Impact of ulcerative colitis on skeletal muscle performance
Patients suffering from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) describe muscle weakness and limited motility, particularly in their extremities. Just like the eventual cause for the disease itself, the rationale behind muscle weakness in IBD remains speculative and a potential cure or amelioration remains to be found. Therefore, we conduct a comparative pilot study governing the entity of most common active and passive biomechanics recordings to characterize performance losses in an IBD mouse model.

Master’s Thesis – Ulcerative Colitis
Implementing pedagogic user guidance and human-machine interaction
The resourcefulness of practical classes is often hampered by (i) the anxiety to independently operate expensive lab equipment or (ii) the fact that practical classes are still a scarce event in STEM study courses. Therefore, we aim to create a virtual laboratory (vLab) that acts as an online course before precipitating in a real practical class and/or can be provided independently from any practical class to extensive cohorts of students. Yet, the vLab is still missing pedagogic user guidance and a human-machine interface to receive tasks AND personalized adaptive feedback, which will be your task to implement and evaluate.

MyoRobot 3.0 - Stretch-correction & auto-focus LWD Optics System
Online structure-function recordings, e.g. the sarcomere length distribution during active contraction or (in)homogeneity during passive hysteresis stretches, require three essential properties not governed by the current setup. This limits the ease of application for the user and represents a thorn in the otherwise fully automated system for pre-clinical muscle diagnostics. Therefore, we plan on implementing a high resolution long-working-distance (LWD) optical platform, featuring stretch-correction and auto-focus functionality.
