Open Positions
We are currently searching for talented, experienced, and highly motivated researchers for the following positions
Description:
A prosthetic limb is commonly controlled by interpreting myoelectric signals from the muscles left after amputation. Currently we use different deep learning approaches to predict which movement the prosthesis user is intending to execute to accomplish a task (check out this video of a patient using one of the current algorithms). A promising, yet unexplored, avenue to improve movement predictions is to consider the chronology of the acquired data, i.e. to consider the acquired data as a time series. In this project, you’d be implementing, testing, and comparing different time-series prediction algorithms with the aim to improve prosthetic control accuracy.
Required field of study:
Computer science and/or engineering
Required skills:
Experience in machine learning (specifically deep learning)
Matlab and/or Python
Project duration:
30 or 60 ECTS
Description:
You will learn about an applied area of prosthetic device use specific to the core technologies we produce at CBPR (restoring function due to sensorimotor impairments). This will be by performing a literature review followed up by developing and submitting a manuscript for publication. You will have to be self-motivated, an excellent communicator and demonstrate your writing ability. We offer writing support, advice, editing, as well as technological support in the area we are asking you to write.
Required field of study:
Any
Required skills:
Writing in English language to a high level
Project duration:
60 ECTS
