Seco Rodrigues, Nuno António (author)Systems and Control deals with modelling and control design of many different types of systems with different behaviour and characteristics. Often times it is challenging to build mathematical models to describe the system dynamics due to limited knowledge of the underlying system, complex nonlinearities, or the existence of unknown exogenous...master thesis 2021

Moreno Gonzalez, M. (author)This thesis presents novel ways of recovering of valuable compounds from food industry side streams. It does so via evaluating two case studies for the valorization of such streams. These types of streams are often referred to as waste and discarded. However, they are rich sources of nutraceuticals (e.g polyphenols), proteins and dietary fiber....doctoral thesis 2021

Chen, C. (author)Process and chemical industrial areas consist of hundreds and even thousands of installations situated next to each other, where quantities of hazardous (e.g., flammable, explosive, toxic) substances are stored, transported, or processed. These installations are mutually linked in terms of the hazard level they pose to each other in the system....doctoral thesis 2021

Kooijman, Iris (author)In financial mathematics, stochastic processes are regularly used to describe observed financial indicators such as stocks, options, futures or interest rates. Identifying the underlying dynamics of observed financial time series is crucial in risk management, as it greatly affects pricing and hedging strategies. The large number of available...master thesis 2021

de Munck, Vincent (author)Crystallization is one of the most widely used purification and separation processes. Nevertheless, the initial step of the crystallization process, nucleation, is still poorly understood and highly stochastic. As a result, most crystallization processes lack fine control over the produced crystal properties. Non photochemical Laser Induced...master thesis 2021

Khanam, Tarbiya (author)In conditionally automated driving, drivers should be free to engage in non-driving-related tasks until warned by the system to take over. Over-reliance on automation can lead to dangerous driving behaviour such as engagement in non-related driving tasks during the transition phase and delayed response to take over requests. Take-over time and...master thesis 2021

de Bruijn, Vasco (author)In cyber security, side-channel attacks (SCA) are of interest because they target the vulnerabilities in implementation rather than inherent vulnerabilities in the algorithm. Profiled SCA is especially interesting as it assumes that the adversary has unlimited access to a clone device that can generate sufficient traces to create a profile of...master thesis 2021

Pel, L. (author), Ji, Yanliang (author), Sun, Zhenping (author)With freshwater getting scares seawater, i.e., water containing NaCl, can become the only viable option for making concrete. Although a lot of research had been directed to understanding the role of water in cement hydration, not much is known about the interaction of the Na+ and Cl- with cement paste during drying. A problem is that available...conference paper 2021

Nandi, Aneesh (author)The paper "Representation shapes Reality" reflects on the relationship between drawing and architecture in six parts. It first gives an overview of the history of drawing – which is seen to be closely linked to the history of the architecture profession as we know it today. The overview establishes a historical trajectory and identifies patterns...student report 2021

Consorti Bussamra, B. (author)Targeting to improve the utilization of lignocellulosic residues in the ethanol processing industry, this work aimed to test if the product inhibition of the enzymatic hydrolysis could be relieved by extractive reaction using aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS). The performance of enzymatic hydrolysis in ATPS is not well defined in literature. In...doctoral thesis 2021

Coutino, Mario (author)To the surprise of most of us, complexity in nature spawns from simplicity. No matter how simple a basic unit is, when many of them work together, the interactions among these units lead to complexity. This complexity is present in the spreading of diseases, where slightly different policies, or conditions,might lead to very different results;...doctoral thesis 2021

Tsiangou, E. (author)Welding is a promising alternative to mechanical fastening, as currently used, to join dissimilar (i.e., thermoset- to thermoplastic-based) composite parts in modern aircraft. Thermoset composites can be indirectly welded through a thermoplastic coupling layer co-cured on the surface of the laminate that needs to be welded. One of the main...doctoral thesis 2021

Ebskamp, Merle (author)As an architect we experiment. Architectural experimentation is the process of generating design ideas and making design decisions. The traditional tools, drawing and modelling, have proven to be fruitful. However, when zooming in on the essence of experimentation, one may wonder if drawing and modelling are the only possible tools to support...master thesis 2021

Bonte, Sven (author)This report describes the results of a graduation project, which was completed at Hombli, a brand of Avanca International B.V. Hombli offers smart home products and has the ambition to become a leader in this domain. In order to achieve that the company wants to create Intellectual Property in the future and have a solid brand. Hombli has two...master thesis 2021

MEXIS, MICHAIL (author)This thesis aims to critically examine the design process of two cultural centres-landmarks, built in the Netherlands in the past decades. The examined projects include the EYE Filmmuseum (DMAA-2011) and the TU Delft Library (Mecanoo-1998). Despite the differences between the two buildings, they share similar starting points regarding the sites...student report 2021

van Veelen, Frank (author)In the past years, small Earth Observation (EO) satellites have become increasingly capable of taking high-resolution images at high sample rates. These images contain valuable information for different sectors, such as the agricultural and military sector. Furthermore they can contain important information about the climate and climate change....master thesis 2021

Chen, X. (author)A 3D dynamic numerical model is established for modelling the excavation process for dredging purposes. The interaction between the solid and fluid phases is realized by a specially designed DEM-FVM coupling mechanism, where the fluid-particle interaction forces, the volume fraction information and the particle information are constantly updated...doctoral thesis 2021

Fritz, Arnout (author)With the ever-increasing demand for a more efficient production process, the thickness of silicon wafers for the solar cell industry has shown a decreasing trend over the years. This makes the substrates more and more fragile, with an increasing breakage rate as a result. Research at the TU Delft has been done on contactless handling, using air...master thesis 2021

Moerland, T.M. (author)Intelligent sequential decision making is a key challenge in artificial intelligence. The problem, commonly formalized as a Markov Decision Process, is studied in two different research communities: planning and reinforcement learning. Departing from a fundamentally different assumption about the type of access to the environment, both research...doctoral thesis 2021
