New Master's Thesis: Investigation of Light Scattering in the Cochlea

We are offering an exciting Master’s thesis on the investigation of light scattering distributions in an enlarged 3D model of the human cochlea. Optical cochlear implants use light as a stimulus instead of electrical signals, providing a promising approach for restoring hearing. The goal of this thesis is to systematically measure light scattering in 3D-printed cochlear models to better understand scattering behavior and derive optimization strategies for future implants.
