Privacy-preserving Clustering of Single-cell RNA Sequencing Data on Intel SGX

This project is dedicated to implementing an unsupervised learning clustering method system for processing big data applied in Intel SGX. Intel SGX is a technology developed to meet the needs of the trusted computing industry similarly to ARM TrustZone, but this time for desktop and server platforms. It is a set of safety-related instruction...

HangARTs museum: a Museosystem: Where artist, curator, and audience come together

HangARTs museum, situated in Rotterdam Zuid at the quay of Maashaven, is the new art museum of Rotterdam. Here, the visitors are audience without needing to enter the building. The public space that the museum provides has public art for passers-by to admire. Even if your original purpose of being was not visiting the museum, you get to...

Learning State Machines in Real-Time on a Small Dedicated Hardware Device

The Internet is a technology that was invented in the 1960s and was used only by a few users to do simple communications between computers. Fast forward to 2020, the Internet has become a technology that is being used by billions of users. It allows users to communicate with each other across the world and even allows users to access data...

Optimal design of a non-isolated high power density buck-boost converter

Semiconductor lifetime and power density are considered to be two important development directions of power converter design in the future. Especially in some high dynamic application, the operation condition is changing frequently causing the temperature swing of semiconductor, and it leads to thermal expansion and contraction which affects the...

Graphalytics Global Competition: A Competition Platform to Compare Different Graph Processing Platforms

Graphs are becoming more popular day by day. This has lead to the development of different graph-processing platforms, such as Hadoop, Apache Giraph and GraphLab. With this wide variety of graph processing platforms, which one should we choose for a specific use case? Which platform has the best performance? To solve this issue, we can benchmark...

Controlled dosing of femto-litre volume liquids using hollow-cantilevers

A hollow cantilever is used in place of a conventional cantilever to dispense and aspirate liquids in the femto-litre (10^−15 L) volume range in an atomic force microscope (AFM) set up. Unlike a conventional AFM cantilever, these cantilevers are made hollow with an on-chip reservoir. Fluid is dispensed through a micro/nanometer scale aperture on...

A tailored fMRI image processing pipeline based on ITK

In neuroscience research, fMRI image analysis is a major approach to identify the relationships between brain region and behavior. fMRI provides delayed real time brain activity signals non-invasively. Spatial preprocessing and statistical analysis needs to be performed to find the brain region that is responsive to certain tasks or stimulations...

Downtown connections: A cultural building complex

The project focuses on the north bank of Buffalo Bayou in Downtown Houston. From a redevelopment plan to a performing arts center to a waterfront park, the proposal aims to take advantage of the urban bayou to activate the leftover space in Downtown Houston.

Living together on one's own

The theme of Interior graduation studio this year is urban culture and new openness. Our assignment is to design a rehabilitation center in Rotterdam. To cooperate with this design project we also did some research related to our own design. My research topic is “A study on the in-between spaces in collective housing”.

Transition: Extending UN to the future-United Nations Environmental Council Design

The SADD graduation studio aims at designing the Environmental Council for United Nations (UNEC), a place where significant decision will be made due to planet problems and all the latest idea of sustainability could be shared. The plot locates on the north loan of existing UN headquarter, designed by Le Corbusier and Oscar Niemeyer.

Power efficient digital correlator in the scope of an UWB baseband design

Ultra Wideband (UWB) radio represents a promising way of communication for low power applications in interference-prone environments. For achieving a low power solution the digital baseband architecture needs to be carefully optimized to reduce the total power consumption. Particularly for the computationally intensive synchronization phase that...

The evaluation of two different PAC operations in combination with submerged ceramic MF membranes in surface water treatment

Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) has been successfully used in conjunction with membrane microfiltration (MF) to reduce taste, odour, colour and other concerns caused by organic material present in raw drinking water sources. PAC addition also significantly reduces the extent of fouling in membranes. And the operation of continuously dosed PAC...

Scheduling in Partially Buffered Crossbar Switches

Intensive studies have been conducted to identify the most suitable architecture for high-performance packet switches. These architectures can be classified by queuing schemes, scheduling algorithms and switching fabric structures. The crossbar based switching fabric has been widely agreed to be the most suitable one, for its low cost,...

Permeable Morphology Shenzhen mega city plan 2030+: Counteracting urban fragmentation by public space

It is a multi-scalar approach to transform the non-develop urban void into an integrative place linking the fragments, through a permeable network of public space considering landscape, slow local street and semi public space.
