High-value food waste valorisation in the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area: A combined environmental-, socio-technical- and network analysis of anaerobic fermentation technologies for fatty acids production, from a nexus governance perspective

The unprecedented major scale and rapid rate of urban growth put an increasing pressure on natural resources for providing energy, materials, and food- and nutrition security. Likewise, an alarming major increase can be witnessed in the generation of food waste (FW) in urban areas. While megacities contribute to 6.7% of the global population, 12...

Deepification: Learning Variable Ordering Heuristics in Constraint Optimization Problems

Constraint programming is a paradigm for solving combinatorial problems by checking whether constraints are satisfied in a constraint satisfaction problem or by optimizing an objective in a constraint optimization problem. To find solutions, the solver needs to find a variable and value ordering. Numerous heuristics designed by human experts...

BEPSys 2.0: Central Registration Tool for Projects and Groups

The following report outlines the research, development, and delivery phases of the BEPSys 2.0 application. The application aims to provide central project registration and management for courses at the TU Delft. The request for the development stemmed from Otto Visser, who was the acting coordinator for the Computer Science Final Project Course...

IDE Energy Challenge

In 2013 Delft signed the E-deal, an Energy-deal in which is stated that the city Delft needs to be energy neutral in 2050. TU Delft is one of the organisations that joined the challenge as well. This was the starting point of this graduation project. This master thesis presents the design process of the IDE Energy Challenge Network, a network...
