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...

Improved design of an existing benchmark to evaluate different data processing tools on scalable DataFrames; Implementation of new advanced features of the existing benchmark that allow the evaluation and analysis of trade-offs between performance and energy efficiency in distributed environments w...

With the growing relevance of distributed renewable energy sources (DRES) in the generation mix and the increasingly pro-active demand for electricity, power systems and their mode of operation need to evolve. The goal of the evolvDSO was to define future roles of distribution system operators (DSOs...

Water pollution is a severe worldwide problem that urgently requires development of novel sensing concepts allowing for monitoring contaminants at very low concentrations.The ambitious aim of the SAFE WATER project is to design, implement and validate a new portable optical instrument, for in situ a...
