Sparse Millimeter Wave Channel Estimation From Partially Coherent Measurements

This project develops a channel estimation technique for millimeter wave (mmWave) communication systems. Our method exploits the sparse structure in mmWave channels for low training overhead and accounts for the phase errors in the channel measurements due to phase noise at the oscillator. Specifically, in IEEE 802.11ad/ay-based mmWave systems,...

Katoenveem Reconnected: The Renovation Design of the Former Cotton Warehouse

The former cotton warehouse of the Katoenveem, which is located at the end of a pier within the Rotterdam harbor area, is a listed architecture monument for the cotton industry in the early 20th century. However, the building is no longer in use and decaying in the strong winds and rains now.<br/>There is a clear disconnection of time and space...

Thermally Driven Sound Source: Application of CNT nanofoams

On chip grown CNT nanofoam has a large surface to volume ratio and excellent thermal electrical properties, which is suitable to be used as a thermoacoustic heater. The highly porous foam exchanges heat with surrounding air efficiently. Every processing step is specifically designed to be CMOS compatible using cleanroom microfabrication. This...

Stacking Rotterdam Identity and Density

We hold the statement that Rotterdam which unlike typical Dutch cities is lacking of it's own identity because it has to many fragments of different identities. We considered this as a opportunity that we could create a new Identity of Rotterdam by stacking different urban experience together---Stacking Diversity.

High-Quality, Real-Time HD Video Stereo Matching on FPGA

Stereo matching is an important computer vision technique, which extracts the depth information of the scene by matching a pair of stereo images. It has numerous applications, such as view-point interpolation, 3DTV, object detection, etc. In the past decades, many algorithms have been proposed to improve the matching quality or to increase the...

Empowering AMA

The dependence of the economy on fossil fuels and the lack of stringent policies to extensively implement renewable energy is an issue to be tackled at national level in the Netherlands. Reducing emissions, while making the shift to renewable energy and changing the existing energy systems towards a sustainable model has been discussed widely....
