Generative Temporal Models for Cosmology
(2018)In order to better understand the history of the universe and dark matter distributions, cosmologists run n-body simulations. Such simulations involve large amounts of points which can all effect each other. The computations are very expensive and evaluated at discrete points in time. In this project we come up with a novel model architecture within the generative adversarial network framework. The model is able to generate data for any ...Master Thesis -

Formamidinium lead mixed-halide perovskite by two step hybrid vacuum-solution deposition for photovoltaic applications
(2017)In the past few years, perovskite solar cells have caught the attention of the photovoltaic research community due to the fast progress achieved. Indeed, power conversion efficiencies have skyrocketed from 3.8% in 2009 to a current record of 22.1%. The outstanding optoelectronic properties in combination with a potentially low-cost production have made this technology a very promising candidate in the quest towards more efficient and lower ...Master Thesis -
Thermal and hydraulic modelling and optimization of thermal networks in districts in the CEA framework
(2018)To comply with global goals for a sustainable future, changes in the energy sector are necessary. One important area of focus is the heating and cooling demand in urban zones, with 20% of total energy consumed worldwide in buildings. Approximately 70% of the energy demand used for heating is based on fossil fuels. District heating and cooling are growing markets with a large potential for decreasing energy demand and carbon emissions. ...Master Thesis -

Partizipation bei Flussrevitalisierungen in der Schweiz
(2018)Participation might be a way to recreate legitimacy in democratic decision processes. For this thesis it is assumed, that participation can raise stakeholder satisfaction through better outcomes, a closer fit to local needs and more identification with the project. Which dimensions of participation (inclusivity, collaborativeness or authority) drive this increase was investigated with case studies of six medium-sized river-restoration ...Master Thesis -

Characterization of Heterogeneous Fractured Reservoirs Using Solute Tracer Tests: Application to the Underground Laboratory of Grimsel
(2018)As part of the Swiss Energy Strategy 2050, Switzerland has decided to make a transition from nuclear power plants to renewable energies and invest in the development of these alternatives. As a response to this energy strategy, a decametre-scale in-situ stimulation and circulation (ISC) experiment was set up to better investigate the challenges associated to deep geothermal reservoir creations and fill the gap between full scale and ...Master Thesis
