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

| Ski touring provides a unique and immersive outdoor experience, but the ascent can impose a considerable amount of strain on the body, especially for novices, elderly, or people with disabilities. The objective of this master thesis is to redesign an existing concept and functional model of an electric ski touring device that supports hill ascents, aiming to enhance the ski touring experience for individuals with lower fitness levels by making it less physically demanding and more enjoyable. The current model must be optimized with respect to weight, function, energy consumption, and usability (donning/doffing). After successful fabrication and testing, first steps shall be performed to identify intellectual property and market needs, and finally plan the commercialization of the e-touring ski. - Engineering and Technology

| Mobility is typically self-optimized for a particular region to accommodate internal travel needs. However, as soon as one considers multiple, interacting regions (e.g., urban areas interacting with agglomerations, and agglomerations interacting with rural areas), important coordination issues occur, including scheduling mismatches, fleet allocations, and congestion peaks. In short, a mobility system composed of self-optimized mobility systems seems to often operate suboptimally.
In this project, we will investigate the idea of strategic interactions of future mobility stakeholders across heterogeneous regions, such as urban areas, agglomerations, and rural areas, leveraging techniques from network design, optimization, game theory, and policy making. - Automotive Engineering, Information, Computing and Communication Sciences, Mathematical Sciences, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Transport Engineering

| Conventional pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products (e.g., sport supplements) provide limited control over the release of bioactive ingredients (AIs) and poor absorption and bioavailability. To grant a proper therapeutic effect and athletic performance, common products need frequent intake at high dosages. This scenario is associated with an increased risk of short and long-term complications that can affect the performance of athletes as well as compromise the health long-term. Recently, novel techniques (e.g., 3D printing) and biomaterial formulation have become available for personalized sport supplements. The high versatility, flexibility, and increase absorption resulting from such products, open the way for increasing performance in sport but also for health benefits to generic people by target physiological characteristics and needs of specific groups. - Biomedical Engineering, Biotechnology, Chemical Engineering, Human Movement and Sports Science, Industrial Biotechnology and Food Sciences, Macromolecular Chemistry, Manufacturing Engineering, Materials Engineering, Medical Biochemistry and Clinical Chemistry, Medical Physiology, Pharmacology and Pharmaceutical Sciences

| Gene therapies have the potential to enable the treatment of multiple currently incurable diseases, but delivery of these therapeutic molecules to the target tissue continues to present a major obstacle to their success and clinical translation. Our lab at Brigham and Women's Hospital has invented multiple novel drug delivery strategies, multiple of which have begun to be evaluated in human clinical trials. We are currently working to develop next-generation gene delivery platforms to accelerate the translation of these potentially transformative therapies to the clinic. - Biology, Chemistry, Materials Engineering, Pharmacology and Pharmaceutical Sciences

| In 2021, solar and wind power for the first time provided more than 10% of the world’s electricity [1]. This makes wind a major and strategic part of the mix to achieve the energy transition and a green economy. Despite broad public support for renewables in general, challenges in social acceptance for wind continue to occur regionally and locally. The opposition usually focuses on aspects such as wildlife safety, biodiversi-ty protection, noise, visibility and landscape impacts, and loss in property values [2, 3]. For the effective implementation of wind farms, it is crucial to understand and address these varying facets of social accept-ability. This study aims to assess the perspectives of residents living near wind farms across different Euro-pean regions, employing Multicriteria Satisfaction Analysis (MUSA) [4]. The objective is to devise region-specific strategies to enhance the acceptability of wind energy projects. Additionally, this research will ex-plore the relationship between socio-demographic and geographical characteristics of the residents and their acceptance of wind power, aiming to uncover underlying factors influencing the social acceptability of wind energy. - Engineering and Technology
