Bremen, Deutschland Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Vollzeit

Fraunhofer MEVIS is a world leading research and development center driving the digital transformation of medicine. We pursue a patient-centered approach tailored to clinical processes to solve important questions in precision diagnosis and therapy.

**What you will do**

Motion Capture Systems based on Inertial Measurements Units (IMUs) can measure the orientation of the human bodies joints. These systems are widely used in posture analysis, film shooting and clinical assessment of the motion. Human joints like the knee are no ideal rotational joints, but also allow translations. The translational movements are valuable for clinicians to diagnose and rate injuries of the joint.

In this thesis, we aim for a joint model to estimate rotational and translational motion of simple joints based on IMU measurements. It will be a step towards quantitative assessment of joint injuries.

**What you bring to the table**
- Student of Computer Science, Systems Engineering, Medical Engineering, Math, or similar field of study
- Experience with programming in C++, Python or Matlab
- Knowledge of mathematical modelling and stochastics
- Optional: Experience with IMUs or Pose Estimation

**What you can expect**
- a friendly working environment close to the University of Bremen
- self-determined work and the freedom to create new tasks
- work within an young and interdisciplinary team of software developers and image processing researchers
- ideal conditions for pracitcal experience alongside your studies
- interesting and innovative projects

With its focus on developing key technologies that are vital for the future and enabling the commercial utilization of this work by business and industry, Fraunhofer plays a central role in the innovation process. As a pioneer and catalyst for groundbreaking developments and scientific excellence, Fraunhofer helps shape society now and in the future.

Applications are possible in German or English. Please include a cover letter, your CV and your latest transcript of records.
