Open OpportunitiesHydrocephalus is described as a disturbance of the balance between production, passage, and resorption of the cerebrospinal fluid into the bloodstream that causes an expansion of the ventricles of the brain and can be treated with the placement of a shunt. Most shunt systems consist of a thin tube with a differential pressure valve and are placed from a lateral ventricle to the peritoneum. The technology has hardly changed in the past 60 years and suffers from high failure rates. Additionally, little is known about the etiology of hydrocephalus. - Medical and Health Sciences

| Chronic wounds (i.e. venous, diabetic ulcers) are regarded as a silent epidemic, which affects 1-2% of the population and represent 2-4% of healthcare expenses. On the other side, approximately 900 mil-lion people suffer worldwide from acute injuries (i.e. penetrating trauma, burns) requiring specia - Chemistry, Medical and Health Sciences
- Master Thesis
| At Empa, the Cellulose & Wood Materials laboratory is developing a 3D printing platform for the production of functional cellulose based devices. In particular, we work on materials with locally tuneable mechanical properties triggered by light. - Chemical Engineering, Composite Materials, Mechanical Engineering, Polymers

| 1 June to 23 June 2020 - The ETH Singapore Month brings together ETH, local and international students in Singapore to research and test options for solving societal challenges under the theme «The Future of Circular Economies». - Agricultural, Veterinary and Environmental Sciences, Architecture, Urban Environment and Building, Artificial Intelligence and Signal and Image Processing, Behavioural and Cognitive Sciences, Economics, Engineering and Technology, Language and Culture, Studies in Human Society
- Summer School
| Robot-assisted therapy of stroke patients is a promising approach to improve the therapy outcome and to tackle the challenges of demographic ageing. Using a novel 6 DoF exoskeleton prototype, we want to investigate/develop new control strategies for the next generation of these robots. - Intelligent Robotics, Mechanical Engineering, Neurosciences, Rehabilitation Engineering, Robotics and Mechatronics
- Master Thesis, Semester Project
| We are developing a biosensor of fish cells on a microfluidic chip for water quality monitoring by impedance sensing. We will construct a water mixing unit, miniaturise the system, and enable remote control & online data viewing. After prototyping in the lab, the system will be tested on lake Geneva - Biosensor Technologies, Engineering/Technology Instrumentation, Environmental Engineering Design, Environmental Sciences, Environmental Technologies, Fluidization and Fluid Mechanics
- Master Thesis, Semester Project
| Precise handling of single cells is of fundamental importance for modern genetics and disease research.
The goal of the project is the characterization and improvement of a non-invasive acoustically-activated system for the manipulation of cells and microparticles. - Fluidization and Fluid Mechanics, Mechanical Engineering
- Semester Project
| In Switzerland, official reports state that 6.5 % of all car accidents are connected to driving under the influence of alcohol. In this thesis, you will explore this topic and develop an approach to mitigate those risks. - Business and Management, Engineering and Technology, Information Systems, Law, Justice and Law Enforcement, Nutrition and Dietetics, Nutrition and Physiology, Psychology, Transportation
