The Department of Geology of the University of Patras conducts education and research across Earth materials, general and marine geology, geodynamics, applied geology and geophysics. Its laboratories cover areas including geological mapping and photogeology, GIS and remote sensing, geophysics, seismology, hydrogeology, engineering geology, marine geology and physical oceanography. Within the space ecosystem, the Department is particularly relevant through its use of Earth Observation, satellite imagery, GIS, remote sensing and geodesy for geological mapping, terrain and geomorphological analysis, geohazard monitoring, tectonic and crustal-deformation studies, environmental assessment and natural-resource management.
YLISENSE is a Greek deep-tech company based in Patras, developing materials-intelligence and embedded-AI solutions for high-performance structures. Our mission is to make the manufacture, monitoring and lifecycle management of composite systems more intelligent, efficient and reliable by combining physics-based modelling, sensing, edge computing, artificial intelligence and experimental validation.
Our flagship platform, AIR, supports controlled composite curing through process simulation, profile optimisation, real-time monitoring, local operator control and traceable process records. These capabilities support the agile production and validation of carbon-fibre composite components for satellites, launch systems and other NewSpace applications.
YLISENSE currently participates in four major European programmes. Through ESA BIC Greece, we are developing and industrialising AIR. We coordinate the Horizon Europe AUREL project as its sole beneficiary, advancing multi-zone infrared curing, digital twins and reinforcement-learning control. In the Horizon Europe Bio.3DGREEN project, we lead work on safe-and-sustainable-by-design, life-cycle assessment, circularity and techno-economic analysis for bio-based graphene-foam components. Through MANTIS, supported under the European Defence Fund MaJoR project, we develop machine-learning-enabled structural assessment, sensor fusion and maintenance decision support for defence composite platforms.
Our team combines extensive experience in composite materials, aerostructures, structural health monitoring, smart manufacturing, digital twins and European collaborative research. YLISENSE is also registered with the Hellenic Association of Space Industry and si-Cluster and is listed on ESA Star, ESA Match and Space Tech Dealroom.
