de Zoete, Jasper (author)Visible light communication(VLC) is an emerging form of wireless communic- ation that uses visible light, where standard light sources such as LEDs serve as communication devices. Due to visible light bandwidths being significantly higher and underused, VLC offers an alternative to the more commonly used Radio Frequency(RF) devices. While VLC...master thesis 2023

Bouman, Jeffrey (author)The averse reaction of lithium batteries inspired researchers to look for alternat-<br/>ives for energy storage in electronics. Battery-free or intermittent devices intro-<br/>duce a new paradigm with their own specific problems about power, state track-<br/>ing, timing and communication. We implemented the battery-free paradigm in<br/>the...master thesis 2023

Camargo Cardozo, Laura (author)This graduation project investigates the relationship between care and community and reflects on the possible impact of these learnings on design practice. Care is a complex dimension of life, which entails the act of providing everything that is necessary for the maintenance and repair of the world (Tronto, 1993). From this perspective, we can...master thesis 2023

Stephens, Emlyn (author)Quantum communication provides a plethora of new possibilities compared to the realm of classical communication. Since the channels used are noisy, losses are unavoidable, and quantum repeaters are needed to transmit a signal over longer distances to overcome these exponential losses. To increase the performance of these repeaters, cutoff times...master thesis 2023

Maroquin, Serena (author)IAC will be developing a new Transportable Optical Ground Station (TOGS). It is a telescope that is intended to be used for quantum key distribution in a number of events. Using AO for free-space propagation stabilises the optical signal on a detector significantly, and maximises the received signal by returning near-diffraction limited...master thesis 2023

Wang, Xiangwen (author)Increasing wireless communication requirements of data rates, capacity and coverage, and evolution and maturation of wireless equipment prompt wireless communication research insight concentrating on millimeter wave (mm-wave) frequency. However, high reflection coefficients and high path loss cause large shadow areas (e.g. behind the buildings)...master thesis 2023

Gasten, Caroline (author)Recent Conflict Early Warning Systems have found little evidence of predictive power of drought indicators for conflict prediction. However, this may result from the context-specificity of the drought-conflict relationship, as stressed in the more recent climate-conflict literature.<br/><br/>The present thesis assesses the local role of...master thesis 2023

de Gooijer, Jessica (author)Reinforcement learning, especially deep reinforcement learning, has made many advances in the last decade. Similarly, great strides have been made in multi-agent reinforcement learning. Systems of cooperative autonomous robots are increasingly being used, for which multi-agent reinforcement learning can be used as a training method. However, the...master thesis 2023

van Oostrum, Joost (author)A novel new waveform is compared with two other existing waveforms to create a radar network. In this radar network one primary radar transmits a waveform for sensing and communication and one or multiple radars receive these waveforms. The constraint for the radars is that all radars can build up a radar picture and situation awareness. What...master thesis 2023

Paulusse, Pieter (author)The number of projects has increased immensely, as projects allow flexibility and can be widely applied. Even though that there has been an increase in the number of projects that are started, there is still a high number of projects that fail to meet the requirements. Project management has become an intensively researched topic, as it is an...master thesis 2023
