Assay developement for cancer diagnostics ETH Zurich Biosensors and Bioelectronics (LBB) You will develop a diagnostic test for testicular cancer. The focus of the project will be on creating the biochemical protocols for the test. The project is in collaboration with a prelaunch startup and a hospital (USZ). Therefore, it is ideal for motivated students who want to have a direct impact Analytical Biochemistry, Biological and Medical Chemistry, Biomedical Engineering, Immunological and Bioassay Methods, Interdisciplinary Engineering, Materials Engineering, Sensor (Chemical and Bio-) Technology Master Thesis

PhD position in University of Zurich, Switzerland University of Zurich Institute for Regenerative Medicine IREM This PhD project aims to develop technologies to overcome the gap between on-chip and rodent pharmacokinetics and improve in vitro to in vivo extrapolation. We will use an integrated deep learning approach to recapitulate pharmacokinetics from hybrid dynamic imaging of rodent-on-chip.

3D reconstruction with event cameras University of Zurich Robotics and Perception This project will explore the application of event camera setups for scene reconstruction. Accurate and efficient reconstructions using event-camera setups is still an unexplored topic. This project will focus on solving the problem of 3D reconstruction using active perception with event cameras​. Information, Computing and Communication Sciences Master Thesis, Semester Project

Event-based depth estimation​ University of Zurich Robotics and Perception This project will focus on event-based depth estimation using structured light systems. Information, Computing and Communication Sciences Master Thesis, Semester Project

PhD Position on Stimulated Raman Scattering Microscopy University of Zurich Experimental Imaging and Neuroenergetics The group of Experimental Imaging and Neuroenergetics (Prof. Bruno Weber) at the University of Zurich is seeking a PhD student for a new project on Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS) microscopy. The lab has longstanding experience in in-vivo (mainly two-photon) imaging technologies (calcium, FRET, FLIM, SHG/THG) combined to stimulation protocols in anesthetized and awake mice. As part of our investigations, we are interested in the distribution and consumption of glucose in different cell types in the brain. The implementation of SRS, combined with specially designed glucose derivatives, is a very powerful tool to address such questions in a minimally invasive way, while at the same time producing advanced structural information. The project will focus on the implementation of the technique in one of our custom-built multi-photon microscopes, involving precise optical alignment and fast beam modulation, detector design, advanced lock-in amplification-based detection strategies and data analysis (including deep-learning based denoising strategies). The ideal candidate should have a background in engineering or physics, with strong interest in the application of measurement hardware and advanced data analysis for the implementation of new technologies in life science experiments. We offer a cutting-edge experimental infrastructure and a dedicated supervision in a multidisciplinary team at Irchel Campus of UZH.
