The reintegration of individuals who have experienced accidents is at the heart of our efforts. A severe car accident or a workplace accident, can profoundly change a person's life. Such tragic events often result in serious injuries, such as severed limbs, and are classified as "polytrauma." At our lab, we are working to mitigate the consequences of such severe accidents. Using an innovative perfusion machine, we try to keep severed limbs alive outside the body for up to four days. This time window provides the foundation for successfully retransplanting the limb to a stabilized polytrauma patient. - Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering

| If you are interested in the synthesis of nanoparticles, then you are in the right place!
Project Description: The project is centered on the microwave-assisted synthesis of tungsten oxides and the characterization of their plasmonic properties. More specifically, the effect of reaction parameters (e.g. reaction temperature, time and pressure, reactants’ concentration, …) on the nanoparticles’ structure, morphology, and optical properties will be investigated. The main characterization techniques will be UV-vis and powder-XRD spectroscopy, together with electron microscopy (SEM, TEM, …) but others will be employed based on need.
Environment: You will work in a friendly group, where helping one another is valued and cherished.
Supervision style: I will actively teach you how to synthesize and characterize materials. You will also be directly supported throughout the whole project (meaning you will not be left completely alone, and a second explanation can always be given). At the same time, it’s expected that after an introductory period you will be able to work more autonomously and give your contribution to the project.

| Project Summary
We’re developing a powerful new in vitro model to untangle the complex mechanical cues—osmotic pressure and substrate stiffness—that skin cells experience every day. These signals are deeply intertwined in the body, but we’re building a system to decouple and precisely control them, for the first time. Why? Because understanding how cells respond to these forces is crucial for engineering functional tissues, guiding organ regeneration, and tackling mechanobiology-driven diseases like fibrosis.

| Introduction and Background
Skin cells dynamically respond to mechanical and biochemical stimuli, which influence critical processes such as proliferation, differentiation, and migration. By understanding this interplay, mechanical and biochemical stimuli may be used in the future to facilitate the growth of skin patches, tissue formation, and organ regeneration, enabling new therapies and benefiting patients. The study of these responses, mechanobiology, requires advanced in-vitro systems to emulate physiological conditions. This project utilizes a device designed for controlled manipulation of hydrostatic pressure (0.1–1.5 kPa) and substrate stiffness (0.1–100 kPa). The system facilitates isolated and scalable experiments to analyze how the interplay of these mechanical parameters affects cell behavior. In this thesis, the student will use this system to investigate how different stimuli affect cell behavior.

| The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is a state-of-the-art computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model used to simulate fluid flow based on the solution of the Boltzmann equation. LBM has considerable advantages in solving low Mach number flows as compared to conventional Navier-Stokes solvers, mainly due to the locality and explicitness of operations. This results in a huge potential for massive parallel computing on modern distributed memory machines.
Adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) is a commonly employed computational technique in CFD to enhance the ratio between efficiency and accuracy of simulations by dynamically adjusting the resolution of the computational grid based on some local indicators of the flow. By adaptively refining the grid in regions of interest, e.g. shocks in compressible flows or interfaces in multiphase flows, AMR can provide high resolution where it is most needed, while reducing computational effort and memory footprints in regions where coarser resolution is sufficient.
The group recently developed a parallel AMR solver based on a finite-volume discrete velocity Boltzmann method (FV-DVBM). The solver is strictly conservative and showed promising results for compressible flows with moderate Mach numbers and discontinuities. The advantages of AMR, however, are not restricted to the regime of compressible flows. Therefore, the group is currently developing an AMR framework for general purpose kinetic models, including LBM.
The goal of this project is to incorporate a standard lattice Boltzmann model for isothermal, low Mach number flows (D2Q9, possibly D3Q27) into the AMR framework and to validate it with (2D, possibly 3D) test cases. For a master’s thesis, the scope shall be extended to include work on boundary conditions, complex geometries, as well as models for compressible, turbulent, or multiphase flows, depending on discussed preferences.
