Wang, X. (author)Urban areas face a variety of ecological challenges in their development. To improve urban ecology, strategic use of vegetation, particularly trees, is essential. As the amount of land available in cities decreases, the combination of buildings with vertically planted trees has become a popular way to increase urban greenery. However, this...doctoral thesis 2024

Tao, T. (author), Roy, Spandan (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author), Baldi, S. (author)In this work we propose a new practical synchronization protocol for multiple Euler Lagrange (EL) systems without structural linear-in-the-parameters (LIP) knowledge of the uncertainty and where the agents can be interconnected before control design by unknown state-dependent interconnection terms. This setting is meant to overcome two...journal article 2024

van Asselt, Maartje (author)Indonesia started its journey towards a net-zero energy system. Research and developments towards these targets are currently well underway. However, present-day prediction models show that the rising demand of the island will not be met with the renewable energy technology potential. One solution for this problem is the development of power...master thesis 2023

Devia Pinzon, C.A. (author)An interconnected system is composed of multiple well-defined self-contained subsystems that interact among them and that together create collective behaviours. We can find many examples of interconnected systems in real life. Ranging from biological systems, such as the growth and interaction of populations in diverse and spatially distributed...doctoral thesis 2023

Tao, Lucy (author)Vascularisation is a critical factor in large-scale tissue engineering, as it supports the survival of cells in large tissue constructs. In native tissue, a hierarchical vascular network is present where larger vessels transport nutrients and oxygen throughout the body, and smaller capillaries facilitate blood-tissue exchange. In large-scale...master thesis 2023
