(author)Urban resilience to natural hazards could make our cities less vulnerable to adverse weather events. However, the implementation of resilience actions is currently not effective, as mechanisms to facilitate collaboration among involved stakeholders are missing. This paper for the first time explores causal mapping as a method to disassemble...journal article 2024

(author), Stigter, Marinus (author), Reichart, Gert Jan (author)Since the industrial revolution the ocean has become noisier. The global increase in shipping is one of the main contributors to this. In some regions, shipping contributed to an increase in ambient noise of several decibels, especially at low frequencies (10 to 100 Hz). Such an increase can have a substantial negative impact on fish,...review 2024

Evans, Barry (author), Lam, Arthur (author), West, Charles (author), Ahmadian, Reza (author), Djordjević, Slobodan (author), Chen, Albert (author), Pregnolato, M. (author)With the increase of the frequency and severity of flooding events, coupled with population growth, the risks posed to people from flooding is ever more apparent. This paper proposes a methodology to examine the risks posed to vehicles' occupants and pedestrians simultaneously in an urban context. Through considering stability functions of a...journal article 2023

Ding, J. (author), Lam, Tin Lun (author), Ge, Ligang (author), Pang, Jianxin (author), Huang, Yanlong (author)Bipedal locomotion has been widely studied in recent years, where passive safety (i.e., a biped rapidly brakes without falling) is deemed to be a pivotal problem. To realize safe 3-D walking, existing works resort to nonlinear optimization techniques based on simplified dynamics models, requiring hand-tuned reference trajectories. In this...journal article 2023

Lam, K.L. (author), Solon, Kimberly (author), Jia, Mingsheng (author), Volcke, Eveline I. P. (author), van der Hoek, J.P. (author)Recovering phosphorus from wastewater in more concentrated forms has potential to sustainably recirculate phosphorus from cities to agriculture. The environmental sustainability of wastewater-based phosphorus recovery processes or wastewater-derived phosphorus products can be evaluated using life cycle assessment (LCA). Many LCA studies used a...journal article 2022

Lam, Ka Leung (author), Liu, Gang (author), Motelica-Wagenaar, Anne Marieke (author), van der Hoek, J.P. (author)Many cities have pledged to achieve carbon neutrality. The urban water industry can also contribute its share to a carbon-neutral future. Using a multi-city time-series analysis approach, this study aims to assess the progress and lessons learned from the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions management of urban water systems in four global cities:...journal article 2022

Lam, K.L. (author), Zlatanovic, L. (author), van der Hoek, J.P. (author)Recovering resources from wastewater systems is increasingly being emphasised. Many technologies exist or are under development for recycling nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus from wastewater to agriculture.

Lam, K.L. (author), van der Hoek, J.P. (author)The provision of urban water and wastewater services contributes to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Urban water supply and wastewater utilities can potentially achieve low-carbon or carbon-neutral operation through many “utility opportunities”. Outside the jurisdiction of water utilities, many water-related “wider opportunities” can also...journal article 2020

(author), Dadachova, E. (author)Background Implant associated infections such as periprosthetic joint infections are difficult to treat as the bacteria form a biofilm on the prosthetic material. This biofilm complicates surgical and antibiotic treatment. With rising antibiotic resistance, alternative treatment options are needed to treat these infections in the future.

Amosov, M. V. (author), Zlatanovic, L. (author), Lam, K.L. (author), Solomonides, S. (author), van der Hoek, J.P. (author)The wastewater chain of Amsterdam offers an opportunity to recover up to 100% of phosphorus per year, versus 47% currently recovered. However, for the stakeholders of Amsterdam (e.g. citizens, business) it remains difficult to scale-up existing solutions for resource recovery. Mainly, due to the limitations of the widelyused methods (e.g. mass...conference paper 2019
