Peripheral intraneural stimulation can provide tactile information to amputees. However, efforts are still necessary to identify encoding strategy eliciting percepts that are felt as both natural and effective for prosthesis control. Here we want to develop neural modulation strategies able to improve the naturalness and efficacy of stimulation to convey sensory information to trans-femoral amputees implanted with intraneural electrodes. - Biomedical Engineering, Peripheral Nervous System, Sensory Processes, Perception and Performance, Sensory Systems

A modified CM247LC superalloy has recently been developed at Empa for additive manufacturing. The objective of this student project is to investigate the high-temperature mechanical integrity (tensile, fatigue, creep) of the developed alloy over a temperature range of 25-1000°C. - Engineering and Technology

To further automate the process of Coronavirus mass testing, the position of sample tubes in collecting racks has to be identified. For this, a simple computer vision approach should be realized end-to-end, including hard- and software. The approach can be evaluated in actual corona testing stations - Mechanical Engineering

Finite element (FE) thermal simulation of additive manufacturing processes is computationally very expensive due to the need for employment of fine time and space discretization levels. This student project aims to employ neural networks as a general function approximator to develop a metamodel that would generate the outcome of FE simulations based on given inputs parameters. - Engineering and Technology, Information, Computing and Communication Sciences, Mathematical Sciences
