The scientific activity concerns the following 2 main topics of the Electrical Engineering:
- Micromagnetism and Spintronics
- Modelling, diagnostics and reliability of renewable energy sources
The first research topic studies:
The lab has long been involved in the development and characterization of multichannel integrated circuits for read-out of solid-state detectors and sensors for high energy physics and medical imaging. Another related activity is the characterization of detectors, sensors and electronic devices.
The AF&M-lab is part of the network of laboratories of the research group on Materials and Innovative Technology (“SMATIgroup”) whose member operate in the scientific area Manufacturing Systems and Technologies (ING-IND/16).
The AFlab researchers work in the field of information systems with specific emphasis to environmental applications (pollutants and odors, particulate and water, e-nose and e-tongue). Another field of interest is web semantic and common language disambiguation.
Services and research activities (institutional and funded) provided within the lab focus on the
following Geomatics themes:
• extraction of 2D/3D geometric primitives from satellite/aerial/UAV VHR data to update
Technical/Thematic Cartography.
