Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum Stiftung des öffentlichen Rechts - Smart Technologies für die Tumortherapie

The Department “Smart Technologies for Tumor Therapy” (Prof. Tian Qiu) at the German Cancer Research Center (Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, DKFZ) Site Dresden and the Institute of Semiconductors and Microsystems, Dresden University of Technology (TUD) has one opening for

Research assistant student/HiWi/Master thesis student (f/m/d)
in Mechanical/Microsystems Engineering/Material Science to work on
Magnetic actuation systems for micro-robots

English

The aim of the project is to design, fabricate, test and optimize magnetic actuation systems that are used to actuate small-scale robots for surgical applications. The project is funded by the European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant VIBEBOT, for the initial period of three months.

Tasks:

Specific tasks for the Master student include:

  • System/structural design under dynamic conditions
  • Modelling and simulation of magnetic fields
  • 3D fabrication and assembly of organ phantoms for robot testing
  • Assembly and programming of the actuation system

Requirements:

A master student in Engineering, Material science, Physics or relevant subjects is required. Interest or experience in system design, molding processes, and wireless actuation is preferred. The successful candidate should be self-motivated, possess excellent English skills, be open to discussing new ideas in an interdisciplinary team, and be flexible in applying various experimental methods. The project can be further extended to a student research project or a Master’s thesis.
