Master & Semester Projects

The EPFL+ECAL Lab regularly hosts students for their master or semester projects. All of the opportunities that we propose are linked to a real, ongoing design research project at the lab. The student is asked to apply theoretical knowledge from their domain to the real-world scenarios and practical applications introduced by the lab. This unique opportunity allows the student to become part of the EPFL+ECAL Lab team, collaborating with designers, engineers and psychologists on innovative topics.

Most of the offered semester projects can be rephrased for a master thesis and vice versa. Please contact us directly to discuss.
