In practice, environmental analytics involves an integration of science, methods, and techniques involving a combination of computers, computational intelligence, information technology, mathematical modelling, and system science to address “real-world” environmental and sustainability problems. Effective environmental decision-making is often challenging and complex where final results often involve inherently subjective political and socio-economic facets. Furthermore, while certain […]

Magnesium (Mg) as the lightest structural metal has a broad range of applications, mainly in the automotive industry. Considering the transportation sector corresponds to the largest share (29% in 2019) of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), one of the ways to reduce this share consists in introducing lightweight vehicles in order to diminish fuel consumption, and

Traditionally, manufacturing happens within factory walls, where a factory is understood as a place for mass production of goods. It is an assembly of machines and workers who are organized and managed to maximize efficiency and productivity. “Manufacturing-as-a-Network” is unlike the factory as we know it and answers to the needs of the postindustrial society.

Patricia Nyamekye defended her Thesis this week at LUT University: Her research focused on Life cycle cost-driven design for additive manufacturingThe dissertation of Nyamekye on additive manufacturing (AM) (popularly known as 3D printing) included investigatory research of resource consumptions, effects of process factors, and life cycle cost of AM.
