The goal of the project is to develop a simple and versatile method for production of robust conductive patterns on textile via deposition of conductive polymers. This technology will allow further development of wearable electronics for biomedical applications. - Chemistry, Medical and Health Sciences, Polymers

| We are seeking an engineering-focused Master student to join our research team at SLF Davos
for an exciting thesis project centered on granular flow dynamics. The project will involve
experiments conducted with dry granular material (e.g., sand) on generic 3D printed topographies
(e.g., curved channels, cliffs, etc.) and real-world topographies. The candidate will work on a newly
constructed flume to study how topographic features affect alpine mass movements’ dynamics
and runout. - Environmental Engineering Modelling, Geology, Geotechnical Engineering, Soil and Water Sciences

| Are you passionate about combining cutting-edge proteomics and immunology to unravel the mechanisms behind human diseases? Join Prof. Christoph Messner’s lab at the Precision
Proteomics Center, Swiss Institute of Allergy and Asthma Research (SIAF), affiliated with
the University of Zurich.
At the Precision Proteomics Center in Davos, we develop and apply cutting-edge, mass spectrometry-based technologies to analyze clinical samples (body fluids, tissues, cells) to identify new biomarkers and disease mechanisms that will contribute to the next generation of personalized treatments. The position is available for an immediate start and will be contracted until the end of 2026, with the possibility of extension. - Biotechnology, Computational Biology and Bioinformatics

| This project aims to tackle a practical issue that has been overlooked in space exploration: managing menstruation in microgravity. Right now, most female astronauts rely on hormonal contraception to stop their periods during missions, but this approach is not sustainable for long-term space travel. As missions extend to destinations like Mars, we need solutions that allow astronauts to manage their natural biology safely and effectively.
Beyond just managing periods, menstrual blood itself holds untapped potential. Not only can it be used for its nutrients as fertiliser, but it also contains stem cells that could be used for regenerative medicine onboard spacecraft, which is particularly valuable in the resource-limited environment of space. Developing a system that can collect and transfer menstrual blood for laboratory use could open up new opportunities for on-board medical treatments and resource recycling, which are critical for the future of deep-space missions.
In 2022, SpaceshipFR -the French representative of the European Space Agency project to develop human technologies for Moon and Mars- has initiated the development of a reduced gravity adequate menstrual cup. This project aims to build on the insights learnt and further develop prototypes of menstrual blood collection devices that can effectively retrieve menstrual blood in reduced gravity conditions. - Mechanical and Industrial Engineering

| Hydrocephalus is a medical condition characterized by the disturbed dynamics of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and its excessive accumulation in the brain ventricles. In contemporary therapy, a shunt system is implanted that drains CSF from the ventricles into the peritoneal space. While various types of shunt systems exist, they are essentially all based on passive mechanical pressure valves that are driven by the external pressure gradient. This limits the efficacy of these shunts and complications such as over- and underdrainage may occur. To improve the therapy of hydrocephalus, we are working towards intelligent mechatronic shunt systems that are capable of monitoring vital signs and adapting CSF drainage according to the patient’s actual needs. In this project, you will support the technical upgrade of an existing hardware-in-the-loop test bench that is used for the evaluation of existing shunt systems and the development of smart shunt system. - Biomedical Engineering, Dynamical Systems, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Theory and Control

| The safe provision of intravenous (IV) medications to pediatric patients requires highly controlled delivery, especially due to the small dosages such young patients need. In high-income settings, an infusion or ‘syringe’ pump is typically used to electronically or mechanically maintain a set rate of delivery. Additionally, the use of these pumps creates a need for consumables that are not interchangeable between pump brands and creates a unique and highly specific supply chain requirement. In humanitarian crisis settings, pediatric patients face complex health challenges, some of which require the patient to be put under anesthesia or receive medications or fluids over time. Infusion pumps are rarely available, so healthcare providers do not have a quick nor reliable way of measuring the flow rate of IV delivery. As a result, pediatric patients do not receive the care they need.

| This project focuses on enhancing SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) in operating rooms using event cameras, which outperform traditional cameras in dynamic range, motion blur, and temporal resolution. By leveraging these capabilities, the project aims to develop a robust, real-time SLAM system tailored for surgical environments, addressing challenges like high-intensity lighting and head movement-induced motion blur. - Engineering and Technology, Information, Computing and Communication Sciences
