Improving contact-tracing apps in the COVID-19 era
Research
EPFL
An international collaboration with EPFL has developed a method to improve the performance of COVID-19 contact-tracing apps by taking into account a user’s recent contacts, risk levels and shared information about tests and symptoms.
Optical technology can slash the energy required by AI
Research
EPFL
EPFL engineers are pioneering an energy-saving technology that uses fiber optics to boost the performance of supercomputers.
Helping engineers better predict clay landslides
Research
EPFL
Norway experiences dangerous landslides due to its clay-rich soil. For her Master’s thesis in civil engineering at EPFL, Mathilde Metral outlined steps that the country’s geotechnical engineers can take to improve the predictive computer model they’re currently developing. 
Faulty regulation of an architect gene can lead to rare bone disease
Research
EPFL
EPFL researchers found that, if expressed too early during embryonic development, one of the genes that orchestrate the formation of limbs can lead to a rare disorder of bone growth.
LiftPose3D: Turning 2D images into 3D models
Research
EPFL
EPFL scientists have developed a deep learning-based method called LiftPose3D, which can reconstruct 3D animal poses using only 2D poses from one camera. This method will have impact in neuroscience and bioinspired robotics.
Improving mobile COVID vaccination efforts through GIS mapping
Research
EPFL
EPFL has teamed up with Vaud Canton’s Office for Civil Protection and General Health Office to deploy targeted mobile COVID vaccination centers and inform high risk groups about the importance of getting vaccinated in order to stem the pandemic.
