The Digital Character AI team at ETH Zurich's Computer Graphics Laboratory is seeking a Student Research Assistant to support the development of interactive AI avatar platforms, focusing on lifelike digital humans powered by large language models, affective computing, speech technologies, and real-time rendering. The Digital Einstein project brings Albert Einstein to life as an interactive conversational agent, combining a Unity-based frontend with a Python-based backend for AI-driven dialogue and interaction.

Tasks

  • Develop and maintain the Unity frontend for the Digital Einstein platform, including UI components, interaction flows, character behaviours, and real-time rendering features.
  • Develop and maintain the Python/LLM backend for interactive conversations, including integration and evaluation of large language models and related AI services.
  • Test and improve the reliability, latency, and overall interaction quality of the system.
  • Provide on-site support at selected events and demonstrations.
  • Participate in weekly team meetings (1–2 hours) to discuss progress and plan next steps.

Requirements

  • Enrolled student at ETH Zurich or another Swiss university.
  • Strong programming skills and practical software-development experience.
  • Experience with Unity and C#.
  • Experience with Python.
  • Experience with or strong interest in large language models, including LLM APIs, prompting, agentic systems, or dialogue systems.
  • Reliable, proactive, and comfortable working independently as well as in a team.
  • Willingness to provide occasional on-site event support, including on weekends.
  • German language skills are a plus.

Benefits

  • Hands-on experience with a high-profile AI avatar platform showcased at international events such as the World Economic Forum and GITEX.
  • Exposure to a cutting-edge research environment spanning real-time graphics, large language models, and affective computing.
  • Regular 1-on-1 mentoring and weekly team meetings.
  • Collaborative, international team at ETH Zurich's Computer Graphics Laboratory.
