Student Projects

Available Master’s End Projects (MEP) and Bachelor’s End Projects (BEP)

At the Rwei group, we foster an environment that welcomes enthusiastic and dedicated students seeking to undertake their MEP and BEP projects. We also welcome exchange students interested in conducting a research stay through programs such as Erasmus+. Being aware that these early career research experiences serve as stepping stones toward students’ future, we prioritize the growth and development of our students by contributing to meaningful research. Below, you’ll find information on the available research-focused MEP and BEP projects across our two primary research tracks.

 

If any of these opportunities sound interesting to you or you have your own idea that you want to develop, please do not hesitate to reach out via email to Dr. Alina Rwei with a clear statement of interest. Kindly indicate the project you would like to work on, along with your preferred timeline and any other pertinent details. We look forward to having you on board!

Precision Medicine with Externally-Triggerable Nanoparticles for Spatiotemporally-Controlled Drug Delivery

  1. Investigating the key design and activation parameters for ultrasound-triggerable drug delivery systems, with a focus on liposomes.
  2. Explore opportunities in closed-loop ultrasound-assisted imaging and triggerability.
  3. Developing in vitro and in vivo experimental platforms for ultrasound-induced release from liposomes.
  4. Molecular dynamics simulations for ultrasound-triggerable drug delivery systems
