PhD – Horizon Europe – Switzerland

Job Functions

Develop new 3D casting techniques for non-photocurable biodegradable polymers, integrate magnetic structures for efficient manipulation, and optimize biodegradability while maintaining robust robotic performance.

Expected Results:

Establish new 3D casting protocols, create functional micro/nanorobot prototypes with integrated magnetic elements, and evaluate their mechanical strength, magnetic responsiveness, and biodegradation profiles.
