We are pleased to announce the next lecture in the series "Trends Under Review"! Join us on 20 November for the keynote & panel discussion on the topic “Empowering minds: Introducing citizen science”, with keynote speaker Dr Susanne Hecker from Museum für Naturkunde Berlin. They keynote will be followed by a panel discussion on the topic, featuring Serge Haan (moderator); Susanne Hecker (keynote speaker); Joëlla van Donkersgoed; Sandrine Lavallé; Jean-Baptiste Burnet; Cyrille Médard de Chardon. https://lnkd.in/edPQ5Vr5 The Trends Under Review series is more than just a set of lectures; it’s a dynamic forum for discussing the latest trends in science and research. We invite international experts to share their insights on diverse topics like open science, research culture, and science communication.

2024 FNR Award for Outstanding Scientific Achievement: A team around Eleni Koronaki have optimised the technique chemical vapour deposition by developing a hybrid model that combines mathematical equations and machine learning, thereby reducing costs as well as enhancing quality control and sensor placement. Next to Eleni Koronaki, the award was awarded to: Stéphane P.A. Bordas (FLSW);Paris Papavasileiou; Geremy L.; Martin Kathrein; Christoph Czettl; Gabriele POZZETTI; Ralph Useldinger (University of Luxembourg & CERATIZIT) Discover all winners & photos from the evening on: https://lnkd.in/ey4XXyX8 Videos by Moast Creative Studio

As the FNR marks 25 years since its creation, we highlight 25 examples of FNR-supported research with impact. Since arriving in Luxembourg in 2012, gea guerriero has worked closely with academic and industrial partners to research how plants, such as cannabis, can be used as renewable resources, also taking a molecular-level look at multipurpose crops. The research has wide potential for applications, such as in cosmetics, nutraceutics and pharmaceutics.

2024 FNR Award for Outstanding PhD Thesis: Mila Hall, who completed her AFR PhD at Universität Osnabrück, won an FNR Award for her thesis - she developed a system that generates a unique network model for each patient, feedback which therapists can use to confirm their perspectives, set therapy priorities, or discuss directly with patients.

🌟 Exciting News! 🌟 We are thrilled to share that Dr. Eleni Koronaki and her team of computational scientists from the University of Luxembourg, in collaboration with the Data & AI team and R&D experts at CERATIZIT, have been honoured with the prestigious FNR Award for Outstanding Scientific Achievement! Kudos to Eleni, Stéphane P.A. Bordas (FLSW), Paris Papavasileiou, Geremy L., Marthin Kathrein, Christoph Czettl, Gabriele POZZETTI, and Ralph Useldinger! A special thanks goes to Laurent FEDERSPIEL's Data & AI team, who made the project possible on our side in the first place. 🎬 Learn more about the project: https://lnkd.in/eTkmfznx Their groundbreaking collaborative project, “Revolutionizing Industrial Processes: Hybrid Computational Models for Quality Control, Prediction, and Optimization”, focuses on optimizing chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes, which are crucial for creating ultra-thin coatings used not only for our cutting tools, but also in electronics, medical devices, aviation, and solar panels. 🔍 Key Highlights: • Cost efficiency: By combining equation-based methods with machine learning, the team has significantly improved quality control, reducing the need for measurements by two-thirds. This innovative hybrid model makes the process more cost-effective and easier to implement. • Enhanced Sensor Placement: The model optimizes sensor placement in the vacuum chamber and designs “soft” sensors, allowing us to measure tangible metrics like the thickness of a coating and infer more complex ones like information on the underlying chemical processes. • Addressing Uncertainties: The method quantifies intrinsic uncertainties in reactor design, tackling challenges posed by complex geometries and unknowns.
