Wigchert, Lisanne (author)Annually, around 180,000 cardiac ablation procedures are performed as a result of people experiencing cardiac arrhythmia’s. During this ablation procedure, an ablation catheter is used to scar the problematic cardiac tissue after which the arrhythmia will stop. The ablation catheter is discarded after one single use. Incineration of these...master thesis 2023

Dialani, Hitesh (author)This thesis presents a practical topology for achieving highly efficient dual-side wireless power transfer (WPT). Traditional WPT systems with a diode rectifier on the secondary side lack flexibility in load matching, requiring the integration of an additional dc/dc converter at the back end. However, this approach leads to increased power...master thesis 2023

Linders, Koen (author)The transportation sector is moving towards a green future with a rapidly growing EV market and consequently, the demand for EV chargers is rising too. With the increased interest in 800V batteries and the current presence of 400V and 600V batteries, the voltage range for EV chargers is wide (150V-1000V). In this thesis, a wide-output EV charger...master thesis 2023

Mostafa Mohamed Abdelsadek Elshourbagy, Mostafa (author)Aromatic compounds have always been of concern regarding their toxicity to living organisms, including microorganisms. With more anthropogenic activities (e.g. coal gasification), the need for feasible treatment of industrial effluents is highly prioritised. With the anaerobic degradation process being a competitive solution, these compounds’...master thesis 2023

Saravanakumar, Karthikeyan (author)The chemistry of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) is one of the main factors affecting its reactivity. Knowing the composition of GGBFS used in aged concrete may help understand its past performance and estimate remaining service life. It is well known that GGBFS generally react slower than cement clinker. This thesis proposes that...master thesis 2023

van Beek, Max (author)In recent decades Europe has been increasing its demand and consumption of electronics. This has in turn resulted in major outflows of waste electronics (WEEE) that are usually not properly dealt with. This is especially the case for low to medium grade printed circuit boards (PCBs) which unlike higher grade electronics such as computers are...master thesis 2022

Cerviño Fungueiriño, David Cervino (author)Quantum computers exploit the quantum behavior of quantum bits (qubits) that are typically operated at cryogenic temperature. Qubits require an electronic control interface. Nowadays, such classical electronic controllers use bulky instruments operated far fromthe qubits outside the cryostat. To run practical quantum algorithms, thousands to...master thesis 2022
