Scatterometry is a non-destructive metrology technique widely used in the semiconductor industry for the reconstruction of periodic structures from diffraction measurements. This involves solving a so-called inverse problem, which can be done by tuning the geometry parameters of a forward model such that the discrepancy between the measured...

The goal of radiotherapy is to maximize the dose to the target while minimizing the dose to normal tissue. Treatment plans are optimized for this goal and dose delivery is improved in accuracy and precision. The optimization is based on the delineations of the volumes of interest on the medical images of the patient. The problem is that these...

In light of worsening climate change and an increased interest in adapting infrastructure to cope with its effects, model-based decision support has become an essential tool for policy makers. In conditions of deep uncertainty, models may be used to explore a large space of possible system behaviours and so encourage a wider consideration of the...

Aircraft maintenance methods are shifting from conservative maintenance approaches such as a periodic maintenance approach towards predictive maintenance approaches, leading to a reduction of costs, less unexpected aircraft-on-ground events and less wasted useful life of components. In this paper, we propose a new remaining useful life...

The delineation of the regions of interest (ROIs) plays an important role in the radiotherapy workflow. The ROIs include the gross tumor volume (GTV), the clinical target volume (CTV), the planning target volume (PTV) and organs at risk (OARs). There are however uncertainties related to the delineation of the ROIs due to inter­observer...

This research aims to develop a method to create a wind farm layout that is robust against the uncertainty source, the inter-year variation of Weibull parameters and wind direction sector probabilities. A wind farm layout optimisation problem under uncertainty corresponds to optimisation under uncertainty (OUU), which is computationally...

In proton therapy, robust treatment planning is currently used to account for uncertainties in patient alignment and proton beam range. A way to overcome the limitations of robust treatment planning is to use probabilistic treatment planning, which can be computationally expensive due to the calculations of statistical measures of stochastic...

Radiotherapy is an important treatment type for patients with cancer. An advantage of state of the art proton therapy with respect to traditional photon therapy is the spatial energy deposition of protons, which is characterized by the Bragg peak. Due to this particular course of energy deposition, the tumor can be irradiated more precisely and...

Surrogate models are used to approximate the expensive ‘true’ simulation codes and thus have the potential to speed up the wind farm layout optimisation problem (WFLOP). One technique to make surrogate models is Polynomial Chaos Expansion (PCE). PCE can approximate a (wind farm) model by using orthogonal polynomials which are constructed based...
