The primary objective of the e-LOG project is to create a methodology to assess the environmental impacts of different retail strategies, taking into consideration the origin, mode of transport and the destination of products. The research will be focused on transport in a strict sense. The estimate...

My main work includes developing integrated solutions towards optimization of femto-etching, direct writing and micromachining using femtosecond based mechanisms which will enable the fabrication of the next-generation compact-size, low-power and intelligent sensing devices. In parallel tasks ass...

The production of biomass in a sustainable way is increasingly a necessity to meet current needs. In this project it is intended to make an optimal production of algae using a water circuit from fish aquaculture. This production optimization will have real-time monitoring with specific sensors and a...
