In the News

We work on a number of multidisciplinary topics with high social relevance. Our work often winds up in the press. A couple of caveats with respect to press / media coverage. Reporters often work under guidelines that are in contrast with our view of the world. As an example, most articles about our vehicles and the applications have no room to mention more than a couple of researchers. The reality is that we are very team oriented and the contributions from all members of the team are critical to our success. The absence of mention of a member or several members of our team in terms of coverage does not detract from their contribution!
