ETH Student Summer Research Fellowship
The ETH Student Summer Research Fellowship (ETH SSRF) programme offers undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to gain their first research experience in an area of their choice. The fellowship provided by the Computer Science Department of ETH takes place during two summer months and is open to all students worldwide, except for students enrolled at ETH Zurich. The department is committed to increasing diversity in the computer science area.
Research opportunities are available in the following areas:
Marina, SSRF Student:
"My mentors gave me a chance to try out my own research ideas."
Gokul, SSRF Student:
"My peers were a major highlight of the fellowship."
Prof. Markus Püschel, Head of the ETH SSRF programme:
"We aim to offer students both a real research experience and an exciting time in our beautiful country."

Password managers less secure than promised
Researchers Matilda Backendal, Matteo Scarlata, Kenneth Paterson and Giovanni Torrisi from the Applied Cryptography Group at ETH Zurich have discovered serious security vulnerabilities in three popular, cloud-based password managers. During testing, they were able to view and even make changes to stored passwords.
From occluded frames to smooth motion: Siyu Tang’s group advances human motion reconstruction
The latest work from Professor Siyu Tang’s group at the Department of Computer Science presents MoRo, a masked modeling framework that learns to fill in missing motion information from monocular videos, delivering robust results where traditional methods fail.
Robots move into ML Hall
The renovated hall in the ML building is an architectural gem. Since July 2025, it has been home to the robotic excellence of the Center for Robotics at ETH Zurich and now hosts several research groups and labs, including those of Professors Stelian Coros and Marc Pollefeys. The space provides enhanced opportunities for training and collaboration among researchers.
