Prażmowski Baczyk, Juan Carlos (author)The world is in a climatic crisis. Extreme weather events are stronger and more frequent than ever before, exacerbated by human induced CO2 from energy production and the built environment. Only 5% of world energy is produced by renewable energy sources, presenting an enormous gap between sustainability and greenhouse gas emitting practices....master thesis 2023

Mooi, Martijn (author)In the near future, travelling in vehicles will no longer be in regular vehicles, but in automated vehicles. The share of automated vehicles is predicted to increase significantly within 20 years. Passengers in automated vehicles will engage in non-driving tasks, such as sleeping, reading, working or just otherwise spending time on their phone....master thesis 2023

van Rooijen, Eva (author)A recent study in The Netherlands, reports an expected shortage of 140,000 healthcare employees by 2031. Two main reasons for this shortage are an increased demand for healthcare and a shortage on the healthcare labour market. The irregular shifts and unconventional working hours make nurses quit their profession or refrain others from applying....master thesis 2023

Tatabitovska, Ana (author)Maximum Satisfiability (MaxSAT) is a known problem within the optimization field which has led many different solving approaches to be devised in the last several decades. From Linear Search to unsatisfiable core-based solvers, many MaxSAT algorithms rely on cardinality constraints to express how many soft clauses can be violated at most....master thesis 2023

Teertstra, Bouke (author)The company H2 Marine Solutions has designed a zero-emission hydrogen powered boat. This boat is compared to its fossil fuel counterpart more than twice as heavy. The reason for this is that the system components that are used in the hybrid powertrain of the hydrogen powered boat are heavier. The main question of this research is: How can we...master thesis 2023

Smeenk, Rutger (author)This research aims at quantifying the uncertainty in the predictions of tensor network constrained kernel machines, focusing on the Canonical Polyadic Decomposition (CPD) constrained kernel machine. Constraining the parameters in the kernel machine optimization problem to be a CPD results in a linear computational complexity in the number of...master thesis 2023

Dutruel, Benjamin (author)The startup Rocket Factory Augsburg (RFA) is developing the RFA ONE orbital launch vehicle. A significant hurdle for its closed-loop guidance is the need to fully deplete the third stage for insertion during the first flight, which results in lengthy burn-arcs and complexity not managed properly by traditional guidance algorithms. Additionally,...master thesis 2023

de Koe, Luka (author)As a result of ongoing climate change, urban environments are put under increasing pressure from extreme weather events. Insufficient research is being done into the modeling of urban drought resilience. Most urban drought resilience and water network optimization models are designed for city-scale demand with regional water supply networks and...master thesis 2023
