Jung, Jiwon (author)The research question of this doctoral thesis is: What can be the future impact of design (activities) in digital health, given the rise of data collection and analysis technologies? I answered this question on three knowledge levels: design vision, knowledge-generating approach, and design tool. In Chapter 1, I envision design activities for...doctoral thesis 2023

Baksteen, Ruud (author)Traditional kinematic joints used in large scale machinery consist of multiple rigid parts in contact, which causes wear and imposes the need for lubrication and maintenance. Compliant joints have the potential to eliminate these problems as they require less maintenance. However, these joints are not studied for large scale applications with...master thesis 2023

Mertens, Emily (author)Global warming is a topic of major concern the last decade and for reason the IMO adopted a strategy to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gasses of vessels. In order to meet the IMO requirements ships propulsion systems need to become more sustainable. An option to reduce emission is the implementation of fuel cells running on hydrogen together...master thesis 2022

CHEN, RUIHUA (author)Numansgors is a village seeking to improve sustainability by housing renovation. In this process, the effective participation of homeowners faces multiple challenges. The Pattern Language Theory (PLT), a design methodology first proposed by Alexander Christopher in 1970s, shows its potential in tackling these challenges. However, as PLT has been...master thesis 2022

Kooijman, Finn (author)The Product Journey Map was developed through an iterative process, preceded by research on design methodologies and existing mapping methodologies such as the Customer Journey Map and Service Blueprint. By synthesising the research on design- and existing mapping methodologies, a vision of the Product Journey Map was developed and explored...master thesis 2022

Joustra, J.J. (author), Bakker, C.A. (author), Bessai, R. (author), Balkenende, A.R. (author)The design of composite products for a circular economy is challenging. Materials such as glass-fibre-reinforced plastics have long product lifetimes but are hard to recycle. For the effective reuse and recycling of products, parts, and materials, recovery strategies must be selected and implemented in the product design stage. This extends the...journal article 2022

del Rivero Cortázar, Aitor (author)The need to understand how the brain works has sparked interest in electrode arrays to record neural signals. Intracellular recordings with nanoelectrodes that penetrate the cell allow better signal quality and additional functions such as voltage clamping to set the neuron's transmembrane voltage. The voltage clamp aims to facilitate the...master thesis 2021

Lesichkov, Lassie (author)Companies have been looking for automation in their hiring practices and Artificial Intelligence offers a solution. A popular opinion on the topic is that AI-enabled hiring will enhance talent acquisition overall, eliminating bias and bettering results. However, deployed AI hiring tools often do not offer a solution but worsen the problem by...bachelor thesis 2021

Valeriano, Raoul (author)The current owners of the Scheveningen Pier are starting to head into the second phase of their exploitation plan, which is to replace the current pier. This new pier is larger than the current pier and can exploit at a higher level. This thesis creates a design for a new Scheveningen Pier. A design method is used, which combines the engineering...master thesis 2021

Speek, Michael (author)This research-by-design project provides designers with new strategies to design for sustained well-being.Positive activities have been proposed as the most promising starting point to improve well-being (Wiese et al., 2020). Currently, 14 activities have been identified (Lyubomirsky, 2007; Wiese et al., 2019). Avoiding...master thesis 2021

Theussing, Roy (author)Dawn Aerospace is developing a small launch vehicle in the form of a spaceplane, which is powered by a turbopump driven rocket. To reach higher engine efficiency and save weight, there is a need for a small highly-power dense turbine. The efficiency of small turbines strongly depends on the tip gap sizes compared to the blade height. Existing...master thesis 2021

Vonhoff, George (author)The demand for air travel is increasing as more people gain access to commercial aviation. As the current generation of aircraft makes use of fossil fuel combustion, this growth results in an increase in the global emissions. This is at odds with the worldwide efforts of reducing the adverse effects of climate change. Therefore, advanced...master thesis 2021

Fiorillo, Iolanda (author), Song, Y. (author), Vink, P. (author), Naddeo, Alessandro (author)Remaining seated for extended periods increases the risk health issues and discomfort perception. Consequently, the seat-pan design is crucial and could be mainly influenced by two factors: pressure distribution and seat contour. For seat pan discomfort, the lower average pressure is accompanied by less discomfort. Moreover, a seat contour...journal article 2021

Zwaginga, J.J. (author), Stroo, Ko (author), Kana, A.A. (author)To decrease Europe's harmful emissions, the European Union aims to substantially increase its offshore wind energy capacity. To further develop offshore wind energy, investment in ever-larger construction vessels is necessary. However, this market is characterised by seemingly unpredictable growth of market demand, turbine capacity and...journal article 2021

(author)The multi-dimensionality of BwN calls for the incorporation of ‘designerly ways of knowing and doing’ from other fields involved in this new trans-disciplinary approach. The transition out of a focus on rational design paradigms towards reflective design paradigms such as those employed in the spatial design disciplines may be a first step in...journal article 2021

Verbeeten, Gijs (author)During the past decade, the offshore wind energy industry evolved to bigger turbines, going into deeper waters and farther offshore. As bottom-fixed wind turbines are limited to shallow water depths, floating wind structures are the next frontier to unlock the vast potential of wind energy. Despite many techno-economic challenges, several full...master thesis 2020

van Aanholt, Levi (author)Procedural content generation (PCG) for architecture is widely used in a variety of digital media, most notably in games. However, such methods are often limited in their expressive range, and require considerable technical knowledge to create non-trivial architectural structures. We present a novel tile-based PCG approach for generating...master thesis 2020
