We offer students Master's and BSc theses and internships at our center. Depending on the background and research interests, there is a wide range of projects.
Biophotonics
BSc and MSc students are cordially invited to explore our research topics on our homepage.
We offer work topics from a wide range of different modern optical imaging methods in biomedical optics, as well as from the field of image and signal processing. Depending on your interest and background, the focus can either be more on experimental work, mechanics or electronics design, application of existing systems in clinics and pre-clinics, or on work on the computer. If you like a topic, send a copy of your curriculum vitae and a short letter of motivation to the head of the relevant research group.
Refractive Index Reconstruction based on OCT
Description
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a powerful 3D imaging technique for visualizing living and ex vivo tissue. However, OCT can do more than simply imaging a sample in depth. Functional OCT extensions allow the quantification of, for example, stiffness, blood flow or the refractive index.
In this master’s thesis project, you implement a refractive index (RI) quantification algorithm. You will apply this algorithm to images from test samples such as in vivo human skin, phantoms and cultured cells, which you will acquire using a prototype OCT device at the Medical University of Vienna.
Required
As this is a programming-heavy master’s thesis, we expect:
- Good skills in Python and/or MATLAB
- Experience with GPU coding (a bonus)
- Enthusiasm to contribute to scientific and technological progress
We offer
- First-hand experience in medical imaging research
- The opportunity to apply your skills to a specific task with tangible results
- Opportunities to connect with other research groups at the Center for Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering

Neuroprosthetics and Rehabilitation Engineering
In the field of Neuroprosthetics and Rehabilitation Engineering experts with technological and medical background work closely together. We invite BSc and MSc students from technical and medical universities with knowledge of the areas of measurement technology, mechanics, electronics, software development, and medicine who are interested in participating in our ongoing projects to contact us.
Quantitative Imaging and Medical Physics
The QIMP Team is open to continuously hosting students at BSc and MSc level to scientifically engage in cutting-edge research projects. Currently we focus on quantitative molecular imaging (incl. hybrid PET/CT, PET/MR and SPECT/CT), data analytics and AI-driven analysis of imaging and non-imaging data. If you would like to join our team, kindly send a statement of interest along with a copy of your CV to Thomas Beyer. We will respond to all serious inquiries.
Magnetic Resonance
In the MR group there are possibilities to work on exciting research projects frequently avaiable as BSc. or MSc. student. Topics range from hardware development, MR imaging and spectroscopy and their applications in the brain, heart, kidneys or skeletal muscle. Take a look at our research topics and don’t hesitate to contact the MR-groups.
