Chen, Weiming (author)Research and development of motion control in the field of autonomous driving is significantly increasing nowadays. Model predictive control (MPC) is one of the most powerful and practical tools currently available. It is important to select the parameters of the MPC, such as weights, in a way so that different control objectives can be met...master thesis 2022

Ketelaar, Max (author)This thesis concerns the application of different multi-objective optimization (MOO) methods and strategies for finding the optimal envelope for a given building plot and lighting performance indicators. More specifically, the PV potential and daylighting potential of the building are maximized using different optimization solvers. Auxilliary...master thesis 2022

Azzahra Safira Suryanto, Azza (author)Urban Drainage Systems (UDS) are one of the most vital yet, complex infrastructures that support people's livelihood in urban areas. However, due to their mainly underground infrastructure and complexity, the planning and management of UDS are usually associated with high investment, which stakeholders sometimes overlook. As long-lived...master thesis 2021

Jans, Guusje (author)Background: In recent years, attention to the genetic architecture of normal-range variation in facial morphology has risen and through GWAS genetic loci associated with facial morphology have been identified. However these give no insight in how the face is shaped by genetics. To investigate the relationship between the genotype and the...master thesis 2021

van Arem, Koen (author)Tandem solar cells are a new type of solar cells that are currently being developed. Soms proporties of these solar cells are variable. In this scription, it is studied how genetic algoritms can be applied to optimize these tandem solar cells. Genetic algoritms are algorithms that find a good solution using the principles of evolution theory. It...bachelor thesis 2021

Brouwers, David (author)In this bachelor thesis we use a stochastic model to aspire to explain biodiversity patterns in different ecosystems with selection advantage. The stochastic model we use is an extension of the mean-field voter model where we include a selection factor. In the model individuals with two different types of alleles in two different ecosystems are...bachelor thesis 2021

Lucas, Francesca (author)Motivation: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a highly prevalent disease whose genetic risk factors remain largely unknown. One potential genetic risk factor is tandem repeat expansions, which have been associated with over 40 diseases, most of which affect the nervous system. Detecting VNTRs from short-read data is a challenging task, leaving many...master thesis 2021

van Ramshorst, Arjo (author)In recent years, recommender systems have become a fundamental part of our online experience. Users rely on such systems in situations with many potential choices, such as watching a movie on a streaming service, reading a blog post, or listening to a song. Traditionally, these systems use techniques such as collaborative filtering and content...master thesis 2021

Chandra, Anant (author)A Low-Pressure Micro-resistojet (LPM) is a type of in-space electrothermal propulsion system for satellites that works by heating low-pressure (50 to 300 Pa) fluid flowing through microchannels/slots (typically <1 mm diameter) using resistive heating elements like thin-film Molybdenum. This thesis delineates a response surface based method to...master thesis 2021

Nguyen, Thy Anh (author)A new approach is proposed which uses concepts of both the limit equilibrium method (LEM) and finite element method (FEM) to analyse slope stability. The main limitation of the LEM is that it can give an incorrect display of the initial stresses. The FEM is able to overcome this limitation, however, it uses the shear strength reduction method ...master thesis 2021

Gismondi, Roberta (author)Decision-making dynamics and their impact of human behaviour have raised a large number of questions throughout the years. Traits like competition and collaboration amongst agents are often studied, in the context of Game Theory, by the medium of games such as the Iterative Prisoners’ Dilemma.Furthermore, many realistic scenarios and possible...bachelor thesis 2021

Labay Mora, Adrià (author)Distribution of high-quality entanglement over long distances is a key step for the development of a future quantum internet. Exponential photon loss related to distance in optical fibres makes it impractical to connect two nodes directly. Furthermore, the impossibility of copying general quantum states forbids using the same solutions as in...master thesis 2021

Storm, Joep (author)Designing engineering structures relies on accurate numerical simulations to predict the behaviour of a structure before its realization. In the design process, many variables influence the final structure. There is an incentive for optimizing the design based on the desire for cheaper structures and less material usage. Although a wide variety...master thesis 2021

Koolman, George (author)The need for proper fast charging infrastructures is one of the key challenges for the wide adoption of elec- trical vehicles (EV). The high pulsating demand of fast charging stations (FCS) together with high demand tariffs can cause monthly DSO demand charges to account for a significant fraction of a station’s electric bill. Therefore,...master thesis 2020
