There is currently a big craze in 3D printing, a transformative technology that will most likely change the way we fabricate a plethora of products, ranging from toys to complex aircraft components. The research project addresses the entire span of high-end printing applications, ranging from material design to the fabrication process. On the material side, […]

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the 5th most common cancer worldwide with 500,000 new cases per year and the highest mortality rate (>97% in 5 yrs). Intravenous chemotherapy is limited and clinical outcomes are generally poor with a median survival rate of less than one year. Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is an image guided interventional oncology […]

In this ongoing research project we are interested in collecting data at the pedestrian facility level (e.g. train station, outdoor festival area) using automated techniques. This means that the data gathering process should be able to know where a particular pedestrian entered, what activities they performed, and where they exited the system. We need a […]

With the increasing usage of composite in civil aviation, the industry is looking for affordable manufacturing techniques to produce high quality structural components. To achieve this goal, one approach is to use automatized textile techniques to quickly assemble fibre architectures tailored to the application. In this project, braiding is used to construct fuselage frame fibre […]

Introduction: Medical simulation is a rapidly growing field, having a positive impact on how healthcare providers are being trained and evaluated. Over the last ten years, there has been a 15-fold increase in the number of medical simulation centres (1400 worldwide today). Surgical simulation allows training outside the operating room (OR), thereby minimizing patient risk, […]

With the steady production of 3D movies, there is an increased availability of 3D stereoscopic video content, paving the way for the deployment of 3DTV to the general consumer market. Auto-stereoscopic displays, those that produce 3D without the need to wear glasses, are a viable technology for the home environment and are obtaining a lot […]

Ultrasound imaging is an ideal tool for studying the tongue motions involved in speech as it provides very rich information while being relatively inexpensive and non invasive. Its use has thus become widespread among speech scientists. The analysis of ultrasound video sequences of the moving tongue poses a number of challenges pertaining to the reliable […]

RFIC PA (RF Integrated Circuit Power Amplifier) designers often face the difficult challenge of bridging the gap between simulation data and experimental results, which negatively impacts the design convergence and time-to-market considerations during the development of complex amplifier structures. This is particularly severe when dealing with nonlinear circuit techniques during the practical development phase. Design […]

Project description: The selected interns will work with graduate students on developing novel methods to analyze functional and structural brain connectivity. Two applications are considered for this project: brain fiber clustering and dynamic functional connectivity analysis. For the first application, recent machine learning techniques, based on dictionary learning, will be used to group the white […]

The objectives of the proposed research projet are: • To design a cold asphalt mix that contains as much recycled materials as possible but that behaves like a hot mix asphalt (HMA) o Reclaimed asphalt pavement, recycled shingles and recycled tires will be used • To evaluate the rutting resistance, complex modulus, fatigue resistance and […]

Research on fluid simulation is ongoing at the Multimedia Lab of ÉTS, currently focusing on SPH liquid simulation. Fluid simulation requires lengthy computation times and should allow some artistic control. Parallel computation approaches are promising for reducing the computation times. Examples of such approaches include the works of Zhang et al. [Y Zhang, B Solenthaler, […]

Organometallic reactions are important in organic synthesis and are versatile in creating new C-C bonds. In the past decade, late-transition-metal catalysis has gained increasing attention culminating in the 2010 Nobel Prize in Chemistry award for three seminal palladium catalyzed reactions. However, the commodity metal nickel is more economical and desirable than the other d10 elements, […]
