Engineering

This class focuses primarily on climate change and possible solutions such as systems for carbon removal and other types of fuels. It covers several topics including air pollution, gas emissions trends and sources, the integration of renewable energy systems, economics of climate change, and policies relating to climate change. The class explores how Germany and Europe could move towards net zero gas emissions, as well as any future likely scenarios and perspectives.

This course provides a foundation for the two interrelated subjects of quality and maintenance. The course uses three different perspectives, where we start with the interrelation in-between customers´ needs and the enterprise's capability to develop new products. The course continues with the ability to use existing resources aimed at manufacturing products and finalize with the perspective of the user’s view on the product.

This course introduces the techniques and possibilities in modern experimental mechanics for the characterization of the mechanics of solid, porous, and granular materials using a range of physics techniques and full-field analyses. The course pays particular attention to full-field analyses using optical methods (with a focus on digital image correlation), x-ray and neutron imaging and scattering approaches, and wave propagation. The course includes both theoretical and practical parts, and involves study visits to MAX IV and ESS. Inverse analyses and digital image/signal processing in the context of experimental analyses are also covered.

This course offers a study of the mechanism of radiation and propagation of electromagnetic waves both in free space as well as in a guided medium.

Requirements: Calculus I, Calculus II, Linear Algebra, Physics.

The course is part of the Laurea Magistrale program and is intended for advanced level students. Enrolment is by consent of the instructor. The course focuses on the roles of microbial populations in natural and contaminated habitats and the main microbial and technological aspects related the conduction and optimization of the prominent environmental biotechnological processes currently applied in the remediation of industrial wastewaters, sediments, and sites contaminated with xenobiotic compounds. The course includes class lectures, as a series of seminars, and optional laboratory training.
