SUMMARY:Biomedical Imaging with MEMS -day4
DESCRIPTION:Course unit contentsThis course explores Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) for biomedical imaging and their integration into next-generation diagnostic systems\, focusing on ultrasound and Terahertz (THz) radiation. The curriculum provides the analytical and methodological tools required to design\, model\, and characterize MEMS-based transducers for ultrasound imaging and Terahertz imaging for clinical applications. \nThe course introduces biomedical imaging techniques\, describing the primary role of MEMS devices in both traditional and emerging imaging modalities. The program covers MEMS technology\, discussing different modeling approaches and describing the microfabrication processes that transform Silicon into 3D resonating microstructures. Proposed MEMS transducers modeling methodologies include analytical models based on linear systems theory\, lumped-parameter equivalent circuits\, and Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations. \nLearning goalsBy the end of the course\, participants will have acquired a comprehensive understanding of MEMS operating principles in the biomedical field. Students will develop advanced skills in creating circuital models for micro-electro-mechanical resonators\, as well as multiphysics FEM models featuring electro-mechano-acoustic and thermos-opto-mechanical coupling. Additionally\, attendees will understand the primary figures of merit necessary to evaluate the performance of MEMS-based systems in ultrasound and Terahertz imaging applications. \nSuggested readingsBrenner\, K.; Ergun\, A.S.; Firouzi\, K.; Rasmussen\, M.F.; Stedman\, Q.; Khuri–Yakub\, B.

SUMMARY:Green Chemistry and Technology – day 2
DESCRIPTION:Course contentsThis course explores the fundamental principles of sustainable chemistry and engineering\, focusing on the design of products and processes that minimize environmental impact. The programme bridges theoretical foundations with industrial applications\, providing doctoral candidates with the methodologies required to evaluate and implement “green” innovation in chemical production. \nThe curriculum provides an introduction to green chemistry and sustainable technology\, examining the relationship between chemical engineering and environmental preservation. Key topics include the principles of green nanotechnology—focusing on nanomaterials derived from green sources—and sustainable approaches to energy production\, such as fuel cells. A significant portion of the programme is dedicated to Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and the use of green metrics to evaluate the environmental performance of chemical processes. Through laboratory sessions\, students will gain hands-on experience in calculating the “greenness” of products\, ensuring they are equipped with the quantitative tools necessary to support sustainable industrial workflows. \nLearning goalsBy the conclusion of the course\, students will master the core principles of green chemistry and engineering. Participants will acquire the analytical capability to perform preliminary assessments of the “greenness” of materials and processes. The goal is to develop a critical understanding of sustainable development\, enabling future researchers to design chemical systems that are both functionally optimized and environmentally responsible. \nReadingsAnastas\, P.

SUMMARY:From the Energy Simulation of Buildings to the Environmental Certification Protocols -day2
DESCRIPTION:Course contentsThis course focuses on the thermal and energy performance of the built environment\, addressing the urgent need for decarbonization in the building sector. The programme investigates the energy dynamics of building envelopes and plant systems\, providing doctoral candidates with the methodologies to conduct detailed energy audits\, simulations\, and environmental assessments. \nThe curriculum begins with an introduction to the thermal and energy properties of building envelopes\, establishing the boundary conditions necessary for rigorous design and energy analysis. Detailed modules cover the performance of building components and technical devices\, exploring the energy dynamics of the entire structure. A significant portion of the course is dedicated to regulatory frameworks and sustainability standards\, specifically examining the differences between mandatory energy certification and voluntary environmental protocols. Additionally\, the programme emphasizes the practical use of advanced simulation tools for the energy modeling of buildings and plants. Students will learn to implement dynamic simulations to perform high-fidelity energy audits\, identifying strategies for reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions. The course also addresses the broader environmental impacts of the building field\, analyzing how the application of global protocols influences ecology\, transport\, and pollution mitigation to ensure holistic sustainability. \nLearning goalsBy the end of the course\, students will be able to analyze complex energy challenges within the building sector\, understanding the global impact of construction on the CO2 footprint. Participants will master the procedures for energy certification in Italy and gain a comprehensive knowledge of international sustainability protocols such as GBC\, Itaca\, and BREEAM. Furthermore\, the course sviluppa proficiency in using dynamic simulation tools to evaluate energy-saving potential and to assess the benefits of environmental protocols across various domains\, including indoor well-being\, material selection\, and waste management. \nSuggested readings\nAshrae Standard 90.1-2022—Energy Standard for Sites and Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings\nFatma S.
