ID 2343: Developing Machine Learning Methods for Genetic and Physiological Analysis in Depression

Master's Thesis Background: In recent years, there has been increasing focus on the immune system's involvement in psychiatric disorders, including Major Depressive Disorders (MDD). Genetic variants associated with MDD have been linked to immune response pathways. Additionally, genetic facto...

ID 2329: Refinement, Feasibility and Evaluation of an eHealth Application for Palliative Care

Master's thesis/Bachelor's thesis/Project Background Patients in palliative care are often treated with opioids for pain relief. However, patients react very differently to opioid dosages. Furthermore, opioids can cause serious adverse reactions. As wrong dosages can lead to serious unwanted outco...

ID 2326: EmpkinS D03 – Contactless Measurement of Acute Stress from Micro Movements

Bachelor's / Master's Thesis / Research Internship / Project Acute stress reliably activates, among other pathways, the sympathetic nervous system, leading to changes in heart rate (variability) (HR and HRV), respiration, pre-ejection period (PEP), and electrodermal activity (EDA). So far, these pa...

ID 2325: EmpkinS D03 – Contactless Measurement of Acute Stress from Macro Movements

Bachelor's / Master's Thesis / Research Internship / Project The observation of body posture and movements is a promising extension to the established biopsychological markers for stress measurement, such as self-reports, saliva, or blood samples. Body posture and movements provide additional infor...

ID 2263: Wearables and Biosignals in Pilot Training and Aviation Safety

Master's thesis Wearable technology (such as fitness trackers) use several sensors to record biosignals, such as Photoplethysmography, Accelerometers/Gyroscopes, and Electrodermal activity. These sensors may be helpful in an aviation context, particularly with respect to human factors and pilot per...

ID 2308: Re-Identification for Polar Bears and Other Animals

Research Internship / Master Project / Master Thesis Re-Identification of individual animals is an important task for zoological institutions as well as observations in the wild. This serves the purpose of Animal Welfare, Conservation and Research. Impact/Motivation Help Biologists and Vete...

ID 2316: Development of a Biomechanical Simulation of Skateboarding

Master's Thesis Skateboarding involves the interaction between the skateboard, the rider, and the environment. There are several factors that influence the dynamics of skateboarding, such as the rider’s center of mass, weight distribution, and angular velocity. In addition, the interaction between ...
