van Dongen, Elize (author), Houben, Tom (author), Kwa, Cecile (author), de Man, Max (author), Meinema, Guus (author), van Vliet, Juwe (author)This research addresses how Ricanau Mofo, a low-lying village in Surinam, can become a more water-adaptive and sustainable village, while it faces land erosion, river bank erosion, changing rainfall patterns and sea level rise. It is urgent to intervene, as these issues are expected to increase in occurrence due to climate change. Constraints...student report 2023

Mengel, Fynn (author)Boden – a German term that can refer to soil and land, ground and floor, territory and habitat. Overhearing Boden in Berlin’s streets these days will, however, oftentimes result in tuning into a conversation about land ownership, the soaring cost of living and the city in transition. People, it seems, are worried. They are increasingly affected...master thesis 2023

Heikens, Sybren (author)Background<br/>The availability of medical ultrasound imaging is still limited in low- and middle-income countries, despite its potential impact on patient outcomes. This problem partially manifests in the limited availability of trained physicians due to the unequal distribution of physicians between rural and urban areas in India. Robotic...master thesis 2023

van den Berg, Jesper (author)Capabilities and limitation of topic modeling were explored through a literature review. A design opportunity was recognized in literature review for students as novice researchers. Interviews were held with master students to gain insight in their literature review process. Students reported issues with the process of related document...master thesis 2023

Aleo, Ottavia (author)Improving sustainability in industrial processes is a key topic for the welfare of the environment. One of the major environmental problems caused by industrial processes is industrial waste production. In the automotive industry, the use of polymers such as PA12 for prototyping produces tons of waste per year which are generally destined to...master thesis 2023

Dokter, Giliam (author), Boks, Casper (author), Rahe, Ulrike (author), Jansen, B. (author), Hagejärd, Sofie (author), Thuvander, Liane (author)To bridge the gap between the conceptualisation and implementation of circular value propositions, recent research efforts have focused on linking design-driven approaches with circular-oriented innovation. Such approaches can facilitate iterative processes that emphasise co-creation, prototyping, and real-life experimentation, ultimately...journal article 2023

Buso, A. (author), McQuillan, H.L. (author), Voorwinden, M. (author), Karana, E. (author)A woven textile-form is a form that is constructed simultaneously as the textile is woven. Interfaces designed with this approach hold undisclosed potential for rich interactions. However, the design of woven textile-form interfaces requires specialised tacit knowledge, which is limited even in craft and practice spaces; and it is therefore...conference paper 2023
