Sun, H. (author), Yang, M. (author), Wang, Haiqing (author)Chemical process systems are becoming more automated and complex, which leads to increased interaction and interdependence between the human and technical elements of process systems. This urges the need for updating the safety assessment method by treating “safety” as an emergent property of a system. Uncertainty comes together with...journal article 2024

Gürsan, C. (author), de Gooyert, V. (author), de Bruijne, M.L.C. (author), Raaijmakers, J. (author)District heating systems are considered a feasible heating alternative to replace natural gas to mitigate emissions in cities. However, urban transitions are very complex because energy systems often operate in densely populated areas, which gives rise to all kinds of interdependencies in cities. These interdependencies can result in...journal article 2024

Ooms, Simone (author), Röggla, Thomas (author), Cesar, Pablo (author), El Ali, Abdallah (author)Within our Distributed and Interactive Systems research group, we focus on affective haptics, where we design and develop systems that can enhance human emotional states through the sense of touch. Such artificial haptic sensations can potentially augment and enhance our mind, body, and (virtual) social connections. In three works—voice...journal article 2024

Wilcox, A.Y. (author), Mota, Nelson (author), Haffner, M.E.A. (author), Elsinga, M.G. (author)The South African Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP) was initiated to provide subsidised housing for low‐income families. However, the programme faced challenges in establishing adequate technical guidelines and standards, resulting in subpar housing quality. This article discusses the multifaceted nature of subsidised housing design...journal article 2024

(author)Introduction: Robot-assisted surgery is often performed by experienced laparoscopic surgeons. However, this technique requires a different set of technical skills and surgeons are expected to alternate between these approaches. The aim of this study is to investigate the crossover effects when switching between laparoscopic and robot-assisted...journal article 2023

Gürsan, C. (author), de Gooyert, V. (author), de Bruijne, M.L.C. (author), Rouwette, E. (author)Cities are increasingly recognized as potential motors of sustainability transitions. These transitions build on existing as well as new infrastructures, and these infrastructures mutually influence each other in many ways, a phenomenon known as infrastructure interdependencies. These infrastructure interdependencies have significant...journal article 2023

Liu, Z. (author), Schraven, D.F.J. (author), de Jong, Martin (author), Hertogh, M.J.C.M. (author)Rapid global urbanization, urban renewal and changes in people's lifestyles have led to both an increase in waste generation and more complex waste types. In response to these changes, many local governments have invested in municipal solid waste infrastructure (MSWI) to implement circular strategies. However, matching and bridging the costly...journal article 2023

Wang, N. (author)The pledge for a carbon-free energy system in 2050 requires significant investments into renewable energy sources (RES). The relevant questions are: what technologies to select, where to build them, how much the capacities are, and at what cost. In order to answer these techno-economic questions, optimization models are commonly used to sketch a...doctoral thesis 2022

Luteijn-Nava Guerrero, G.D.C. (author)In the Netherlands, a complex heat transition is taking place. Currently, the country's built environment largely relies on natural gas for heating. By 2050, the housing sector should, in principle, be free of this fuel. Changes in laws, policies, regulations, and technical solutions to achieve this goal will be challenging. Their implementation...doctoral thesis 2022
