Pulse Mag | Interview with Dr Roberto Castello on the use of AI in the energy transition

The Swiss Data Science Center (SDSC), in collaboration with Empa and Bühler Group, co-organized a workshop to explore data-driven control methods in energy and manufacturing. The event brought together experts from academia and industry to discuss cutting-edge approaches like Rule-Based (RB) Controllers, Model Predictive Control (MPC) and Reinforcement Learning (RL). Participants examined real-world applications and addressed the challenges of adopting these advanced methods in production environments.

Researchers at Eawag and the Swiss Data Science Center have trained AI algorithms with a comprehensive ecotoxicological dataset. Now their machine learning models can predict how toxic chemicals are to fish.

We’ve developed a smart solution for wind tunnel testing that learns as it works, providing accurate results faster. It provides an accurate mean flow field and turbulence field reconstruction while shortening the sampling time.

Our aim is to create a database of who said what and when in both chambers of the Swiss parliament over the past 127 years. The Swiss Federal Archives recently carried out the digitalization of the proceedings of both the National Council and the Council of States. Thanks to these efforts, we can now openly access over 40,000 documents pertaining to all votes, speeches, laws, amendments to laws, etc., from 1891 to the present day.

The Datalakes project creates a user-friendly online platform that allows spatial and temporal analysis of lakes through hydrological and ecological data.
