Chen, Y. (author)The scaling of CMOS technology in deep submicron process nodes is accompanied by the integration of more and more functional blocks of a system, whether digital or analog/RF, onto the same chip (i.e., system-onchip, SoC). These blocks would also place different requirements on their power supplies. To provide various static or dynamically...doctoral thesis 2022

Vermeer, M. (author), van Eeten, M.J.G. (author), Hernandez Ganan, C. (author)Notwithstanding the predicted demise of signature-based network monitoring, it is still part of the bedrock of security operations. Rulesets are fundamental to the efficacy of Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS). Yet, they have rarely been studied in production environments. We partner with a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) to...conference paper 2022

Chiba, Daiki (author), Akiyama, Mitsuaki (author), Otsuki, Yuto (author), Hada, Hiroki (author), Yagi, Takeshi (author), Fiebig, Tobias (author), van Eeten, M.J.G. (author)Security Operations Centers (SOCs) are in need of automation for triaging alerts. Current approaches focus on analyzing and enriching individual alerts. We take a different approach and analyze the population of alerts. In an observational study over 24 weeks, we find a surprising pattern: some domains get analyzed again and again by different...journal article 2022

Misdorp, Alexander (author)Visual perception is a pillar of human life. Visual impairment, therefore, has a severe impact on the quality of life. The Bioelectronic Interface to Sensory Cortex (BISC) project is aimed at building a system capable of both recording and stimulating neurons in order to remedy visual impairment. The proposed BISC system consists of three...master thesis 2019

Sanchez, Francisco (author), Cayenne, Joshua (author), González-Longatt, Francisco (author), Rueda, José L. (author)The increased adoption of renewable energy generation is reducing the inertial response of the Great Britain (GB) power system, which translates into larger frequency variations in both transient and pseudo-steady-state operation. To help mitigate this, National Grid, the transmission system operator in GB, has designed a control scheme...journal article 2019

Ahmadi Mehr, S.A.R. (author), Tohidian, M. (author), Staszeski, R.B. (author)In modern RF system on chips (SoCs), the digital content consumes up to 85% of the IC chip area. The recent push to integrate multiple RF-SoC cores is met with heavy resistance by the remaining RF/analog circuitry, which creates numerous strong aggressors and weak victims leading to RF performance degradation. A key such mechanism is injection...journal article 2015

Blutman, K. (author)This work introduces a low-power Cortex-M0+ based computing platform for battery-powered, embedded applications. Voltage stacking is used to save power by recycling charge through a power domain between 0V and Vdd, and a power domain stacked on top of it between Vdd and 2Vdd. The technique enables connecting chips of the future directly to the...master thesis 2014

Prabowo, A.H. (author)Software as a Service (SaaS) has been utilized as a means to deliver an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system since the last decade. This software delivery model enables Small Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) to outsource the system from vendors based on pay-per-use or pay-per-period without having to do prior investments. Yet, SaaS model is...master thesis 2012
