jiao, weiping (author)This thesis investigates the all-copper fine pitch bonding process with photoimageable underfill. NanoCU paste is used as interconnect material. A bi-layer photo resist structure is manufactured and lithographic stencil printing is used to apply nanoCu paste. A new underfill injection method is realized by using epoxy resin based photo resist as...master thesis 2022

Tao, T. (author)This thesis deals with the adaptive control of interconnected systems and multi-agent systems, where adaptive control is used to deal with the presence of uncertainties. Generally, two types of uncertainties can occur. The first one is parametric uncertainty, which is most commonly addressed in the literature, and for which several design...doctoral thesis 2022

Bokhorst, Rik (author)Front-end Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMICs) have recently become commercially available for frequencies above 100 GHz. However, achieving low-loss and broadband interconnections between the antenna and MMICs is challenging for integrated front ends at these frequencies. This thesis presents the characterization of a flip-chip...master thesis 2022

Kluba, M.M. (author)The progress in the field of neurostimulation is impressive, both from a technical as well as from a therapeutic point of view. Nowadays, the electrical stimulation of the nervous system can be used to induce or suppress muscle responses. Additionally, it can also influence hearing, vision, immune system response, pain perception, and even...doctoral thesis 2022

Li, J. (author), Li, Chenhui (author), Henneken, Vincent (author), Louwerse, Marcus (author), Van Rens, Jeannet (author), Dijkstra, Paul (author), Raz, Oded (author), Dekker, R. (author)The digitization of smart catheters will dramatically increase the demand for reliable and high data transmission in the distal tips. Optical fiber is a good candidate to provide high-speed data transmission. However, the extremely small size of the smart catheter tip, with less than a few millimeters in diameter, hampers the integration of...journal article 2022

Kougiatsos, N. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Reppa, V. (author)This paper proposes a distributed model-based methodology for the detection and isolation of sensor faults in marine fuel engines. The proposed method considers a Mean Value First Principle model and a wide selection of heterogeneous sensors for monitoring the engine components. The detection of faults is realised based on residuals generated...journal article 2022

Kougiatsos, N. (author), Reppa, V. (author)This paper proposes a virtual sensor scheme designed to compensate for sensor fault effects in marine fuel engines. The proposed scheme design follows a distributed approach, where the marine fuel engine is decomposed in several subsystems. Then, for each subsystem we design a monitoring agent that can actively compensate for the effects of...journal article 2022

Keijzer, T. (author), Gallo, A.J. (author), Ferrari, Riccardo M.G. (author)In this paper we present a hierarchical scheme to detect cyber-attacks in a hierarchical control architecture for large-scale interconnected systems (LSS). We consider the LSS as a network of physically coupled subsystems, equipped with a two-layer controller: on the local level, decentralized controllers guarantee overall stability and...conference paper 2022

Pavlov, Alexey (author), Steur, E. (author), van de Wouw, Nathan (author)This paper presents a novel approach to (controlled) synchronization of networked nonlinear systems. For classes of identical single-input–single-output nonlinear systems and networks, including oscillator networks, we propose a systematic design procedure (with generic as well as constructive conditions) for specifying nonlinear coupling...journal article 2022

Spyridon, Trikalitis (author), Lavidas, G. (author), Kaldellis, John K (author)The energy needs of most Aegean islands are covered by the operation of autonomous/local power stations (APS/LPS) using imported oil. The costly operation of the APS/LPS combined with the resulting environmental problems, set the issue of a sustainable and rational energy solution mainly for the remote islands, showing respect to the sensitive...conference paper 2021

Alfaro Barrantes, J.A. (author), Mastrangeli, Massimo (author), Thoen, David (author), Visser, Sten (author), Bueno Lopez, J. (author), Baselmans, J.J.A. (author), Sarro, Pasqualina M (author)This paper describes the microfabrication and electrical characterization of aluminum-coated superconducting through-silicon vias (TSVs) with sharp superconducting transition above 1 K. The sharp superconducting transition was achieved by means of fully conformal and void-free DC-sputtering of the TSVs with Al, and is here demonstrated in up...journal article 2021
