📢 ESD members Aleksandra Kim (Aleksandra K.) and Carlo Schmid will present their poster on the topic of Enhancing Building Material Models with Machine Learning at EPFL AMLD Conference in Lausanne next week. 😃 Feel free to come by! Applied Machine Learning Days #AMLD2024

👏 Congratulations to our colleague Helene Wiesinger for her brilliant and insightful PhD defense! 🔎 She dives deep into the hazardous chemicals in plastics in a linear and circular economy! 📜 Check her publications: lnkd.in/eu33SPyE #Platiscs #CircularEconomy

❔ How to apply #MachineLearning to enhance #BuildingMaterialModels for sustainability and #CircularEconomy assessments? 💡 ESD members Aleksandra K. and Carlo Schmid presented their work on this topic at the #AMLD2024 conference in Lausanne these two days.

🤗 It is our pleasure to have Fabian Achermann (lnkd.in/geghJmSe) with us for nearly 1 year. 📊 During his time in ESD, he developed a tool to evaluate the climate change impact of manure treatment with anaerobic digestion. 🌟 Wish your all the best in your future 🌟

👏Many thanks to Prof. Ramin Roshandel (sharif.ir/~roshandel/) from Sharif University of Technology for his seminar at ESD! He introduced #LinearProgramming and shared a case study on optimizing the economic and environmental cost of building #Greenhouses in Switzerland &Iran🌿

This Tuesday, the #CircularFutureCities project held its 2nd Advisory Board workshop, gathering invaluable insights from industry and government stakeholders ✨ Gratitude to all who contributed 👏 Check the link for project overview👇 bit.ly/4aP16Gz Future Cities Lab #Sustainability

🌾 Excited to share that Anna Muntwyler’s papers are showcased in the #PSC Science Newsletter. The feature includes a Q&A where Anna elucidates data sourcing, handling, and identifies the key beneficiaries of this research—bridging the gap between data and its application. ✨

🌟We're excited to announce that several ESD members will share their research at the upcoming #SETAC Europe 34th Annual Meeting. We look forward to engaging with the SETAC community. See you there! ⚡ #Plastics #Biodiversity #Regionalization #NetZero #DeepLearning #LCA #MRIO

📢 Publication Alert 📢 Is #lithium from geothermal brines the sustainable solution for Li-ion batteries? This question is now answered by Vanessa Schenker and co-authors published in Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews 🌍🔋 Check out the paper: bit.ly/3QrwbIT

👏Thrilled to share that Prof. Stefanie Hellweg, the chair head, was awarded the SETAC Europe Award for Lifetime Achievement in #LCA, while Livia Cabernard, a former colleague and now professor at TU Munich got the Young Scientist LCA Award. Congrats! lnkd.in/e8Qr7vSE

#Recycling one plastic bowl is easy, says ESD postdoc Magdalena Klotz in an episode of #Trend by RSI on the #plastics economy. ♻ But if we want to recycle plastic bowls, bottles and pipes, things become more complicated. Find out why❓ : bit.ly/3K5NYS0 RSI

Excited to share the latest published paper by Shuntian Wang and Stephan Pfister (Stephan Pfister) ! The study explores the #biodiversity impacts of #cocoa cultivation in #CôteDIvoire. 🔗 Read the full article here: lnkd.in/eMYC_P_7 #sustainability #agriculture

🔍 How to further improve the #regionalization level in current LCI databases? 💡Our colleagues Sidi Peng and Stephan Pfister developed a novel approach to regionalize the supply chain in #LCI with #MRIO data. Check their latest publication 📰: bit.ly/3VhgvdR
