Boringa, Marijn (author), van Erp, Job (author), Ploumen, Corné (author)Over the years, care givers in nursing homes have seen their workload gradually increase. With no end of this trend in sight, the need for smart support systems increases. Especially systems which decrease the time spent on menial tasks are valued highly, because this frees more time for high quality and personal care.<br/>To achieve this, Momo...bachelor thesis 2022

Younis, Rami (author)Power electronics are an important technology used to convert electricity from a source like a battery or high voltage DC bus to more usable forms of electricity. This has to be done efficiently, reliably and without failures which is critical in applications like electric cars or datacenters. Power MOSFETs with upcoming SiC and GaN devices are...master thesis 2022

Rietveld, Jasper (author)Capacitive, interdigital sensors in proximity of a PASiC thin film have been proposed as a cheap, robust alternative to existing ammonia sensing technologies. However, although prototype sensors have been manufactured, investigation into the working principles of this class of ammonia sensors is limited. This work aims to analyse the electrode...master thesis 2022
