AI-based shape generation and registration for dental restorations

This project aims to advance the development of a 3D shape generation software that uses generative adversarial networks to design dental crowns. A current prototype version of the software has been developed that allows generating dental restorations represented as point clouds. While currently generated shapes are coherent with the overall generation context of the crown, […]

LCA methodology for assessing the impacts of microfibers on marine ecosystem quality and application in a case study of activewear

In the proposed project, the intern will do a thorough environmental assessment of different activewear textiles. The methodology used is called life cycle assessment, and allows quantifying various environmental impacts (e.g. climate change, water use, impacts of toxic chemicals) among the entire supply chain (resource extraction, textile and cloth production, transportation, retail, consumer use of […]
