E-Cargo Bikes as a Personal Transport Mode in the UK: Insights from National Surveys and Suburban Trials
(2025)PreprintsThis paper explores the potential of e-cargo bikes as a personal transport mode in the UK, reporting on a series of surveys and trials. Our survey of 2,000 English adults indicated that while only 3% of adults were using an e-cargo bike at least once a month, 11% of non-users saw themselves as someone who might ride an e-cargo bike, rising to 20% in places with a strong cycling culture. Compared to non-users, e-cargo-bike users had similar ...Working Paper -

Mode-choice modelling of a sustainable mobility transition considering different bicycle types
(2025)Arbeitsberichte Verkehrs- und RaumplanungThis paper investigates the mode-shift potentials of a road-space reallocation policy with the goal of reducing car-use with the goals of improving liveability and reducing transport related emissions in urban areas. We show the mode-choice effects of repurposing 46% of road surface area from cars to bicycles, e-bikes (25 km/h) and s-pedelecs (45 km/h) as well as internalizing external transport costs in Zurich, Switzerland. The preferences ...Working Paper -
Investigating the relationship between internal spinal alignment and back shape in patients with scoliosis using PCdare: a comparative, reliability and validation study
(2025)medRxivOptical 3D surface scanning has emerged as a valuable modality for assessing spinal deformity in patients with scoliosis, avoiding radiation exposure. However, correlations remain moderate between deformation parameters obtained from radiographs and those estimated solely from the 3D back surface, referred to as the “back-shape-to-spine” approach. To improve the accuracy with which the back-shape-to-spine approach can estimate the internal ...Working Paper -
Estimation of spin-orbit torques in the presence of current-induced magnon creation and annihilation
(2024)arXivWe present a comprehensive set of harmonic resistance measurements of the dampinglike (DL) and fieldlike (FL) torques in Pt/CoFeB, Pt/Co, W/CoFeB, W/Co, and YIG/Pt bilayers complemented by measurements of the DL torque using the magneto-optical Kerr effect and calibrated by nitrogen vacancy magnetometry on the same devices. The magnon creation-annihilation magnetoresistances depend strongly on temperature and on the magnetic and transport ...Working Paper -
Glacier-Atmosphere Interactions and Feedbacks in High-Mountain Regions - A Review
(2025)ESS Open ArchiveMountain glaciers are among the most vulnerable natural systems to climate change. However, their interactions with the atmosphere are complex and not fully understood. These interactions can trigger rapid adjustments and climate feedbacks that either amplify or attenuate atmospheric signals, influencing both glacier response and large-scale atmospheric circulation. Observing this functional coupling in nature is challenging because the ...Working Paper -
Micro-Meteorological Impact of Glacier Retreat and Proglacial Lake Temperature in Western Norway
(2024)ESS Open ArchiveGlaciers are retreating worldwide, yet, little is known about the influence of these changes on local weather and climate in glacial landscapes. Changes in glacier extent and proglacial lakes alter the thermodynamic forcing in glacier-lake-valley systems that may be of similar or greater importance for future microclimate than direct effects of global warming. To study the impact of these changes, we combine the first set of high-density ...Working Paper -
KI in der Wärmepumpenberatung
(2024)Wärmepumpen sind in der Schweiz die aktuell meistverkaufte Wärmequelle und bereits in rund 20% der Gebäude installiert. Wärmepumpen reduzieren den Verbrauch fossiler Energieträger, erhöhen aber den Bedarf an elektrischer Energie. Entsprechend wichtig ist ein effizienter Betrieb der Geräte nicht nur auf dem Prüfstand, sondern auch in der Praxis – und dies auch noch viele Jahre nach der Installation. Für Installateure stellen die Auslegung ...Report
