van den Hoek, Martijn (author), Houwing, Krijn (author), Vollebregt, Frank (author)Nowadays, entering into a contract with an overseas company still relies on postal services to send a printed contract, which is signed on paper. Lizard Global is developing an online platform for constructing, reviewing and signing digital contracts for one of their clients. In the original system, when a signee signed a contract, his personal...bachelor thesis 2019

Vetter, Elias (author)The limitation of natural resources forces humanity to rethink its current habits of material use. Plastic product packaging, fossil fuels for transportation and energy generation are just a few examples of highly resource intensive processes in modern society. Urgency of this matter increases due to the fast-growing world population and big...master thesis 2019

Popławski, Mateusz (author)Solid state Li ion batteries have garnered attention due to their high safety and increased energy density. A key challenge towards commercialization is reduction of the high interface resistance affecting the charge transfer and in turn performance. In this thesis the aim is to analyze lithium phosphorous oxynitride (LiPON) properties. By...master thesis 2019

Vaal, Elmore (author)Superconducting-normalconducting-superconducting (SNS) transmons with 2-facet Al-shell nanowires are qubits compatible with magnetic fields above 10 mT. There are important correlations of the room temperature nanowire resistance with the chance of the qubit being measurable: at a resistance of 2−3 kΩ, the qubit is almost guaranteed to work. The...master thesis 2019

Raza, Nauman (author)A vast majority (84%) of all countries in the world have coastlines and 80-100% of their population resides within 100 km of the shoreline. Studies show a major growth in population in low-elevation coastal zones and a scenario of rising sea level may force millions of people to relocate. To deal with the increased frequency of extreme events...master thesis 2019

van der Pas, Thomas (author)With the internet growing exponentially, the amount of information stored digitally becomes enormous. Storage systems are expected to withstand failures to prevent the loss of data. To provide the reliability, data is stored multiple times in different storage units. If in this case, one of the storage unit goes offline, a backup of the data...bachelor thesis 2019

Misdorp, Alexander (author)Visual perception is a pillar of human life. Visual impairment, therefore, has a severe impact on the quality of life. The Bioelectronic Interface to Sensory Cortex (BISC) project is aimed at building a system capable of both recording and stimulating neurons in order to remedy visual impairment. The proposed BISC system consists of three...master thesis 2019

Francis, Moreno (author)The negative effects of global warming can already be noticed. The burning of fossil fuel not only contributes to global warming, but also to the reduction of air quality, especially in urban areas. In order to limit the climate change, as well as to improve the air quality, more and more vehicles are replaced by emission free versions. This...master thesis 2019
