Xu, J. (author)Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have found extensive applications across diverse fields, such as image classification, speech recognition, and natural language processing. However, their susceptibility to various adversarial attacks, notably the backdoor attack, has repeatedly been demonstrated in recent years. <br/>The backdoor attack aims to...doctoral thesis 2025

Huber, Katharina T (author), van Iersel, L.J.J. (author), Moulton, Vincent (author), Scholz, Guillaume E. (author)In evolutionary biology, networks are becoming increasingly used to represent evolutionary histories for species that have undergone non-treelike or reticulate evolution. Such networks are essentially directed acyclic graphs with a leaf set that corresponds to a collection of species, and in which non-leaf vertices with indegree 1 correspond...journal article 2025

Thimmapa, Pradeepthi (author)Contemporary project-based organisations recognise the importance of leveraging past project knowledge for competitive advantage. By leveraging the lessons learned from previous and ongoing projects, organisations can benefit from managing learning within and across projects effectively. Despite these benefits, challenges persist in effectively...master thesis 2024

Kirilov, Konstantin (author)The post-war architectural and urban design paradigm’s characteristic trait of spatial and functional determination limits the possibility for spatial adaptation and flexibility in urban spaces, struggling to face ever-steadily occurring social, economic, and climate challenges. In Droixhe - the largest post-war social housing ensemble in Liège,...master thesis 2024

Bastiaanssen, C.K.J.M.L. (author)Interactions are essential to life. At the cellular level, the most fundamental processes rely on interactions between DNA, RNA, and proteins. Given that the structure and function of these molecules are determined by their sequence, it is ultimately the sequence that dictates the strength and specificity of these interactions. Thus, to improve...doctoral thesis 2024

de Hoog, E. (author)Hydraulic transport pipelines are used in dredging, (wet) mining and deep sea mining. These pump-pipeline systems are typically designed using steady-state principles. However, recent cases have shown that steady-state design does not always guarantee stable pipelines. Transients like self-amplifying density waves have shown to be able to...doctoral thesis 2024

van Zanten, Jimmy (author)Hydrogen is an interesting and promising alternative for fuels. Currently, most hydrogen is produced via a process called steam reforming, where a reaction between methane and water occurs, with carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide as waste products and released in the atmosphere. This work presents a study on the sustainable production of...master thesis 2024

Li, Y. (author)Improving the efficiency in deploying deep neural networks (DNNs) and processing complex high-dimensional data has drawn increasing attention in recent years. Yet, the deployment of large DNN models is challenged by the high computational complexity and energy consumption, making it difficult to run on resource-constrained devices such as mobile...doctoral thesis 2024

Intriago Zambrano, J.C. (author)Recently, there has been a growing need for sustainable agriculture to increase food security, alleviate poverty, and contribute to climate change mitigation. Smallholder farmers (SFs) play a key role in this endeavor as they are a considerable segment of the global farming population. Despite their relevance, SFs face several challenges that...doctoral thesis 2024

(author)The main objectives of bioprocesses are to reliably deliver drugs in a relatively short time frame with high quality within a tight regulatory framework. Bioprocesses are highly complex, the level of automation is moderate, and there is constant pressure to improve efficiency and costs. In addition, climate change and resource scarcity...review 2024

Moghaddasi, Hanie (author)Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most common tachyarrhythmia in the heart. Irregular RR intervals and the absence of a P wave before the QRS complex characterize AF. Although many studies have been done to detect atrial fibrillation, many aspects of this intricate disease need further analysis. AF is often diagnosed by the interpretation of multi...doctoral thesis 2024

Meyer, M. (author)The spin of a single electron or hole provides an attractive candidate for implementing a quantum bit when confined in a semiconductor quantum dot. Such a spin qubit is characterized by long coherence and short gate times. High-fidelity single and two-qubit operations have been demonstrated as well. Additionally, semiconductor quantum dots have...doctoral thesis 2024

van Duivendijk, J. (author)The dissertation focussed on the kind of closure methods used, in the past and at present, to repair breached dikes and to close tidal channels by simple means. By simple means one must think about the application by (mainly) manual labour of local materials and small-scale tools and equipment. The closure of tidal channels is also required in...doctoral thesis 2024

le Poole, J.J. (author)Early-stage design of complex ships is of an iterative nature due to a coevolving problem definition and solution generation. In addition, design decisions are often made based on assumptions early on. To inform the stakeholder dialogue to support the definition of the design problem, designers need to gain insight into the technical feasibility...doctoral thesis 2024

Kroon, J. (author)Because of the large uncertainties associated with rising sea levels, present coastal management is inclined towards utilizing soft, nature-inclusive, and adaptive measures over traditional hard protection structures. This shift towards more sustainable and multi-functional solutions is often called Building with Nature. In the coastal zone,...doctoral thesis 2024

Veltmeijer, A.V. (author)Activities underground, such as gas extraction or fluid injection, can disturb the natural stresses present and can cause human-induced earthquakes along pre-existing faults. Even though they are related to engineering, these earthquakes are currently unpredictable. Monitoring and understanding how these earthquakes occur are essential for a...doctoral thesis 2024
