My work revolves around the biological, chemical, political, cultural realities of aquatic environments. It explores humankind’s impact on other species and on the rights of non-human entities, while calling for strategies emphatic towards other species to be adopted. In my analysis of the theoretical framework of the Anthropocene, I use…

In a project funded by the Federal Foreign Office, our students designed a collection of board games. Each game transforms a different aspect of politics into a board game. All board games are available as Print-and-Play PDF versions, all source files are available under a Creative Commons license, for easy…

Air pollutants influence acute respiratory diseases. Personal exposure to particulate matter and trace gases is complex to investigate as the distribution of air pollutants can be heterogeneous. Official monitoring stations are sparse. Deployment of low-cost air quality sensors in a network of citizen scientists achieves physical closeness to the persons…

Mars Buttfield-Addison proposes modifying the ‘brains’ of telescopes to allow them to triangulate objects in the near field, thereby mitigating the risks that orbital debris puts on critical space-based infrastructure.

Cystic fibrosis remains one of the most common fatal genetic diseases, as well as the most common fatal hereditary lung disease worldwide. In recent years, medical scientists have made intensified attempts at understanding the disease mechanism at the core of cystic fibrosis, namely the defect in the CFTR protein. In…

During corrosion metallic surfaces release ions, they ‘escape’, so to say. In my project I proposed an organic coating which captures the released metal ions and converts them to a protective layer. Tags: Engineering, Mobility & Transportation, Corrosion Protection, Coating Technology.

Better medicines faster by automated design. The project integrates constructive artificial intelligence (AI) into the pharmaceutical drug development progress. The central theme is to transfer decision making from the human science manager to a machine intelligence that generates novel molecules with desired properties from scratch. We devise suitable algorithms and…

My project is about finding the protein aggregates as the pathophysiology of preeclampsia Tags: Health Science.
