Delayed bone healing or failed non-unions account for 5 – 10% of all bone fractures and present a challenging problem in regenerative medicine. The impact of delayed unions or non-unions can be devastating with prolonged rehabilitation, decreased quality of life and significant health care costs. Our lab has conducted fracture healing studies in young and prematurely-aged mouse models with different defect sizes. The aim of this project is to analyse data from mice which exhibit delayed unions and non-unions. - Biomaterials, Biomechanical Engineering

| In the context of global Covid-19 pandemic it may be tempting to side-line other health issues, however lockdowns and imposed restrictions are expected to worsen impacts of two of them in particular – bodyweight/metabolic and mental health problems. What is even more telling is that often these are comorbidities of one another - that is they are commonly diagnosed with one another. From an evolutionary biology point-of-view this link is less surprising, as all animals share a risky survival strategy – to move in order to secure energy and nutrients, avoid danger, spread out to novel environments and ultimately reproduce. However, this also means animals require expending a lot more energy, which in turn must be scavenged with surplus. To enable a mobile lifestyle, complex regulatory systems have evolved that compute energy and nutrient requirement against energy expenditure and metabolic needs: from sensory to digestive and metabolic systems, all the way regulatory hormonal and nervous systems, most important of which is the brain. Because these systems evolved to work together it therefore makes sense to study them in concert, which until recent technological advances was prohibitively difficult. - Central Nervous System, Modeling and Simulation, Systems Biology and Networks

| A unique LED-based solar simulator has been developed in-house and successfully commissioned this spring at the novel lab of the Professorship of Architecture and Building Systems at ETH Zurich (https://systems.arch.ethz.ch/zero-carbon-building-systems-lab). For the first tests and to establish performance maps of this new infrastructure we are looking for a skilled student (engineering background) to support us with the measurement campaigns. - Electrical Engineering, Engineering/Technology Instrumentation, Heat and Mass Transfer Operations, Mechanical Engineering

| To enable new applications on drone platforms, novel sensors coupled with with machine learning algorithms are essential. Such sensors are, for example, event-based cameras. They are fast (~kHz speed) and resilient to the environment (e.g. poor lighting conditions). Current cameras already utilize small FPGAs to convert the event stream to common interface standards, such as USB. However, for our drone system already incorporates a powerful FPGA for processing, these conversions waste energy and increase processing latency. - Electrical and Electronic Engineering

| Polymer networks are made by cross-linking polymer chains at their ends by means of a chemical reaction. While the properties of used reactions are usually very well characterized for small molecules, little is known about how the presence of a polymer chain and its length affect this reaction. In this project, we aim to study this, mostly experimentally, but also including a theoretical approach. We propose to start with boronic ester chemistry, which has been already characterized in literature and in our lab. the reactants will be functionalized on linear PEG chains. We plan on studying both the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters. - Characterisation of Macromolecules, Physical Chemistry of Macromolecules, Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics

| To enable new applications on drone platforms, novel sensors coupled with with machine learning algorithms are essential. Such sensors are, for example, event-based cameras. They are fast (~kHz speed) and resilient to the environment (e.g. poor lighting conditions). To utilize the full potential of these cameras, neuromorphic computing is needed to process their output. Our FPGA-based drone platform is capable of operating such an event-based camera, and allows for efficient hardware acceleration of the computationally expensive neuromorphic algorithms. - Electrical and Electronic Engineering
