Long, Youyuan (author)In Inverse Optimization (IO), it is hypothesized that experts, when making decisions, implicitly engage in solving an optimization problem. If we can reconstruct this optimization problem using the decision data of the expert, then the behavior of the expert can be emulated. In this thesis, a novel inverse optimization model, Kernel Inverse...master thesis 2024

mastropietro, elena (author)Climate change is a very urgent issue for our society. The European Union’s commitment is increasing, as evidenced by the Paris Agreement, and individual nations are also developing strategies to become emission-free within the next few years. This has renewed interest in hydrogen, particularly that produced through electrolysis, as a complement...master thesis 2023

van der Horst, Gerben (author)Urban mobility is challenged with increasing demand, while at the same time reducing emissions, without leading to an unpleasant living environment. Reducing the number of stops on the urban arterial controlled by the coordinated traffic controller can provide (part of) the solution to these challenges for urban mobility. Coordinated traffic...master thesis 2022

van Kouwen, Niels (author)Many sand spits are morphodynamically complex cases that are hard to quantify. Therefore, most case studies on sand spits in a specific type of environment, are descriptive or even non-existent. As is the case for spits in low-energy lake environments, like the two spits at the Marker Wadden islands. Because quantification is necessary for spits...master thesis 2022

Jousma, Sjoerd (author)This thesis is inspired by Active Inference to contribute to its improvement in the Robotics work field. However, the results and applications of this thesis are useful in a broader perspective, namely in any field that makes use of derivatives and the forecasting of a time-series signal. The goal of this study is to determine a new approach for...master thesis 2022

de Heus, Martijn (author)Lately, serverless computing has gained much attention. Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) is the most prominent serverless model. The FaaS model allows cloud users to write simple functions, and the cloud provider takes care of the deployment, main- tenance, and scalability of those functions. However, FaaS can be improved upon significantly....master thesis 2021
