Modeling Choice in Co-Design
(2021)This report describes a method for modeling free and forced choice within Co-Design. In a free choice among a set, one has control over which option is selected, while in a forced choice one does not. Given a preorder P describing resources or functionalities, a free choice among a subset of P acts like a meet. Dually, a forced choice acts like a join. Moreover, the two types of choice distribute over one another. Based on this, we construct ...Student Paper -

Instrumente für eine wirksame und effiziente Klima- und Energiepolitik
(2019)Swiss Academies FactsheetsDerzeit werden im politischen Prozess der Schweiz die Weichen für die zukünftige Klima- und Energiepolitik gestellt. Die Schweiz will aus der Kernenergie aussteigen und gleichzeitig die Treibhausgasemissionen mindern. Dazu braucht es eine koordinierte und breit abgestützte Klima- und Energiepolitik mit einem wirksamen und effizienten Mix aus politischen Instrumenten wie beispielsweise Lenkungsabgaben oder Emissionsgrenzwerten. Dieses ...Other Publication -
Chancen und Auswirkungen einer CO2-Lenkungsabgabe auf Treibstoffe
(2019)Swiss Academies FactsheetsEine CO2-Lenkungsabgabe auf Treibstoffe ist ein marktwirtschaftliches Politikinstrument zur Minderung der CO2-Emissionen. Sie stärkt das Verursacherprinzip im Hinblick auf die Kosten durch Umweltauswirkungen des Verkehrs. Sie ist volkswirtschaftlich sinnvoll, da die Massnahmen vorzugsweise dort ergriffen werden, wo sie am günstigsten sind. Und sie ist im Falle einer Rückerstattung der Einnahmen an die Bevölkerung auch sozialverträglich: ...Other Publication -

Plant breeding - from cross breeding to genome editing
(2020)Swiss Academies FactsheetsClimate change, emerging pests and scarce resources – sustainable production of sufficient food of high quality requires plant varieties to be continuously adapted to current and future production systems. Regardless of the crop, the basic principle of plant breeding always remains the same: it is based on genetic diversity, which either arose naturally or was created by humans using various methods. The resulting plants are then characterised ...Other Publication -
Proboscis search & rescue. Worm-like Softrobot for Search and Rescue Missions
(2018)Even though earthquakes are older than mankind, rescue equipment is still quite rudimentary. Currently, buried victims can be located with dogs or drones, but to reach them, large amounts of debris and other obstacles have to be removed carefully. This can take several days as heavy machinery and a lot of manpower is required. The goal of Focus Project Proboscis is to shortcut the rescue process and work on a physical solution to ...Student Paper
