Subramanian, Vasanth (author)We live in a world where much of our interactions with the environment around us depend on us being physically close to them. For instance, we have proximitybased tokens (e.g., keys and smartcards) for access systems installed at various places such as in cars, at contactless payment terminals, and in electronic passports. Moreover, such...master thesis 2021

Veldkamp, Lindsay (author)Impact on composite structures shows a different damage behaviour compared to metal structures. Due to the current short operational life time of composite aircraft the risks of impact damages on composite structures are unknown. This paper proposes a new method for quantitative risk analysis of low velocity impact damages on composite aircraft...master thesis 2021

van Oort, Bart (author)Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are pervasive in the current computer science landscape. Yet, there still exists a lack of Software Engineering (SE) experience and best practices in this field. One such best practice, static code analysis, can be used to find code smells, i.e., (potential) defects in the source code,...master thesis 2021

van Rijn, Joey (author)Outstanding seizure detection algorithms using electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings have been developed over the past decade. These works mainly focus on best of class performance, which leads to computationally heavy solutions. This limits the applicability of these detection algorithms for hardware implementations such as fieldprogrammable...master thesis 2021

Förstel, Irène (author)Nowadays does the internet presence of companies increase, and with it, their attack surface and the probability of breaches: every information system in the company's network may be an entry point for an outsider. Therefore, companies need to secure their information systems. However, current risk assessment frameworks fail to connect the...master thesis 2021

van der Laan, Niek (author)Finding defects in proposed changes is one of the biggest motivations and expected outcomes of code review, but does not result as often as expected in actually finding defects. Just-in-time (JIT) defect prediction focuses on predicting bug-introducing changes, which can help with efficient allocation of inspection time according to the defect...master thesis 2021

Kaźmierczak, Adrianna (author)A satellite remote sensing technique, Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR), is able to provide surface displacement information on a millimeter level. In this study, data from the TerraSAR-X satellite collected in the years 2009-2018 over the area of Amsterdam is used. Even though radar data is a subject to multi-step processing,...master thesis 2021

Nicoletti, Leonardo (author)Throughout history, social movements have often been catalysts for radical societal change. In the past two decades, hashtag activism, the use of social media platforms for internet activism, has become a driving force behind the development of social movements across the world. From #MeToo to #IdleNoMore and most recently #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd...master thesis 2021

Brussen, Arjen (author)Year after year, the amount of network intrusions and costs associated to them rises. Research in this area is, therefore, of high importance and provides valuable insight in how to prevent or counteract intrusions. Machine learning algorithms seem to be a promising answer for automated network intrusion detection, as their results often reach...master thesis 2021

Crijns, Lucas (author)This project aims to recreate intensity patterns using Fraunhofer diffraction as a means of simulation. These intensity patterns are created by phase shifting specific parts of an incoming field of light. These phase shifts are determined by a B-spline surface, which is in turn controlled by so-called control points. Only a handful of control...bachelor thesis 2021
