van der Ree, Chris (author)There is a growing demand of various metals originating from the sustainable energy transition. The current supply and investments plans for these critical minerals are insufficient to enable this green energy transition. Other problems are the dependency of third countries and multiple drawbacks of land-mining. Deep-sea mining could be a great...master thesis 2024

Cheizoo, Bas (author)The speed and precision required in the precision motion industry is an ever-growing challenge. Linear control offers intuitive frequency-domain controller design methods that are based on a frequency response function (FRF) of the plant, which is obtained solely from measurement data. Unsurprisingly, linear controllers account for over 90% of...master thesis 2024

Kurucz, Liza (author)Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the Netherlands. Accurate assessment of the prostate volume (PV) is a crucial step in prostate cancer (PCa) screening and risk-stratification. In standard clinical care, the PV is obtained by measuring the prostate dimensions with the aid of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS). However, rectal...master thesis 2024
