Die Projektarbeit Mechatronik ist in die Projektarbeit Produktions- und Systemtechnik integriert. Die Anmeldung für beide Vertiefungsrichtungen erfolgt zu Beginn des jeweiligen Semesters über StudIP unter „Projektarbeit Produktions- und Systemtechnik“.
Dies ist die Liste der zur Zeit am IMT ausgeschriebenen Projekt-, Studien-, Bachelor- und Master-Arbeiten.
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) is a carrier for medical agents in the human body. Many modern active pharmaceutical ingredients have poor water solubility and strong lipophilic properties. As a result, the need for alternative dosage forms in order to apply these drugs appropriately is increasing. However, the dosage form can be improved by reducing the size of the drug particles, which results in fundamentally different biophysical properties compared to systems with macroparticles, and increases the specific surface area relevant for mass transfer.

The aim of this project is therefore developing the design and then fabricating the microchannel using etching methods like ICP dry etching and KOH wet etching, and then fabricating the electrodes on top of the channel. If you are interested in microsystem technology, this project will give you a great opportunity to gain experiences in that area.

The aim of this project is to optimize the parameter related to the ablation of PDMS and glass to fabricate a microchannel and at the end, find the threshold parameter in the fs-laser device which is located in IMT. In this project, one may work with a high-tech device, and gain a lot of information about micromachining and microfluidics.

The IMT is working on an open microbioreactor (MBR) in the project "Open capillary wave micro-reactor for biopharmaceutical screening applications". In this work, optical waveguides for measuring optical density in an MBR will be microfabricated and investigated using photolithograpy.

In this student project the task is to develop a platform which enables to use 9 reactors in parallel by using an axis system to move the reactor platform to the used sensors, which are by now optical sensor spots, read out by optical fibres and a liquid level control, achieved by triangulation measurements.

At the IMT, a piezoresistive pressure sensor based on different biocompatible materials is being developed as a long-term implant for cardiovascular measurements. In this thesis, novel thin film sensors made of gold will be fabricated and investigated for their suitability for cardiovascular measurements on biocompatible materials.

Am IMT wird im Projekt „ForMat-CARDIO“ ein piezoresistiver Drucksensor auf Basis unterschiedlicher biokompatibler Materialien als Langzeitimplantat für kardiovaskuläre Messungen entwickelt. Der Drucksensor basiert auf NTR (Nanogranularer Tunneling Resistor), die in einem 3D-Druck-Verfahren mittels im Elektronenmikroskop hergestellt werden. Die NTR können in einer Verschaltung als Wheatstone’sche Brücke kleinste Verformungen einer Membran detektieren, welches als Veränderung der Brückenspannung gemessen werden kann. Zur Steigerung der Sensitivität der Drucksensoren auf Basis von Titan sollen nun die Oberflächenqualität verbessert werden.

The role of electrogenic gut microorganisms in the human intestinal microbiome is not yet fully understood, and available screening methods today are time-consuming, have limited sample throughputs and low detection rates. Therefore, developing a micro-fabricated high-throughput bioelectrochemical flow cytometer detecting gut bacteria is needed.
The aim of this project is to extract the signal related to particles from the noisy signal with the help of a lock-in-amplifier. So a basic knowledge of electronic would be an advantage. The second step after the detection would be an impendence spectroscopy using the same device. During the time-period of this HiWi position you will work with pre-fabricated microfluidics system and the lock-in-amplifier to find the parameter which the goals can be obtained.

Biomedical research largely relies on culture of cells in standardized arrays of culture wells (e.g. 96-plate). The aim of this project is to design a robotic gantry system that can operate inside a cell culture incubator to measure metabolic function and dispense/exchange liquids from such culture plates. The goal is to use standard, low-cost components and provide an open-source design to make it accessible to academic laboratories worldwide.

This thesis deals with the fabrication of microfluidic channel with IP-Q photoresist in different shape and sizes. IP-Q photoresist is used for High-speed fabrication of millimetre-sized microfluidic chip using Nanoscribe’s high-precision 3D printing technology. The 3D printing of the channel system is achieved with a 2PP system equipped with a near infrared femtosecond laser source.

Oxidative and nitrosative stress are directly linked to a wide range of disorders, from Alzheimer’s to schizophrenia. A sensor to measure these stressors could find applications from point-of-care diagnostic aids (labs-on-chips) to functioning as a new research tool in miniaturized disease models (organs-on-chips). The aim of this project is to take a previously-developed optical assay based on a soluble chemical and develop it into a sensor platform by immobilizing or otherwise integrating this chemical compound into microfluidic devices.

This work is a part of the Homeo-Hirn project. It aims to develop Microelectrode array (MEA) for extracelluar neuro activity recording. The MEA is a fine chip mounted in a MEA head stage, which will be controlled through computer for action potential measurement and various data analyses. The student has to be good at AutoCAD so as to be able to implement the MEA design. It would be ideal if the student has already acquired some experience in micro- and nanofabrication.

Zur Charakterisierung des Drucksensors im Labor wird eine Auswertelektronik benötigt. Hier steht bereits ein erstes Funktionsmuster zur Verfügung, auf dessen Basis eine neue Generation weiterentwickelt werden soll.

Hi! We are MinkTec, a spin-off of the IMT and we want to be the very first company to find and successfully target the causes of non-specific back pain. Our unique sensor shirt is the first easy-to-use technology in the world to track the exact shape of the spine 24/7 and display a personalized 3D-avatar of the user in their mobile app. Using machine learning algorithms, we want to analyze motion patterns of back pain patients to find the causes of their pain. Our app provides tips and tricks for better posture as well as targeted vibration alerts and includes an individualized training plan that is covered by all German Health Insurances.
