The pollution of the environment with plastics and microplastics is a growing problem. The goal of this research project is on the one hand to model their flows to the environment and on the other hand to perform experimental studies about the release of microplastics from products. - Environmental Impact Assessment

Engineered Nanomaterials (ENM) are contained in many commercial products. During various stages of the life cycle of a product, ENM can be released into the environment. The aim of this work is to investigate release, flows and risks of ENM in the environment, based on a life-cycle perspective. - Environmental Sciences

Goal of this thesis is to develop a novel learning algorithm in Matlab. This could be pave the way to mitigate the undesirable linear and non-linear distortions of electrical and optical transmitter components and increase the performance, i.e. the signal-to-noise ratio of the optical transmitter. - Digital Systems, Optical and Photonic Systems

Optoacoustic (photoacoustic) imaging has been the fastest growing imaging modality since first in vivo applications were demonstrated in the early 2000s. The Multi-Scale Functional and Molecular Imaging Group (ETH Zürich and University of Zürich) has pioneered five dimensional (real-time multi-spectral three-dimensional) optoacoustic tomography and demonstrated its unique capabilities in biomedical research. This approach has also been shown to offer promising prospects for the diagnosis and treatment monitoring of many conditions in the clinical setting. We offer Master projects in both physical and life sciences covering the following topics
- Development of new systems (hardware)
- Development of reconstruction and processing algorithms (software)
- Biological studies in neuroscience, cancer, cardiovascular biology and others.
- Biomedical Engineering, Mathematics, Medical Biotechnology
