Open OpportunitiesThe interest in material platforms formed by hydrogels in direct contact with tissues or cells has continued to grow in biomedical engineering technologies due to their simple implementation and robust properties. However, even with increased interest in these systems little is known about how these material systems integrate into tissues and if they can be utilized to augment human tissues to treat disease or reverse tissue damage. This project aims to increase our understanding of the changes to tissues that occur upon addition of hydrogel systems and identify formulations that can be further investigated to solve clinical needs and improve patient care. - Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Engineering

| The ability to detect obstacles on the vehicle's path is crucial for developing autonomous vehicles, such as trains or cars. Detecting objects early enough and, therefore, at a long range is crucial, especially for heavy vehicles like trains. It is helpful to know where the train tracks and other infrastructure elements are for vision-based systems. Rather than using machine learning approaches, which require extensive labeled training data and long inference times, one could reproject a known railway map into the camera view. Estimating the camera's exact position and rotation relative to the vehicle, and achieving a good alignment, is the challenge here. - Computer Vision, Image Processing, Mechanical Engineering, Pattern Recognition

| Currently, more than 2.6 billion people lack access to safe and affordable sanitation (SDG6). Flush toilets connect to sewer systems consume scarce water resources, are expensive, and are difficult to install in densely populated areas. There are alternatives that do not rely on water, but these technologies are also not suited for populations that use water, instead of paper, for anal cleansing. Akyas, a social enterprise, has developed a novel prototype that allows for the separation of excreta and ablution water; this prototype is in the early stages of development and requires both pilot and community testing. The goal of this project is to refine the current prototype, test it with artificial excreta, engage with manufacturers for production, and test the first product with actual users (most likely in Bangladesh). - Engineering and Technology

| The Bosch IoT Lab (Prof. Dr. Oliver Gassmann, Prof. Dr. Felix Wortmann) – a joint initiative of the Institute of Technology Management at the University of St. Gallen, the Department of Management, Technology, and Economics at ETH Zurich, and the Bosch Group – is looking for: Research Assistant and PhD Student «Digital Strategy for the IoT and AI.
The Internet of Things (IoT) with its smart, connected products is having a disruptive impact on product companies. In essence, the convergence of the IoT and artificial intelligence (AI) is fundamentally changing the way they create and capture value. To leverage the potential of the IoT and AI, product companies develop digital strategies that outline how an organization uses these technologies to capitalize on their potential.
In light of these developments, we are looking for a personality with a strong will to create a meaningful impact. Are you eager to investigate how product companies develop and implement their digital strategies? Are you keen on understanding what fundamental megatrends and opportunities they address and what key measures they consequently implement? We are looking for you! - Economics, Engineering and Technology
