The Comfort of Urban Cores: Understanding the Development, Qualities and Livability of Altstetten
(2017)Altstetten is one of the most rapily changing districts in the city of Zürich. Being crucial to Zürich’s future development, Altstetten’s spatial development as well as perception are of great interest. It offers a wide variety of characteristics, from a work-driven office district to a calm living area and busy industrial areas turning into lively mixed-used residential zones. During a short-term study during the summer of 2017 we ...Student Paper -

3D-Printed Inflatable Actuators
(2019)Designing soft inflatable actuators is not a trivial task due to the coupling between their function and their mechanical design. Hence, in order to realize a functional design, numerous design parameters and their interdependencies have to be studied. As a result, the design process is often both tedious and ambiguous as there is no well-defined approach to guide it. In this semester project, 3D-printed inflatable actuators were designed, ...Student Paper -

Optimizing Deep-stall Landing Maneuvers on Small Fixed-wing UAVs
(2019)The increasing importance of UAVs in today’s world is undisputed. However, fixedwing UAVs are often marginalized. This marginalization is often caused by the difficulties landing them. Landing in deep-stall is an approach to deal with this issue. It allows landing at steep flightpath angles and at low horizontal speed, thanks to massively increased drag and reduced lift. This is possible without needing any additional tools like ...Student Paper
