Identification & State Estimation for Lithium-ion Batteries: Hysteresis & Online OCV Estimation for NMC/Si-C Cells

Lithium-ion batteries are the dominant electrochemical energy storage device and are a key enabler of portable electronics and electric vehicles. However, the technology is often criticized for its use of rare metals. Extending the lifetime of lithium-ion batteries can allow for more time to develop rare metal recycling efforts but this requires...

Jump Markov Nonlinear System Identification in Multi-Sensor Target Tracking: A Novel Approach for Multiple Model Joint Tracking and Behavior Classification

The detection of unusual behavior plays a crucial role in the prevention of illegal and harmful activities such as smuggling, piracy, arms trading, human trafficking and illegal immigration. Also for military applications, it is useful to detect anomalous behavior to provide an alert for potential threats, especially with the more recent...

Improved Lens Aberration Estimation Using Model-Based Filtering, Applied to Lithographic DUV Imaging Systems

In this thesis a model-based filter is developed to improve the estimates of the lens aberrations.
