With increasing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and their detrimental effect on the global climate, modern society needs to push for more renewable energy sources. Storing widely accessible and abundant solar energy in chemical bonds in the form of molecular fuel via artificial photosynthesis…

Natural resources often stretch across borders that separate modern nation states. This can create conflict and limit opportunities for regulated consumption of their goods and services, but also provide opportunities for joint multinational efforts that exceed single country capabilities.

Time-series forecasting through modelling sequences of temporally dependent observations has many industrial and scientific applications. While machine learning models have been widely used to create time-series forecasting models, creating efficient and performant time-series forecasting models is…

Before the large scale use of renewable energy sources can be implemented in our society, the storage of electrical energy needs to be tackled. Storage the energy as hydrogen via the reduction of protons is a good option.

Traditional hypothesis testing requires researchers to set a fixed sample size in advance. After collecting data, the test determines whether to reject the null hypothesis.

Healthcare is under pressure. People are living longer, health inequalities are growing and costs keep rising. At the Faculty of Medicine, two Master’s programmes are working on solutions to these societal challenges: Health, Ageing and Society and Population Health Management. During the Experience…
