Zhou, J. (author), Kim, Raphael (author), Doubrovski, E.L. (author), Soares de Oliveira Martins, J. (author), Giaccardi, Elisa (author), Karana, E. (author)Microbes offer designers opportunities to endow artefacts with environmental sensing and adapting abilities, and unique expressions. However, microbe-embedded artefacts present a challenge of temporal dissonance, reflected by a “time lag” typically experienced by humans in noticing the gradual and minute shifts in microbial metabolism. This...conference paper 2023

Decouchant, Jérémie (author), Kulahcioglu Ozkan, Burcu (author), Zhou, Yanzhuo (author)Byzantine consensus protocols aim at maintaining safety guarantees under any network synchrony model and at providing liveness in partially or fully synchronous networks. However, several Byzantine consensus protocols have been shown to violate liveness properties under certain scenarios. Existing testing methods for checking the liveness of...conference paper 2023

Carrete, Israel A. (author), Ghodrat, S. (author), Scherer, Diana (author), Karana, E. (author)Plant root growth can be altered by introducing obstacles in the path of growth. This principle is used in design to produce planar grid structures composed of interweaving roots. The Engineered Plant Root Materials (EPRMs) grown with this method have the potential to serve as environmentally sensitive alternatives for conventional materials,...journal article 2023

Ruijs, Luca (author)The gap between planning and budgeting is a problem for improving health systems. In decentralisation health care services, authority, resources, and responsibilities are moved from central actors (i.e. national government) to peripheral actors (i.e. municipalities). Adding the risk of creating silos within sub-national governments, creating the...master thesis 2022
