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

Kolthof, Roos (author)<b>Background</b><br/>Spasticity is a condition that affects patients who have sustained an upper motor neuron lesion. Such lesions include for example cerebral palsy (CP), of which 35% is affected by spasticity, and stroke, of which 90% is affected by spasticity. Pharmacological therapy often involves the prescription of oral baclofen. However,...master thesis 2024

Agrawal, Tanuj (author)Designing lightweight aircraft parts to improve fuel efficiency is crucial to meet the aviation sector’s goals of reducing CO2 emissions. However, it is also important to ensure that these lightweight parts have a lower CO2 footprint over their entire lifetime. Previous studies have successfully achieved this using topology optimization and low...master thesis 2024

Follis, Patrick (author)Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is commonly used to optimize the power output of solar arrays for LEO satellites. Traditional MPPT techniques such as Perturb & Observe often struggle when the satellite is rotating and the temperature and incident irradiance are rapidly changing. This scenario frequently occurs with miniaturized...master thesis 2024
