Student projects
At the MSE Lab, we offer student projects in the fields of signal and image processing, scientific programming and simulation, machine learning, experimental research and embedded systems. Our topics appeal to students from a wide range of disciplines – from robotics and nanotechnology to applied mathematics – and range from acoustic measurement techniques in microelectronics and measurement systems for technical processes, through acoustic material characterisation and medical imaging, to human-machine interfaces and wearable sensors.
