This research internship focuses on building a comprehensive promoter database for Bacillus subtilis. Candidates will identify and analyze strong promoters based on literature and SubtiWiki, assess their suitability for recombinant protein expression, and evaluate potential tandem promoter combinations. The project supports the development of next-generation microbial production systems for sustainable agriculture.

This project aims to analyze the contribution of different input features to biomechanical prediction models based on wearable sensor data. The focus lies on applying and evaluating explainable AI (XAI) techniques to a transformer-based architecture. By integrating post-hoc interpretability methods with a state-of-the-art transformer model, the project aims to systematically quantify the impact of individual sensor features on the prediction of lower-body kinematics and kinetics.

As part of the EU-funded GLUMON project, we are developing a novel approach for non-invasive glucose monitoring based on optoacoustic mid-infrared spectroscopy. This technology has the potential to enable continuous and pain-free blood glucose measurement — a real step forward in diabetes care. The main goal of this development is further miniaturization and an alternative to the current transmission mode measurement. You will investigate the combination of mid-infrared spectroscopy and fiber-optic ultrasound detection using COMSOL Multiphysics. Your work will greatly enhance existing simulations of the two regimes and combine them to identify key performance indicators for a miniaturized non-invasive glucose probe. Thesis Objectives The goal of this thesis is to develop and enhance existing simulations for fiber-optic ultrasound detection in combination with mid-IR excitation. The outcome of your simulation will be directly applied in an experimental setup with the option for you to conduct these experiments on your own. Tasks • Literature review of ultrasound propagation and interaction with different materials, optoacoustic signal generation • Development of a COMSOL simulation that integrates both domains of optoacoustics • Characterization and validation of the model with experimental data • If desired: experiments can be performed by you! Requirements • Enrolled Master’s student (m/f/d) in Physics, Computer Science, Data Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or a related field • Solid programming skills in Python or MATLAB • Good understanding of optical and acoustic principles • Experience with COMSOL What We Offer • Opportunity to contribute to a cutting-edge, interdisciplinary research topic with real-world impact • Exposure to both academic research and practical applications through collaboration with a MedTech startup • Flexible working conditions (on-site lab work and remote work possible) Interested?
