Bachelor/Studies on Mechatronics/Semester and Master Projects
You can find a list of student projects available at the Rehabilitation Engineering Laboratory here. Please also have a look at our ongoing research projects, and feel free to contact the responsible person to identify further student projects related to your interests and expertise.
Internships/Assistantships
If you identify an ongoing research project to which you would like to contribute in the context of an internship, please contact the responsible person. Note that ideally internships will last at least 4 months.
Regulatory-Compliant Medical Device Packaging Design & Prototyping
Design and prototype a regulatory-compliant, brand-aligned packaging solution for a medical device. The work includes translating needs into packaging requirements, cross-checking existing box label content against applicable regulatory documentation and standards in collaboration with the QMS (e.g., MDR/ISO), iterating visual/branding design, and building physical mock-ups (including some 3D printing). Material selection and pricing/supplier comparisons may be performed to ensure the solution is scalable and manufacturable.

Multimodal ADHD-Biomarker Study – AI Precision Medicine
Join a paediatric neuroimaging study at ETH Zurich and University Hospital Zurich that aims to improve ADHD diagnosis. You will work with cutting-edge brain imaging technology from the ReLab bringing wearable neuroimaging from the lab to real-world clinical care. The study combines fNIRS (functional near-infrared spectroscopy), EEG, and motion sensing to identify objective biomarkers for ADHD – moving beyond symptom checklists toward personalized psychiatry.

Embedded Software Validation Tests for a novel medical device
This project develops a software validation framework and automated test bench to verify the firmware safety and fault-tolerance of an IMU-driven, non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation device. The work focuses on ensuring that the embedded firmware consistently enforces stimulation safety limits, maintains deterministic control-loop timing, and responds correctly to sensor faults and abnormal system conditions. Through simulated IMU inputs, controlled fault injection, and automated stimulation-output monitoring, the project provides structured evidence of safe firmware behavior across normal and stressed operating scenarios.
