van Zanten, Jimmy (author)Hydrogen is an interesting and promising alternative for fuels. Currently, most hydrogen is produced via a process called steam reforming, where a reaction between methane and water occurs, with carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide as waste products and released in the atmosphere. This work presents a study on the sustainable production of...master thesis 2024

Hsu, Sing-Chi (author)Magnetometers are widely equipped in smartphones. They measure the direction and the magnitude of the magnetic field of the environment. Since the measurements are not transition data, there is no drift when estimating position and orientation using a magnetometer. Furthermore, magnetic field localization using magnetometers requires no extra...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

van Putten, Noël (author)In this paper, the Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) algorithm is used to perform a constrained wing shape optimization. The PPO algorithm is a Machine Learning (ML) algorithm that improves itself by repeatedly performing the same optimization and learning from its results. The complete adaptation of the PPO framework to the design problem is...master thesis 2024

Veerkamp, Kevin (author)In his paper "Group C*-algebras without the completely bounded approximation property", Haagerup proves several important results about the weak amenability of locally compact groups. Among these, is the result that a lattice in a second-countable, unimodular, locally compact group is weakly amenable if and only if the surrounding group itself...master thesis 2024
