Lussenburg, K.M. (author)
Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, offers a new paradigm for the way functional products are designed, manufactured, and assembled. Its additive nature provides the ability to create complex-shaped parts, without an increase in production time or costs, which would be difficult to produce with conventional manufacturing. In addition,...

Climate change is one of the most dangerous and simultaneously most complex threats humanity has ever faced. The key response to this threat has been an unprecedented strategic shift in the energy sector, known as the<i> energy transition</i>. Electricity powers the modern world and is at the very centre of the energy transition. The shift to...

This doctoral dissertation delves into the complex challenge of smallholder productive inclusion within the biodiesel value chain in Brazil. The focus is on the National Policy for Biodiesel Production and Use (PNPB) and its instrument to promote smallholder inclusion: the Social Biofuel Seal (SBS). Productive inclusion of smallholders in value...

The imminence of anthropogenic climate change has motivated a global energy transition towards sustainable power generation. Offshore wind—an important contributor to the energy transition—is expanding, not only in turbine size and number of installations, but also into regions with harsher environmental conditions. One of those conditions in...

The growing understanding of the physics of superconductor-semiconductor nanostruc- tures is a key driver for the development of emerging quantum technologies. The elemen- tary excitations of these hybrid nanostructures are Andreev bound states. To further our knowledge about their intricate physics, new tools must be used to study them. This...

Computer vision algorithms are getting more advanced by the day and slowly approach human-like capabilities, such as detecting objects in cluttered scenes and recognizing facial expressions. Yet, computers learn to perform these tasks very differently from humans. Where humans can generalize between different lighting conditions or geometric...

Our ability to tailor enzymatic properties is a critical factor for biocatalyst application in the industrial sector. Although many wild-type enzymes have been found capable of promiscuously catalysing desired anthropogenic reactions, their activity and selectivity for non-natural transformations is often poor. Consequently, it is crucial to...

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...
