Zhang, Madeline (author)Surface pressure measurements are a crucial part of aerodynamic/hydrodynamic analysis and are essential when studying complex flow phenomena. Although pressure-sensitive paint (PSP) has become established as a non-intrusive field measurement technique for high-speed applications in air, a comparable method does not yet exist for usage underwater...master thesis 2022

Zhang, Huishun (author)Problem Statement. The responsibility problem in the AI field has been taken seriously. The point of the problem is how to prevent AI systems from making moral decisions for whom they cannot be held accountable. One of the directions to address the responsibility problem is Meaningful Human Control (MHC). Most of the work focused on theoretical...master thesis 2022

Zhang, QI (author)In image search, an algorithm tries to identify images in a database that are similar to a query image. Image search has numerous applications. For example, image search can help historians find images of a historical building from a large image database of buildings worldwide. Feature extraction and nearest neighbors methods are standard steps...master thesis 2022

Zhang, Peter (author)Peer-to-peer trading and energy communities have garnered much attention over the last few years due to the wider spread of distributed energy resources. Much research has been performed on the mechanisms and methodologies behind their implementation and realisation. However, the efficiency and micro-structure of trading in such markets raise...master thesis 2022

Zhang, Yixuan (author)One of the most important problems that needs tackling for wide deployment of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is the bias in ASR, i.e., ASRs tend to generate more accurate predictions for certain speaker groups while making more errors on speech from others. In this thesis, we aim to reduce bias against non-native speakers of Dutch compared...master thesis 2022

Zhang, Yuanyuan (author)Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems have seen substantial improvements in the past decade; however, not for all speaker groups. Recent research shows that bias exists against different types of speech, including non-native accents, in state-of-the-art (SOTA) ASR systems. To attain inclusive speech recognition, i.e., ASR for everyone...master thesis 2022

Zhang, Yuning (author)Quantum decoherence is one of the most substantial challenges on the way to fullyfledged quantum technology. Noise mitigation based on dynamical control techniques, aside from error correction, is known to be another effective approach to protect qubits from decoherence. In this thesis, we studied the dynamics of a spin qubit interacting with a...master thesis 2022

Kalligeri Skentzou, Anna (author), Verkleij, Charlotte (author), Speulman, Manon (author), Zhang, Yueqi (author)Mankind is exhausting natural resources. Therefore, the need to transform the linear material flows towards circular chains is increasing. Steel is a material that is produced and used globally and has high potentials for recycling. However, in the maritime sector, steel is currently barely recycled, let alone reused in a more direct way....student report 2022
