The effects of weightlessness on immune cells» University of Zurich Oliver Ullrich The immune system deteriorates during space flights. We investigate the cellular effects of microgravity during parabolic flights, rocket launches and on the ISS. We systematically benchmark different hypotheses bioinformatically on omics data and verify the results during microgravity missions. Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, Genetic Immunology Internship, Master Thesis
