Open Hardware for the plate-deposition of microfluidic droplets
The sorting of microfluidic droplets allows the experimental handling of millions of molecular biology experiments in a day. If cells in droplets are to be further cultivated, it is necessary to collect and individualise them, which can be done in a well-plate or on a rotating round culture plate. In this project, the aim is to develop such a droplet deposition system using prototyping methods, literature examples, and open source hardware.

Development of an open hardware based wide field computational microscope for pollen recognition
Development of a working low-cost computational wide-field microscope for honey-pollen imaging (remotely at home) and analysis of generated data with MatLab or Python. A 3D printed prototype already exsists based on the publication 'Low-cost, sub-micron resolution, wide-field computational microscopy using opensource hardware’. Students should already have basic experience with prototyping and coding.

Generation of multi-colour 3d printable models of bacterial pumps for antibiotic resistance
This is a remote research project to generate good 3d printable models from protein structures in biological databases of the cell-membrane pumps that cause antibiotic resistances in bacteria. In addition to improving the 3d printability of the protein complexes, the quaternary structure of the proteins should also be used to segment the model into up to 4 materials (different colours for 3d prints), which help to understand the function of the pumps. Basic experience in 3d printing and interest to find solutions to problems independently is a requirement.
