Development of an innovative hydrogel microbial material for removing nutrients and pollutants from wastewater inclusive validation.

PROFOREST-DSS develops a free, web-based decision-support system combining ForClim simulations and ProMCDA to transparently assess trade-offs, risks, and adaptive forest management options under climate change.

ADEPT (Adaptive Dimensionality-Reduced Encryption Protocol for Time-Series Sensors) investigates privacy-preserving encryption methodology for resource-constrained IoT devices by replacing computationally expensive fully homomorphic encryption with lightweight dimensionality reduction techniques…

The project analyzes complaints received by the Independent Complaints Office for the Elderly (UBA) and examines patterns of intervention and barriers to access with the aim of contributing to the further development of the services offered by the Independent Complaints Office for the Elderly.

Sustainable hydrogels from polyester waste efficiently remove emerging contaminants like PFAS, microplastics and pharmaceuticals from wastewater.

Pulmonary artery stenosis is a neonatal condition often linked to congenital heart disease. Patch augmentation may induce collapse through a lack of structural mechanical and fluid mechanical compatibility between patch and native tissue. This project analyzes pericardial microstructure and…

The primary objective of the SePRIO project is to investigate and integrate security and privacy into distributed learning techniques, with a focus on health use cases involving IoT, and to analyze the limitations and trade-offs. The project will lead to an open-source software asset,…

The Living Lab develops and pilots an interdepartmental sustainability module in which students from Social Work, Architecture, and Environmental Sciences work together on real-world challenges and learn to address complex issues through the integration of diverse perspectives.

The project develops and evaluates large-scale underground thermal energy storage concepts in St. Gallen – Hybrid Tank‑Borehole and Cavern storage – to integrate low‑carbon heat into district heating networks and enable scalable, replicable UTES solutions for Switzerland.

OrthoSense by Leg&airy revolutionizes ankle-foot orthotics by turning subjective brace fitting into data-driven care. Embedded sensors capture pressure data, enabling AI driven biomechanical algorithms to tailor each brace’s shape and fit to the individual patient while enabling patients tracking.

The Development of a novel trunk stability test for the dynamic assessment of the movement control in a sedentary posture

Balance meets technology: On an interactive balance board, users control a game field by shifting their weight and guide a ball to the target. The game demonstrates in a clear and playful way how balance, coordination, and body control can be trained.

Project objectives and goals: / Demonstrate that time synchronization according to IEEE 802.1AS can be implemented successfully on Lattice’s FPGA products with RISC-V core and 1000BASE-T1 Ethernet. InES-gPTP2020, ZHAW’s implementation of IEEE 802.1AS-2020, will be ported and integrated to the…

MYCO-MAT is a biodegradable, mulch mat made from regionally abundant reed grass and bound by fungal mycelium. It is enriched with saprophytic fungi that support soil health. Designed for fragmented urban farming plots, community gardens, green infrastructure, and viticulture, it offers a practical…

Improving the reliability and performance of photovoltaic-(PV)-systems. Analysis and technical evaluation of degradation and failure mechanisms in PV systems.

This project aims to systematically investigate and mitigate the effects of partial shading, bridging the gap between cell-level behavior and system-level performance.
