MD, MSc, and PhD Students

Our lab welcomes MSc students for theses or research / semester projects.

Potential PhD students with extensive programming experience in machine learning and interest in the clinical neurosciences or medical imaging are encouraged to contact the lab.

We also have opportunities for UZH MD students for master or Dr. med. theses. Medical students interested in the clinical neurosciences will receive an introduction to machine learning and will work on a clinical problem. Excellent academic performance, technical affinity, and prior experience with programming and/or machine learning are advantageous when applying to the lab.

External Students

Students from abroad or from other institutions (not UZH / ETH) are encouraged to contact the lab for potential research internships or MSc / PhD projects.
