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.

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…

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

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…

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.          …

Automation of software processes to secure and expand markets and increase efficiency analyses the feasibility of automating processes in existing software systems.

Overall Objective: To reconceptualize writing pedagogy in higher education by investigating the evolving relationship between writing and thinking in the context of generative AI.

The project investigates the feasibility of AI-supported conversation simulations in XR for professional communication training. The innovative focus is on capturing and evaluating para- and nonverbal communication signals.

This collaboration between abc biopply, ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences, and University of Zurich aims to advance drug development by introducing a novel 3D CoSeedis Immuno-Micro-Tumor System. The new system will encompass heterotypic cancer organoids, consisting of cancer, stromal and…

The aim of the project EnablEd is to develop an empowerment model for school leaders that supports self-determined digital school development. In doing so, the project provides a practice-oriented contribution to school development in times of digital transformation and responds to ongoing…

The AssisT project, commissioned by the City of Zurich, investigates how digital assistive technologies can enable older adults to live independently in their own homes for longer. With its Ageing Strategy 2035, the City of Zurich aims to make this possible.

Switzerland is positioning itself as an early adopter in nutrient recovery and sustainable wastewater management. By 2026, legislation mandates phosphorus recovery from wastewater or sewage sludge, aiming to reduce dependency on imported fertilizers and preserve finite phosphate resource. In…

This project develops an evidence-based policy brief on the use of poppers (alkyl nitrites) in Switzerland in an international context. It analyses regulation, health risks, and provides recommendations for harm reduction and public health strategies.

Most areas of rural Lebanon suffer from inadequate wastewater management and corresponding investments. Current practices drive health issues and lead to vast amounts of greenhouse gases. The proposed project will pilot the application of pyrolysis on locally collected dry sludge in Lebanon to…

Many office buildings still rely on inefficient fossil-fuel heating and separate air conditioning systems. This project compares three integrated heating and cooling systems using different refrigerants to identify the most efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective solution for decarbonization.

SBES's HyFlexGT burner can quickly adapt to various gas turbine models for hydrogen combustion. A versatile thermoacoustic model is needed to predict the behavior of the different burner versions, enabling efficient scaling.
