Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have emerged as one of the most promising candidates for next-generation photovoltaic technology, achieving impressive power conversion efficiencies of more than 26 %. However, their widespread application is hindered by issues related to instability under real-world…

The project has two objectives: / Develop a novel diagnostic approach for lymphedema using microwave-based dynamic thermal imaging, specifically Active Microwave Thermography (AMT). / Design and fabricate polymer-based skin phantoms, perform microwave-stimulated thermal measurements, and analyze…

Inspired by neuroscience, this AI approach mimics how the brain builds internal world models through interaction. This shift from passive pattern recognition to active learning aims to create more efficient and transparent AI with a deeper, causal understanding, enabling true planning for next-gen…

This project develops a digital spatio-temporal MCDA tool integrating GIS, computational methods, and real-time data to support informed decisions. Case studies and stakeholder input will assess its effectiveness in managing dynamic, real-world challenges.

This project aims to provide cost transparency for healthcare properties by analysing and consolidating benchmarking data from hospitals.

The MANTA project is developing an innovative MEMS-based nano-mechanical-testing device that enables simultaneous 3-axis (X/Y/Z) force measurement with nanonewton sensitivity and MHz acquisition rates. This will enable advanced applications in semiconductor, pharmaceutical, and materials…

This project develops a design method for displacement-insensitive bevel gears. By optimizing the contact pattern and using additive manufacturing with tailored finishing, complex tooth shapes can be produced—independent of conventional processes—enabling broader application and improved gear…

Production of a pilot series of a modularised, cost-effective and retrofittable lift system for the home for people with disabilities.

An Examination of the Forms and Consequences of Corporate Sociopolitical Activism Against Anti-Democratic Populism in Europe.

Capture of Bio-data from the air to reveal hidden Dynamics of life, from biodiversity patterns to pests and pathoden risks, transforming invisible biological signals into actionable intelligence.

Neural translation systems are transforming multilingual communication – and increasingly also in spoken contexts. While this development is opening up new opportunities, it is also raising didactic questions for foreign language teaching. Which skills will be important in the future if AI can offer…

This project proposes an innovative approach to improve product quality through early detection of potential manufacturing defects that could lead to premature device failures. It is based development of machine learning models on manufacturing, testing, and field data.

The aim is to further develop and refine the concept as well as to prepare and implement a pilot project in Winterthur’s Old Town. The project focuses on supporting local retail, promoting sustainable mobility, and enhancing the attractiveness of the city center as a space for shopping and social…

The main goal of this research project is to conduct a comprehensive investigation into AI methodologies for Intrusion Detection Systems, with a strong emphasis on the identification of explainable AI (XAI) techniques that are most suitable for improving interpretability and doing an initial…

This research project is focused on development of an artificial intelligence-based method for optimizing the control functionality of Belimo's HVAC field devices in order to significantly reduce the energy consumption in buildings.

The ParticlePAT4Mills project intends to integrate real-time particle-size monitoring and control into wet-milling equipment. With those next generation wet-mills, grinding processes for solids will become more efficient in terms of cycle time, energy consumption and ultimately quality.          …
