The research project deals with an intelligent measurement system, a part of Intelligent Vision Agent System, which gathers data in order to reconstruct 3D information. The project focuses on development, design and implementation of a high-performance autonomous distributed information system. The results can be applies in many fields especially for health and medical care, security [...]
Eawag, the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, is a Swiss-based but internationally active research institute within the domain of the ETH (Swiss Federal Institute of Science and Technology). It is committed to the ecologically, economically and socially responsible management of water.
Applications are invited for a PhD studentship on the study and development of a robot operating in a smart home. This project is part of a wider programme to develop intelligent environment technologies. An intelligent environment is fitted with sensors to monitor and infer activity within the home. A mobile robot can help by monitoring [...]
Adaptive optics (AO) is used in large telescopes to compensate for disturbances in the atmosphere as well as vibrations of the telescope’s optical components. With the increasing dimensions of telescopes, up to 42m for the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT), the dimensions of the AO systems are increasing such that the computational complexity of the [...]
This PhD project aims at developing mechanistic (and also empirical) process models for innovative pharmaceutical production processes (e.g., continuous processing, hot-melt extrusion, freeze-drying,…), and to exploit those models in the development of advanced process control systems. The research will be conducted in close cooperation with pharmaceutical companies. Research results will be published in important scientific [...]
Our lab studies molecular virology of HIV infection and AIDS. Using transcriptome and whole-genome RNA interference analysis, we identified several cellular co-factors of the HIV nef gene. Current studies aim to validate these and to understand the role of Nef in the viral life cycle and pathogenicity. Techniques used are flow cytometry, virus culture, cloning, [...]
The Research Training Group (RTG 1644) on Scaling Problems in Statistics, funded by the German Science Foundation (DFG), seeks applicants for 2 PhD positions in price transmission processes, starting October 1, 2010. Two sub-projects will study the influence of scale on the measurement of vertical and spatial price transmission processes for agricultural and food products. [...]
The International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) “The Exploration of Ecological Interactions with Molecular and Chemical Techniques” in Jena, Germany, is offering 7 PhD fellowships beginning in January 2011. Students holding a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in molecular biology, ecology, entomology, microbiology, chemistry, biochemistry, neuroethology or plant physiology, with a proven record of success in [...]
