Research Internships at HU BerlinOpen OpportunitiesEvaluation of different inverter topologies and different modulation schemes using a multi-objective optimization procedure for a given target drive system. Optimization with respect to different objectives, e.g., efficiency, power density, costs. An existing toolchain provides a framework which can serve as a starting basis for your models and optimization algorithms. Analysis and validation of the design based on vehicle drive cycles. - Electrical Engineering

| Action recognition is an essential task in computer vision and has numerous applications in various fields, including robotics, surveillance, and healthcare. The recognition of actions involves the analysis of temporal and spatial information within a video sequence. Current state-of-the-art methods use 3D hand and object poses for action recognition, where the object's corners are commonly used for representation. However, this approach has limitations in accurately modeling the hand-object interaction. In [1], we show that leveraging hand-object contact-map representation helps improve action recognition. However, this representation can be learned implicitly for the task of action recognition.

| After a neurological injury (such as stroke), many patients suffer from impairment of the hand and finger function. Clinical assessments aim to measure and quantify those impairments for a better understanding and to specifically target those deficits in rehabilitation. One aspect of hand function, that is not truly understood yet is finger individuation: the ability to move one finger independently of the others. In a previously developed assessment device, we use force sensors attached to a hand module to measure this dexterous skill. This individuation device measures finger flexion (pushing) over different force levels, but the individuation ability in extension (pulling) remains unknown. The aim of this project is to implement an extension assessment (by adapting the existing protocol) and compare as well as test it before its implementation into the clinical routine. - Biomedical Engineering, Clinical Sciences, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Human Movement and Sports Science, Interdisciplinary Engineering, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Neurosciences, Other

This individuation device measures finger flexion (pushing) over different force levels, using a simple user interface. But to facilitate the measurement process and increase comprehension for cognitively impaired patients, we need to improve the assessment visualization and execution. - Computer Software, Electrical and Electronic Engineering

But before it can routinely be put into practice, its reliability (in a test-retest setting) and validity must be proven. - Biomedical Engineering, Clinical Sciences, Human Movement and Sports Science, Neurosciences, Other, Public Health and Health Services

| Borehole image logs serve as essential datasets for extracting a wide range of geological features. Traditionally, analysing these logs has involved a tedious labelling process by geological experts. Recently, machine learning has demonstrated remarkable capabilities in image processing. This project focuses on utilizing machine learning model to improve the efficiency and accuracy of detecting and classifying discontinuity features within borehole wall imagery. - Artificial Intelligence and Signal and Image Processing, Geology

| A Master project starting in Spring 2023 is available in the group of Prof. Roland Riek, Laboratory for Physical Chemistry (D-CHAB). The student will build a 25 MHz Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometer. The spectrometer console will run on a compact board (SDR Lab, Red Pitaya) [1]. A permanent magnet will (10 x 10 x 10 cm3) generate a field of 0.6 T, corresponding to a 1H NMR frequency of 25 MHz. - Antenna Technology, Chemical Spectroscopy, Digital Systems, Electrical Engineering, Instruments and Techniques

| You will obtain functional constructs of living muscle tissue that can be implemented into robots as bio-actuators. The tissue will be realized via bioprinting or conventional biofabrication in 3D designs at the mm-to-cm scale. The deformation of the constructs will be achieved via electrical stimulation of contractile muscle cells, and integrated sensing elements will monitor the motion of the tissue constructs, improving functionality and autonomy. We will use granular hydrogels to develop sensing components to monitor the state of 3D organoids. - Biology, Composite Materials, Medical and Health Sciences
