Noise from wind turbines can potentially affect the health of surrounding ecosystems and the human population. However, the potential adverse effects of wind turbine noise are often mitigated by proper planning, including setbacks from residential areas, strategic wind farm placement, and noise reduc-tion technologies. Hence, research is needed to understand the specific effects of wind turbine noise on ecosystems and human populations and develop appropriate mitigation strategies. - Environmental Engineering Modelling, Environmental Impact Assessment

| We are looking for a highly motivated Master student to perform the Master thesis in a collaborative project between the Multi-Scale Robotics Lab (Dr. Minghan Hu, D-MAVT) and Laboratory for Soft Materials and Interfaces (Prof. Lucio Isa & Dr. Jeremy Wong, D-MATL) at ETH Zurich. By encapsulating bacteria in microcapsules and organizing them in specific patterns, we aim to understand how these communities form and behave. This research offers an exciting opportunity to explore the dynamics of bacterial communities and contribute to the development of innovative biotechnological methods. - Biomedical Engineering, Interdisciplinary Engineering, Materials Engineering, Medical Microbiology, Microbiology

| We are seeking a highly motivated ETH Zurich student for a paid position to help open-source the Cubli platform, an advanced robotics system. The role involves refining CAD designs, hardware prototyping, and integrating electronics and software. Applicants should demonstrate experience in hardware prototyping and/or software development (C++, Python). You’ll work closely with the technical team at IDSC to document the entire process and make the Cubli easy to rebuild. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to a high-impact project and collaborate with leading experts in the field. - Engineering and Technology, Information, Computing and Communication Sciences

| Rapid emission reductions are needed so that the Paris Agreement's target to limit global warming to well below 2°C remains attainable. Pathways in line with this target presume a swift transition to low-carbon energy sources and – on top – the deployment of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies to remove historic emissions and compensate for emissions that cannot be completely eliminated.
Direct air capture (DAC) with carbon dioxode (CO2) storage offers a scalable, permanent, and relatively easily measurable, reportable, and verifiable CDR method. However, DAC technologies are still in their infancy and high costs have hindered large-scale deployment of DAC. While there are advantages to DAC in its potential to address emissions from distributed sources, the development and deployment of DAC systems has been limited by their high cost and energy requirements.[1] Most research and development has focused on solid sorbent and liquid solvent DAC, both of which use thermal and electrical energy.
To overcome the high energy requirements of DAC systems using thermal energy, electrochemical DAC systems have been recognized as a promising alternative due to their potentially lower energy consumption at lower temperatures and pressures. [2] However, the technological maturity of electrochemical DAC systems is low, with most systems still at laboratory scale. It remains to be assessed how they compare with DAC systems using thermal energy.

| Walking has been proven to create the best sense of presence while exploring virtual environments. However, walking in virtual environments comes with the constraint that the virtual and the physical space must have the same dimensions. This limitation restricts the size of the virtual spaces. Various techniques have been developed to overcome this issue, such as RDW and impossible spaces. Although significant progress has been made with these methods, exploring large virtual environments can still lead the user to reach the boundaries of the physical space. Therefore, a safety mechanism is needed to prevent the user from colliding with the walls. The most popular safety mechanism is having resets, which are messages displayed to the user asking them to stop and perform a certain action that turns them away from the wall before continuing the exploration. However, resets reduce immersion and thus should be avoided as much as possible. - Information, Computing and Communication Sciences

| Nerve cuff electrodes are designed for reliable recording and stimulation of peripheral nerves, as illustrated in Figure A. This project aims to develop a wireless, self-locking cuff electrode tailored specifically for nerve stimulation, as depicted in Figure B. The student will determine a suitable biocompatible material for the electrode, design the electrode structure, and optimize its curvature using both theoretical analysis and finite element method (FEM) simulations to enhance the electrode's ability to wrap around the nerve. The student will also explore the electrode's application in stimulation in the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and investigate other potential biomedical applications. - Biomaterials, Biomechanical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering

| This project involves creating an intelligent tool designed to enhance the learning experience for students and developers engaging with programming tutorial videos. The tool will use LLMs to automatically analyze and synchronize video content with the corresponding code snippets presented during the tutorial. By mapping specific video timestamps to the code being discussed by the instructor, users can easily navigate between the instructional content and the relevant code.

| Granular materials form complex networks of force chains arising from frictional interactions between particles. Under applied shear, this network of contacts can undergo complex topological and geometrical rearrangements. The connection between these grain-scale patterns and the macroscopic behavior of the material is still a field of active research. In this project we will employ Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to shed light on these processes, focusing on the regime where granular materials approach unjamming and failure. The models will be trained on data from high fidelity discrete element simulations as well as experimental measurements with grain-scale resolution. - Geotechnical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering
