The following proposed master’s thesis subjects are all related to a research program where we will measure the acoustic properties of cells using a newly developed method called iso-acoustic focusing. This method enables label-free identification and subsequent isolation of cells from e.g. blood samples. This can for example be useful for continuous monitoring of disease progression in patients and can lead to dialysis-like treatments to selectively deplete target cells.

Each project addresses a technical challenge of reasonable complexity that can be worked out with different levels of refinement. The projects will require theoretical and practical work as well as computer based data analysis. You will work independently but with frequent interactions with the supervisor in the form of individual meetings as well as project meetings for the overall research project.
