Job Description:

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows observing chemical and bio-chemical processes in living systems. Besides its importance for medical imaging and diagnostics, it is increasingly used in chemical engineering, life sciences, and materials science. Often, there is a need to manipulate samples within the MRI to implement experimental protocols. However, automation inside the MRI scanner is challenging due to the high magnetic fields, which limit the use of servo actuators, and space constraints.

The objective of this Master project is to design and test a prototype robotic manipulator capable of operating with high accuracy, reliability, and speed inside an MRI scanner.

The project will be conducted in three phases:

1. Develop and model the kinematics of a robotic arm suitable for operation within an MRI magnet.
2. Design and build a prototype for operation outside the magnet and evaluate its performance.
3. Design and build a final version and demonstrate its operation within an active MRI system.

Success in this project may lead to publication in an internationally peer-reviewed journal.

Start date: as soon as possible.

We are seeking a curious mechanical or electrical engineer with strong analytical skills in kinematics and kinetics, and practical skills in prototyping microcontroller applications.
