The Land of a Thousand Dances is an interdisciplinary one-week workshop for architecture, civil engineering, and environmental sciences students at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). The course proposes to study design through maintenance, by ...
Can social, organisations and disciplinary values guide decisions when thinking about ethical challenges? With this presentation, I describe the ambivalence of decision-making when it comes to being a cause or a valuable resource for acting upon ethics cha ...
Risk management has become an essential element in the functioning of modern society. Correct risk identification and assessment are undoubtedly crucial to improving overall safety; nevertheless, often, it is accompanied by the wrong selection of correcti ...
Various interactions, time arrangements, and constraints exist for individuals scheduling their day as a member of a household, which affect their in-home as well as out-of-home activity schedule. However, the existing activity-based models are mostly base ...
With the increasing complexity of engineered systems, digital twins (DTs) have been widely used to support integrated modeling, simulation, and decision-making of the system of systems (SoS). However, when integrating DTs of each constituent system, it is ...
In the past years, deep convolutional neural networks have been pushing the frontier of face recognition (FR) techniques in both verification and identification scenarios. Despite the high accuracy, they are often criticized for lacking explainability. The ...
With the rising focus on academic safety, there has been an effort to improve the academic safety climate and develop lab-specific risk assessment tools. Despite the progress made in recent years, there is still a deficit of reliable data statistics on saf ...
The design of efficient energy systems, through the development of new technologies and the improvement of current ones, requires the use of rigorous process synthesis methods for generating and analysing design alternatives. We introduce a digital twin of ...
Research Summary: This article investigates venture capital (VC) decision-making, a process that occurs under changing conditions and limited, ambiguous information. We shed new light on the inherent dynamics of this strategic process. One of the key disti ...
One significant and simultaneously interesting problem in urban mobility has to do with the study of shared spaces where various categories of users coexist and act together. This paper aims to examine the behavior and preferences of pedestrians and cyclis ...
