Reliable systems. Clear solutions.
Abstract Landscapes
Abstract Landscapes provides system-oriented consultancy, with experience spanning all the life-cycle stages of complex systems and a track of 20+ years of delivering reliable systems and clear solutions.
"Abstract Landscapes" as company name is a reminder that our entire science is an abstract construct. When you know how to DO something, you have a clear "landscape" in your head. We use the systems engineering methods to consolidate and implement this representation, according to your project's goals.
We thus ensure a SOLID GROUND for science and technology.
Complex systems
-
Particle accelerators
-
Particle therapy
-
Fusion reactors
MedAustron
Particle Therapy Accelerator
18 years collaboration (ongoing)
-
Responsibility for complex systems (ion sources, accelerator injector): procurement, complete installation and commissioning, CE certification, operation, maintenance, upgrades.
-
Setup of the beam quality assurance process (including troubleshooting strategy) for the complete therapy accelerator.
-
Setup of the frameworks for training of accelerator operators and for expert knowledge transfer.
CERN ISOLDE
-
Design and implementation of an ion source system ("VADIS") optimized for the reliable and efficient production of radioactive ion beams, both under present and higher powers of input ion beams. Achieved an improvement of ionization efficiencies of up to a factor 20 (dependent on the chemical element).
-
Identification of additional operational quality checks required to assure stable and reproducible performance of the target-ion source systems.
Complex projects
-
Science-based recommendations
- Scientific networks
- Technical analysis
FABLE Consortium
Contributions to a consortium of multi-disciplinary teams from 20+ countries using a modeling tool to forecast country-level economical indicators until 2050, with the goal of supporting scenario-based informed decisions by various stakeholders:
-
Consolidation of the architecture of the modeling tool.
-
Responsibility for the elaboration of the initial materials for user training.
-
Setup of the quality assurance methodology and tools.
