Internship/ Master Thesis: Machine Learning for Assessment of Walking Patterns in the SCI population - Time Series Classification

Sensory-Motor Systems Lab

Gait patterns in multiple impairments present unique and complex patterns, which hinders the proper quantitative assessment of the walking ability for chronic ambulatory conditions when translated to daily living. In this project, we will focus on finding clusters of gait patterns through unsupervised learning from a large dataset of incomplete spinal cord injury individuals. The goal is to investigate hidden patterns in relation to the type of injuries and find their application for future diagnosis and rehabilitation treatment. Your work will guide future rehabilitation methods in general clinical practice, through applied classification and dimensionality reduction in Biomechanics of walking. Goal: Develop an unsupervised clustering pipeline for a large dataset of gait patterns from spinal cord injured individuals for class similarity evaluation

Assessing the feasibility of plantar pressure measurement devices for monitoring the diabetic population

Biomedical and Mobile Health Technology Lab

The goal of the project is to assess the feasibility of using commercially available plantar pressure monitoring devices (so called smart insoles) on the diabetic population. Pressure ulcers are a common complication of the diabetic foot, and monitoring plantar pressure continuously is a potential measure of prevention. Diabetic patients are often prescribed personalized footwear (e.g., curved insoles that accommodate any deformity in the feet). This project aims at assessing the potential of the smart insoles available on the market to monitor plantar pressure in diabetic patients with such custom footwear.

Physics-informed machine learning in microfluidics

Acoustic Robotics for Life Sciences and Healthcare (ARSL)

Understanding the distribution and mechanics of velocity and pressure within microaneurysms is crucial for controlling microrobots navigating through them. Traditional methods for velocity and pressure measurement in microchannels, such as particle image velocimetry (PIV) and numerical simulations based on fluidic physics laws, suffer from high computational demands and inability to operate in real-time. Moreover, pure image methods struggle with near-wall regions lacking visible particles. Leveraging recent advancements in machine learning, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs), this project proposes a novel approach - a physics-informed CNN integrated with Navier-Stokes equations and optical flow equations. This CNN aims to accurately predict velocity and pressure profiles in microchannel flows in real-time using only flow images and essential physical parameters. The network architecture comprises an encoder-decoder structure with seven convolutional layers, incorporating down-sampling and up-sampling layers. The final output layer produces three channels representing horizontal velocity, vertical velocity, and pressure. Additionally, a physics-informed loss function, incorporating dimensionless Navier-Stokes equation residuals and optical flow equation residuals, enhances the model's performance by integrating knowledge of fluid dynamics and computer vision. This approach represents a promising advancement towards achieving real-time, high-accuracy prediction of velocity and pressure fields in microchannel flows, with potential applications in microrobotics and microfluidics.

Already today, microbubbles are being used as ultrasound contrast agents. Their ability to precisely be manipulated to a target area gives rise to a lot of new possible applications. specially the ability to deliver drugs accurately and avoiding drug-tissue interactions with the surrounding healthy tissue would be groundbreaking for modern medicine. WE plan to implement a stable on-chip fabrication of liposomes and microbubbles and study the acoustic effect over the produced microbubbles. We investigate the effect of flow rates on the size of the produced bubbles and examine their stability.
