PhD Position: Low Code & No Code software engineering for freezing of gait in Parkinson\'s disease 100%

School: School of Engineering Starting date: 1. February 2026 or earlier for 36 months Your role The PhD Position is fully funded by the Antifreeze project and the ZHAW School of Engineering. The PhD will be carried out over a period of 36 months under the advisory of Prof. Dr. Marcela Ruiz (ZHAW) and Prof. Dr. Robert Riener (ETH) . We look forward to welcoming a team player and enthusiastic PhD candidate to join our Antifreeze research team working on the assessment, evaluation, and creation of personalized interventions for freezing of gait in Parkinson\’s disease. Freezing of Gait is a frequent and debilitating condition in Parkinson\’s Disease, for which there is no proven therapeutic approach. The AntiFreeze project investigates the use of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) to assess, evaluate, and train strategies to avoid Freezing. Antifreeze also researches and develops low code and no code software engineering artefacts to enable clinicians to rapidly personalize interventions tailored to each patient. The successful candidate will work on the frontiers of software engineering by researching, designing and implementing novel low code
