Ammonia is the second most-produced chemical globally, most of which is used in the fertilizers industry. Currently, it is synthesized via the Haber-Bosch process operated at high temperature and pressure using a Fe-based catalyst, which contributes to the generation of 420 million tons of CO2 per year. Therefore, researchers worldwide are currently looking for inexpensive […]

Hydroelectric power units are more solicited today than in the past when they were usually operated at baseload. Because of this, their operating conditions include many starts and stops, and partial load conditions, resulting in premature and unpredictable failures. With a digital twin, these units can be properly monitored and accurately modeled in order to […]

Understanding pedestrian dynamics is crucial to the design of pedestrian facilities. Although pedestrian flows are part of everyday life, many basic characteristics of pedestrian dynamics cannot yet be described in detail. The aim of the PhD project is to study the upper body rotation of pedestrians when crossing a narrow passage (bottleneck). Since the movement […]

An individual’s voice is unique due to a combination of their physical and social characteristics. For children who present with complex communication needs (CCN), sometimes the only functional way to communicate is by using an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) device. AAC devices with speech output capability are known as voice output communication aids (VOCAs). […]
