PAPERS & ARTICLES

Articles and publications:

In aHead Research we actively contribute to the design and implementation of algorithms and new applications for known algorithms, as demonstrated by our profilc publication of funded research or research derived from innovative industrial projects.
In aHead Research, we boast a vast array of academic experience, including publications on peer-reviewed journals.
