Hesam Mahmoudi Nezhad, N. (author)The design of electrostatic charged particle lenses involves changing many geometrical parameters of the lens electrodes as well as changing the voltages at each lens electrodes. The objective of the design is often to get the electrons passing through the lens system to be focused at a specific point and to minimize the aberrations of the lens....doctoral thesis 2024

Anton, Mihai (author)In large-scale ML, data size becomes a critical variable, especially in the context of large companies, where models already exist and are hard to change and fine-tune. Time to market and model quality are essential metrics, thus looking for ways to select, prune and augment the input data while treating the model as a black box can speed up the...master thesis 2024

Long, Youyuan (author)In Inverse Optimization (IO), it is hypothesized that experts, when making decisions, implicitly engage in solving an optimization problem. If we can reconstruct this optimization problem using the decision data of the expert, then the behavior of the expert can be emulated. In this thesis, a novel inverse optimization model, Kernel Inverse...master thesis 2024

Uppenkamp, Gijs (author)Offshore wind farms are increasing in size and moving further from shore. Service operation vessels (SOVs) are used for offshore wind operation and maintenance (O&M) at these large far offshore sites. These large vessels typically have a smaller daughter craft (DC) on board that can assist them. This DC is however too small to provide the...master thesis 2024

Liscio, E. (author)Human values are the abstract motivations that drive our opinions and actions. AI agents ought to align their behavior with our value preferences (the relative importance we ascribe to different values) to co-exist with us in our society. However, value preferences differ across individuals and are dependent on context. To reflect diversity in...doctoral thesis 2024
