Wang, Weizheng (author)Considering that the IoT is giving rise to new sensing infrastructures with stringent requirements, we are posed with new trade-offs. On one hand, there is a need to develop systems that have a low cost, complexity, and ecological footprint, while being privacy-aware. On the other hand, despite these constraints, there is a need to still...doctoral thesis 2024

Ławniczak, Aron (author)Coastal areas face increasing threat from erosion. The use of coastal protection structures is imperative to counter this. Concrete “armouring” is widely used due to durability and cost-effectiveness. Conventional methods of “armouring” result in habitat degradation and loss of biodiversity. ECOncrete developed Coastalock, an armour unit...master thesis 2024

Shirmohammadi, F. (author), Draganov, D.S. (author), Ghose, R. (author)Seismic interferometry (SI) retrieves the Green function between two receiver locations using their recordings from a boundary of sources. When using sources and receivers only at the surface, the virtual-source gathers retrieved by SI contain pseudo-physical reflections as well as ghost (non-physical) reflections. These ghost reflections are...journal article 2024

Locatelli, A. (author), Alvarez-Perez, Jose Luis (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author)Multi-path propagation over asphalt road surfaces at automotive radar frequencies is studied. A new expression for the reflection coefficient from asphalt which takes into account asphalt surface roughness is proposed. The classic two-ray method to take into account the multi-path is improved using antenna radiation patterns and the antenna tilt...conference paper 2024

(author), Manni, Francesca (author), Edström, Erik (author), Terander, Adrian Elmi (author)In brain tumor surgery, maximal tumor resection is typically desired. This is complicated by infiltrative tumor cells which cannot be visually distinguished from healthy brain tissue. Optical methods are an emerging field that can potentially revolutionize brain tumor surgery through intraoperative differentiation between healthy and tumor...review 2024
