In the Masoala Rainforest at Zoo Zurich, a state-of-the-art prototype developed by the Center for Project-Based Learning (PBL) is currently undergoing testing. This new device provides unprecedented and pivotal data for research on Goodman's mouse lemurs, one of the world's smallest lemur species.

Patch-IT, multi-sensor sensor nodes for continuous vital sign monitoring for sepsis detection in neonatal intensive care, has been selected among the best 100 projects as part of the Prototype for Humanity Initiative. The initiative aims to foster partnerships among sectors, institutions, and individuals, all working toward a better world where innovation is at the heart of comprehensive, sustainable development.

At the end of this semester, the best assistants were awarded the Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award FS 2024. The winners are Angelo Nujic (Analysis II) and Philipp Schilk (Embedded Systems).

Last week, the Center for Project-Based Learning at D-ITET (PBL) won two awards at challenging conferences. Andrea Ronco, Philipp Schilk and Michele Magno won the best demo award at the 9^th ACM/IEEE International Conference on Internet of Things Design and Implementation (IoTDI). The other prize was the best paper award at the 75^th IEEE International Instrumentation and Measurement Technology Conference (I²MTC) 2024.

Two projects with contributions from the Power Systems Laboratory (PSL), headed by Prof. Gabriela Hug, have won the Watt d'Or Award 2025.

Prof. Onur Mutlu, head of the SAFARI Research Group, has received the IEEE Computer Society 2025 Harry H. Goode Memorial Award for "seminal contributions to computer architecture research and practice, especially in memory systems".
