Disclosing Interstices: Open-ended Design Transformation of Urban Leftover Spaces

Leftover spaces are neglected and obsolete spaces within the city. As they are temporarily unoccupied by defined urban functions, leftover spaces provide unique “interstitial conditions” that open for wild species as well as different informal social activities, offering crucial complements to the formal and defined urban spaces. In this context...

Data-driven Analysis and Modeling of Passenger Flows and Service Networks for Public Transport Systems

Public transport (PT) plays an increasingly important role in solving mobility challenges, especially in densely populated metropolitan areas. Further improving PT systems requires more advanced planning and operations. Fortunately, the considerable amount of data that have become increasingly available for PT systems offer an opportunity to...

Multi-agent control of urban transportation networks and of hybrid systems with limited information sharing

This thesis aims at developing efficient methods for control of large-scale systems by employing state-of-the-art control methods and optimization techniques. This thesis is divided into two parts. In the first part, we address dynamic traffic routing for urban transportation networks. In the second part, we address multi-agent model predictive...

Multigrid Method for the Coupled Free Fluid Flow and Porous Media System

Charge Carrier Trapping Processes and Deliberate Design of Afterglow Phosphors

In this thesis, two different charge carrier trapping and detrapping processes are<br/>investigated: (1) electron trapping and electron release; (2) hole trapping and hole<br/>release. Both of these two processes can be used to “deliberate design” afterglow<br/>phosphors or storage materials.
