Dash, T.K. (author), Driessen, J.N. (author), Krasnov, O.A. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author)The challenge of reconstructing the Doppler spectrum of a precipitation-like event observed by a fast-scanning weather radar is addressed. A novel method is proposed where the echo sequence in time is assumed to be a complex Gaussian process with a known covariance structure. It is a two-step approach where the first step is the estimation of...conference paper 2024

Niu, Jiasen (author), Bastiaans, K.M. (author), Ge, Jian Feng (author), Tomar, Ruchi (author), Jesudasan, John (author), Raychaudhuri, Pratap (author), Karrer, Max (author), Driessen, Eduard F.C. (author), Blanter, Y.M. (author)The shot noise in tunneling experiments reflects the Poissonian nature of the tunneling process. The shot-noise power is proportional to both the magnitude of the current and the effective charge of the carrier. Shot-noise spectroscopy thus enables us, in principle, to determine the effective charge q of the charge carriers of that tunnel....journal article 2024

ter Hofstede, R. (author), Driessen, F. M.F. (author), Elzinga, P. J. (author), van Koningsveld, M. (author), Schutter, M. (author)The North Sea was once abundantly covered with hard substrates such as oyster beds, coarse peat banks and glacial erratics, providing habitat to a rich community of marine species. Most of these habitats were destroyed by bottom-trawl fisheries over the past century, and today, the seabed hosts a relatively poor species community. Emerging...journal article 2022

Driessen, T. (author), Picco, Angèle (author), Dodou, D. (author), de Waard, Dick (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author)Vehicles are increasingly equipped with sensors that capture the state of the driver, the vehicle, and the environment. These developments are relevant to formal driver testing, but little is known about the extent to which driving examiners would support the use of sensor data in their job. This semi-structured interview study examined the...journal article 2021

Krüger, Matti (author), Driessen, T. (author), Wiebel-Herboth, Christiane B. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author), Wersing, Heiko (author)With the rise of partially automated cars, drivers are more and more required to judge the degree of responsibility that can be delegated to vehicle assistant systems. This can be supported by utilizing interfaces that intuitively convey real-time reliabilities of system functions such as environment sensing. We designed a vibrotactile...journal article 2020
