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

Wassenaar, Arjen (author)The use of geometric anti-springs (GASs) in MEMS accelerometers can not only boost the sensitivity through the static balancing effect, it also introduces the capability to tune the stiffness post-manufacturing by adjusting the balancing force. This paper addresses the challenge of mechanically fine-tuning the stiffness to create the potential...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

Boorsma, Reinder (author)The Wadden Sea is of great ecological importance. Key elements in the Wadden Sea are the extensive intertidal flats. These contain vast amounts of life, serve as feeding grounds for millions of birds, and provide ecosystem services such as coastal protection. It follows that it is important to be able to understand and predict how these vital...master thesis 2024

te Marvelde, Pepijn (author)In the realm of machine learning (ML), the need for efficiency in training processes is paramount. The conventional first step in an ML workflow involves collecting data from various sources and merging them into a single table, a process known as materialization, which can introduce inefficiencies caused by redundant data. Factorized ML strives...master thesis 2024

Vos, Ruben (author)Capacitive deionisation (CDI) is a desalination technology that removes ionic species from water through electrostatic attraction. Recently, a new CDI cell architecture has been developed with multiple channels and electrodes. Here, the ions are driven to migrate from channel to channel to desalinate the water. The inner electrodes of such a...master thesis 2024
