    Master thesis
    Restricted access - confidentiality agreement
    Covenantee:   Universitat de Barcelona
    Microfluidic devices have been studied and developed over the last decades due to their multiple biology applications. One of their fields of most interest is the organ-on-a-chip technology, which consists in emulating an ...
  • Towards a quantum simulator emulating the electron-phonon interaction 

    Mascaró Burguera, Lucas (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2023-09)
    Master thesis
    Open Access
    Covenantee:   Institut de Ciències Fotòniques (ICFO)
    The interaction between electrons and phonons lies behind a plethora of exotic physical phenomena, from Mott insulators and ferromagnetism to superconductivity. This interaction is really complex, and classical simulation ...
  • Mathematical modelling of the epidemic dynamics due to viral interference 

    Usán Sanz, Pablo (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2023-07-10)
    Master thesis
    Open Access
    Throughout this report we will study the substitution dynamics between two variants of SARS-CoV-19, more specifically the one who took place between Delta and Omicron BA.1 variants. To this effect, we develop two mathematical ...

    Microfluidics has become a field of intense research in the last decades due to the interesting capabilities this type of devices have. In the sensing area, they are meant to outperform classical laboratory techniques in ...
  • CNN-based detection and classification of UV-radiation solar and extrasolar flares 

    Ayyash Sala, Daniel (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2022-10-31)
    Master thesis
    Restricted access - confidentiality agreement
    This MSc. thesis studies the applicability of the CNN-based algorithm stella [2] for the detection of flares from different data sets: optical TESS (exo)stellar, EUV DSO/AIA and GNSS (the last two for Solar flares). First, ...
  • Density functional approach in the study of Bose-Bose liquid drops 

    Sanuy Latorre, Ares (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2022-10-28)
    Master thesis
    Open Access
    We have studied quantum liquid drops composed by a mixture of two Bose components using a density-functional formulation. The functional has been built following two different methods: the beyond mean-field Lee-Huang-Yang ...
  • Innovative calibration method for rotating-coil magnetometers 

    Fontanet Valls, Andrea Del Carme (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2022-05-26)
    Master thesis
    Open Access
    Rotating-coil magnetometers, which rely on induction-coil arrays, are commonly used for magnetic measurements of particle accelerator magnets. In order to characterize magnetic fields with high accuracy using the induced ...
