LOCALIZATION AND EXPLORATION FOR INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS (LOPSI)

LOCALIZATION AND EXPLORATION FOR INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS (LOPSI)


Fundamental and applied research on GPS-denied Localization systems and exploration systems. Positioning and navigation of persons inside buildings. Design of local positioning systems or LPS (using ultrasound, Radio: RFID, UWB,...), Pedestrian Dead-Reckoning systems o PDR (using Inertial sensors or IMU), and hybrid solutions by fusing information with Bayesian estimation techniques. Aplications in personal navigation, mobility, safety and health.

Breeding and developmental biology of subtropical fruit crops

Breeding and developmental biology of subtropical fruit crops


The activity of the Subtropical Fruit Crops Group focused in a sustainable utilization of genetic resources to optimize production in subtropical fruit tree species both under the current environmental conditions as well as taking into account climate change predictions, is unique in Spain. The activities are mainly focused on the most important subtropical crops grown in Spain (avocado, cherimoya and mango) but work is also performed in other subtropical and temperate fruit crops (mainly Prunus and olive). Some of those species serve as models for the work in subtropical fruit crops.

Medical Imaging and Therapy Systems

Medical Imaging and Therapy Systems


The group focuses its activity on designing Therapy and Medicine Imaging devices beyond the current state-of-the-art, in terms of sensitivity, spatial, energy, and temporal resolution. The group also develops algorithms to provide the best achievable image quality with the available data in the most efficient way in terms of computing time and quantitative accuracy.

Enantiopure Compounds and Sustainable Process Development

Enantiopure Compounds and Sustainable Process Development


Research group "Compuestos Enantiopuros y Procesos Sostenibles" comprises 4 permanent researchers (1 full professor, 1 senior research scientist and 2 professors) and becomes part of the reference research group ProTBioComp recognised by the Aragón autonomous government. ProTBioComp group arises from the union of two research groups recognised by the Aragón autonomous government in previous calls.

Biological and Computational Chemistry

Biological and Computational Chemistry


The Biological and Computational Chemistry research group (BCC) is focused on the exploration and modulation of biological processes involved in diverse pathologies. Supported by its vast experience in asymmetric organic synthesis, the BCC group aims to design and synthesise small molecules with therapeutic applications or what may be used for elucidation of biological and biochemical mechanisms.

Molecular Activation Through Organometallic Complexes

Molecular Activation Through Organometallic Complexes


The group is formed during the period to be evaluated by 4 staff researchers and one POhD student. The research carried out on the group is focused on the organometallic chemistry field, therefore its activity involves the synthesis, reactivity, structure and applications of organometallic compounds. The focus of this research is basic research.

Biotechnology of woody plants

Biotechnology of woody plants


The group was created in 2011 and the group members are specialized in forest biotechnology. Our research focuses on gene regulation of regeneration processes in woody species and the development of methodologies for micropropagation, conservation and improvement of woody species using biotechnological and molecular tools. Our goals are to prevent biodiversity loss, reduce deforestation and promote the sustainable use of woody species. The species under study include native forest species (Castanea spp., Quercus robur, Q.

Soil C biogeochemical cycle

Soil C biogeochemical cycle


CibiCed research group is formed by 1 Senior Scientist. Its research line falls under the theme 7 "Impact of Global Change (V+M+S)" addressing the challenge 7C "Biogeochemical Cycles" (in addition to 7A,7D,7E,7F,7G) and focusing especially on the C cycle in forest soils and the potential of these ecosystems as CO2 sinks. The group has been collaborating with the Unidade de Xestión Forestal Sostenible (UXFS) for more than a decade, participating in various forestry projects with the Departments of Agroforestry Engineering and Plant Production of the USC.
