| Background: Topology is vital in medical image segmentation, emphasizing anatomically correct structures & removing incorrect ones. Previous works [1-3] explored how to enforce topological constraints, however, are applied only at training. Recent diffusion-based models [4, 5] offer a novel way to enforce topological constraints during inference.
MSc Thesis: First, you will develop a diffusion model for segmentation. Next, you will be devising a novel way to integrate topological constraints in the diffusion model. Importantly, we aim to publish the results of this work with you at a high-impact conference or journal. - Artificial Intelligence and Signal and Image Processing, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Interdisciplinary Engineering, Mathematical Sciences

| In this project, we are going to develop a vision-based reinforcement learning policy for drone navigation in dynamic environments. The policy should adapt to two potentially conflicting navigation objectives: maximizing the visibility of a visual object as a perceptual constraint and obstacle avoidance to ensure safe flight. - Engineering and Technology

| Recent research has demonstrated significant success in integrating foundational models with robotic systems. In this project, we aim to investigate how these foundational models can enhance the vision-based navigation of UAVs. The drone will utilize learned semantic relationships from extensive world-scale data to actively explore and navigate through unfamiliar environments. While previous research primarily focused on ground-based robots, our project seeks to explore the potential of integrating foundational models with aerial robots to enhance agility and flexibility. - Engineering and Technology

| The main tract for transmitting noxious stimuli is the spinothalamic tract, receiving its input from different types of small fibers in the skin i.e., mechanical- or heat-sensitive fibers. In spinal cord injury as in other pathologies involving neuropathic pain and sensation deficits, it is crucial to assess spinothalamic tract integrity with objective methods. This depends on a well-characterized stimulation modality, activating small fibers, and implies the recording of brain activity in response to this stimulation (electroencephalography; EEG). Intra-epidermal electrical stimulation (IES) using a concentric triple electrode is known for its clinical potential due to small fiber activation and is a good candidate for the activation of the spinothalamic tract. However, to implement IES as a diagnostic tool in the clinical routine, feasibility, and test-retest reliability need to be assessed compared to other stimulation modalities. - Central Nervous System, Neurology and Neuromuscular Diseases, Peripheral Nervous System, Sensory Systems
