From plans to practice: transformative gender-in-teaching training programs through GEPs in higher education
(2025-06-09)
Article
Open AccessUniversities play a crucial role in advancing gender equality by implementing gender equality plans (GEPs). A key element of these plans is gender-in-teaching training for educators, which equips them to integrate gender ... -
Emissivity and reflectivity measurements for passive radiative cooling technologies
(Springer, 2025-05-01)
Article
Open AccessDue to their optical properties, passive radiative cooling (PRC) materials can effectively reflect solar radiation while simultaneously dissipating heat through the infrared transparency windows using outer space as a cold ... -
Numerical study of high-temperature, disk-based tungsten and molybdenum thermophotovoltaic selective thermal emitters
(Optical Society of American (OSA), 2025-02-24)
Article
Open AccessThis work investigates the design of two-dimensional metal-disk-based selective thermal emitters (STEs) for thermophotovoltaic (TPV) applications. A parametric analysis is conducted to study the effect of geometrical ... -
Numerical study of sodalime and PDMS hemisphere photonic structures for radiative cooling of silicon solar cells
(Optical Society of American (OSA), 2022-08-29)
Article
Open AccessThis paper numerically explores the capability of an all-photonic approach to enhance radiative cooling, UV and sub-bandgap reflection, and light trapping as a path to improve solar cells efficiency. The structure is based ... -
Giant injection-locking bandwidth of a self-pulsing limit-cycle in an optomechanical cavity
(Springer, 2022-12-17)
Article
Open AccessLocking of oscillators to ultra-stable external sources is of paramount importance for improving close-to-carrier phase noise in free running oscillators. In most of them, such as Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems or LC ... -
Excitation and detection of acoustic phonons in nanoscale systems
(2022-09-09)
Article
Open AccessPhonons play a key role in the physical properties of materials, and have long been a topic of study in physics. While the effects of phonons had historically been considered to be a hindrance, modern research has shown ... -
Highly-scattering cellulose-based films for radiative cooling
(John Wiley & sons, 2022-03)
Article
Open AccessPassive radiative cooling (RC) enables the cooling of objects below ambient temperature during daytime without consuming energy, promising to be a game changer in terms of energy savings and CO2 reduction. However, so far ... -
Strong cavity-optomechanical transduction of nanopillar motion
(2024-09-03)
Article
Open AccessNanomechanical resonators can serve as ultrasensitive, miniaturized force probes. While vertical structures such as nanopillars are ideal for this purpose, transducing their motion is challenging. Pillar-based photonic ... -

Probabilistic and physically-based modelling of rainfall-induced landslide susceptibility using integrated GIS-FORM algorithm
(Springer, 2024-06)
Article
Open AccessThe susceptibility mapping of rainfall-induced landslides is an effective tool for predicting and locating disaster-prone zones at the regional scale. One of the most important parts of landslide susceptibility models is ... -
Fast physically-based probabilistic modelling of rainfall-induced shallow landslide susceptibility at the regional scale considering geotechnical uncertainties and different hydrological conditions
(Elsevier, 2024-08)
Article
Open AccessThe inherent uncertainty in hydro-geotechnical parameters presents a significant challenge for accurately predicting rainfall-triggered shallow landslides in mountainous regions. In this study, a novel probabilistic framework ...
