Echoing Swiss Coloniality. Land, Archive and Visuality between Brazil and Switzerland.
Informed by longstanding artistic practice, this doctoral thesis approaches entanglements of Swiss coloniality in Brazil and Switzerland under the lens of land, archive, and visuality. The enduring legacies of imperial capitalism in the former Colonia Leop ...
EPFL2024Spectral and thermodynamic properties of interacting electrons with dynamical functionals
Empowered by ever-increasing computational power and algorithmic developments, electronic-structure simulations continue to drive research and innovation in materials science. In this context, ab-initio calculations offer an unbiased platform for the under ...
EPFL2023Negative hydrogen ion dynamics inside the plasma volume of a linear device: Estimates from particle-in-cell calculations
Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Philippe Frédérique Bruno Guittienne, Rémy Jacquier, Riccardo Agnello
Negative hydrogen or deuterium ions are the precursor particles used to generate a high power beam of neutrals in order to heat the tokamak plasma core of magnetic fusion devices, inject current, and to some extent control instabilities. In the case of ITE ...
AIP Publishing2021Element location and classification following a damage event of a near-full-scale deployable tensegrity structure
Ian Smith, Ann Christine Sychterz
Current infrastructure is designed and built such that it must resistall possible loads. This leads to overdesigned structures that are inefficient in terms energy and cost. A structure that can self-identify damage, adapt, and learn for future events resu ...
2019First-Principles Photoemission Spectroscopy and Orbital Tomography in Molecules from Koopmans-Compliant Functionals
Nicola Marzari, Giovanni Borghi, Andrea Ferretti
The determination of spectral properties from first principles can provide powerful connections between microscopic theoretical predictions and experimental data, but requires complex electronic-structure formulations that fall outside the domain of applic ...
