At Alvotech, bioreactors are used for the production of biosimilars. During the production scale-up process, issues can arise at larger scale that are difficult to predict based on physical experiments. Using CFD, two 3D bioreactor models of different scales have been created, namely the 15L HyPerformaTM Glass Bioreactor and 250L HyPerformaTM Single-Use Bioreactor, both manufactured by Thermo Fish

Reconciliation research consists of two practices, one focusing on the emotional and healing aspects of the process and another that focus on the political and legal actions.

Recent technological advancements have revolutionized tree inventory methods for the forest industry. The development of terrestrial laser scanning (TSL) and automatized tree recognition software to estimate crucial tree parameters such as diameter at breast height (DBH) has made the inventory work faster and more reliable. Forest managers can quickly acquire large amounts of data to safely estima

In this master’s thesis, a novel unsupervised anomaly detection tool was developed in collaboration with Sandvik Rock Processing to assist engineers and experts in analyzing large amounts of sensor data from cone crushers used in the stone crushing industry. The tool focuses on analyzing power, pressure, and CSS sensor data. A crucial preprocessing step was implemented to algorithmically identify

Factors contributing to valuable development assistance are often perceived as a "black box," due to heterogeneity of development aid motives.
