Design of a Scalable Software Platform for Managing Large Energy System Models

This internship project, undertaken by two interns working in parallel, focuses on the continued development of a scalable software platform to support large-scale 4E (energy-electricity-economy-environment) system modelling. The project addresses a critical transition from reliance on semi-manual and spreadsheet-based workflows toward a proprietary, database-driven infrastructure that enables automation, reproducibility, and improved performance. Interns will contribute […]

Developing EELS Methodologies for the Characterization of Next-Generation Plasmonic Materials

Localized surface plasmon resonance underpins numerous applications, including plasmonic sensing, energy conversion, and cancer therapy. However, understanding how structural and compositional factors govern plasmonic resonances in increasingly complex sample architectures is challenging. Electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is a powerful method for probing electronic characteristics of plasmonic materials at the […]

Good Life Coherence and Psychological Need Satisfaction in Trieste, Italy: A Cross-Cultural Study of Motivation and Well-Being

This project examines student mental health using Self-Determination Theory, a well-established psychological framework, to understand how well-being and distress are shaped not only by individual experiences but also by students’ social and cultural environments. By conducting an analogous study with university students in Trieste, Italy and Montreal, Canada, the project will compare how basic psychological […]

Comparing Canadian and British Responses to Election Cyber Threats

Cyber threats targeting democratic elections have escalated globally, manifesting as informational attacks (misinformation, disinformation) and technical attacks (hacking, data breaches). While governments recognize the need for comprehensive responses encompassing legislative, policy, and administrative measures, existing research focuses narrowly on national-level analysis or single response types, limiting identification of best practices. This proposal offers a comparative […]
