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/Assistanships
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.
Efficient data processing and reporting in stroke neuro-rehabilitation
Project goal is to optimise existing and develop new algorithms into an efficient system for signal pre-processing, data storage, analysis and visualization in motor-neurorehabilitation. This data is generated by stroke patients wearing motion sensors during their therapy sessions. Key endpoint of the project is to display real-time and longitudinal therapy results, which can aid therapists and patients. The results of the project will help develop a more efficient therapy and is a key part of a larger project that seeks to develop an intelligent and closed-loop neural stimulation system for stroke rehabilitation.

Mechanistic Evaluation of taVNS in Motor Adaptation for Stroke Rehabilitation
This study aims to evaluate the mechanisms by which transauricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) may facilitate motor learning and adaptation, focusing on reticulospinal tract (RST) activation. A set of assessments will be used to build a comprehensive neurophysiological profile, providing insights relevant to developing taVNS-based clinical interventions. In this role, you will engage in study design, data collection, and analysis, gaining hands-on experience in mechanistic neurophysiological research with direct clinical applications.

Mini-Praktika/Erfahrungswoche
Als Teil der täglichen Arbeit für Forschung und Lehre an der ETH Zürich bemüht sich das RELab weiter, die jüngeren Generationen und zukünftigen Studenten oder Wissenschaftler bereits für das Thema Rehabilitationstechnik zu begeistern. Zusammen mit dem RELab-Spinoff Auxivo, bieten wir beispielsweise Erfahrungstage resp. mini-Praktika für Gymnasiumschüler an, in welchem sie sich an den Exoskeleton Ausbildungskits «Edu-Exo» erproben dürfen.
