We will explore the design space of avatars in Virtual Reality to support learning and creativity. The project will leverage the concept of "embodied cognition", a set of theories that imply that our bodies and their interaction with the environment can impact how we learn. We will develop a Unity3D-based VR environment for embodied learning that can be deployed on everyday VR headsets. - Computer Graphics, Computer-Human Interaction

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.

We are working on a novel product which tracks breathing with standard earphones (like Apple AirPods) only. To do this we capture the sound of breathing with the microphone which is in every earphone. We are working on an algorithm with which we can detect the ventilatory thresholds (VT1/VT2) with the breathing rate captured via the earphones. BreezeLabs is an ETH spin-off. - Biomedical Engineering, Sport and Exercise Psychology, Sports Medicine
