Liscio, E. (author)Human values are the abstract motivations that drive our opinions and actions. AI agents ought to align their behavior with our value preferences (the relative importance we ascribe to different values) to co-exist with us in our society. However, value preferences differ across individuals and are dependent on context. To reflect diversity in...doctoral thesis 2024

Wijermars, Ronald (author)An artificial retina can replace some of the functionality of the eye in people that have experienced partial or complete loss of vision. Loss of vision is associated with many negative effects in one’s life and can be a debilitating condition. Artificial retinas in the form of a chip thus offer the potential to greatly improve people’s lives....master thesis 2024

van der Slikke, R.M.A. (author), de Leeuw, Arie-Willem (author), de Rooij, Aleid (author), Berger, M.A.M. (author)Within rehabilitation, there is a great need for a simple method to monitor wheelchair use, especially whether it is active or passive. For this purpose, an existing measurement technique was extended with a method for detecting self- or attendant-pushed wheelchair propulsion. The aim of this study was to validate this new detection method by...journal article 2024

Tan, T. (author), Mills, Grant (author), Papadonikolaki, E. (author)Modularity is an approach to simplify systems and reduce complexity. However, existing research suggests that a mono-dimensional modularity strategy, focusing solely on one dimension, such as product, process, or organization, might not fully achieve these goals in design activities. This research investigates how combining strategies from...journal article 2024

(author)Organic micropollutants (OMPs) enter the aquatic environment via municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). As conventional WWTPs have limited capacity for the removal of OMPs, additional processes are required, like ozone - granular activated carbon (GAC) filtration. A specific lay-out of this process is the O3-STEP® process, in which the...journal article 2024
