| Check-dam sequences are built in rivers to stabilize the river bed during flood events. They are often accompanied by heavy bank protection, which is very costly and leads to poor habitat conditions. Can the bank protection be omitted to a certain degree? This thesis will investigate bank erosion processes between check-dam sequences in a physical scale model. - Environmental Engineering Design, Water and Sanitary Engineering

| Many industrial assembly tasks require high accuracy when manipulating parts, e.g., when inserting an object somewhere, such as a box that we would like to put in a bin. Here, the tolerances that are required can vary wildly.
While industrial manipulators are generally accurate in a controlled setting, as soon as the environment is not as structured as we would like it to be, we need to leverage feedback policies to correct for inaccuraies in estimation, and unexpected/unmodeled effects.
The setting we are interested in in this work is robotic bin packing, i.e., enabling a robot to pick objects (initially boxes/parcels), and (the focus of this work) placing them in a box, where other previously placed object possibly obstruct the placement. - Robotics and Mechatronics

| The remarkable complexity of morphogenesis and tissue regeneration implies the existence of a transcellular communication network in which individual cells sense the environment and coordinate their biological activity in time and space. To understand the fascinating ability of tissue self-organization, comprehensive study of biophysical properties (cellular nanomechanics such as tension forces and bioelectromagnetics) in combination with the analysis of biochemical networks (signaling pathways and genetic circuits) is required.
In this framework we are investigating the unacknowledged key role of Desmoglein 3 (Dsg3) as a receptor involved in mechanosensing, capable of initiating a signaling response in the transcellular communication network, which results in stem cell fate conversion, plasticity and tissue repair.
Our goal is to apply innovative Fluidic Force Microscopy to measure altered biophysical parameters upon disruption of Dsg3 transadhesion such as cell stiffness, cell-cell adhesion, cell surface charges and electric potentials. Together with the University of Bern and University of Lübeck we are further investigating how these biophysical changes relate to transcriptomic, epigenomic and proteomic response circuits to ultimately infer biophysical and biochemical circuits involved in Dsg3 signaling.

| Diaxxo, an innovative ETH Zürich spinoff, is transforming diagnostics with cutting-edge PCR technology that combines lab-grade accuracy with field-ready simplicity. Our mission is to enable faster, affordable, and accessible detection of viral and bacterial infections, driving impact in animal health, food safety, and human diagnostics.
We are seeking a motivated Hardware Engineer (electrical / mechatronics) to join our team in Zürich, starting May 2025 (or a mutually agreed date). This role involves contributing to the design and assembly of devices and cartridges and quality control. It’s an excellent opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a dynamic startup environment while supporting our mission to revolutionize diagnostics. No specific experience is required—just motivation, commitment, and adaptability. - Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Medical and Health Sciences

| The variations of the Earth's gravity field on a monthly scale mainly indicate the global water dynamics and provide invaluable information for understanding the Earth system[1]. Monthly gravity variations can be measured by GRACE(-FO) satellite missions with higher accuracy, but the data availability of such satellite missions is limited. On the other hand, the monthly gravity field variations can also be detected by analyzing orbit perturbations of satellites in low-Earth orbit (LEO)[2], or using the satellite laser ranging (SLR)[3,4] techniques. SLR provides extended data records but typically with worse spatial resolution and accuracy. - Earth Sciences, Geodesy
