Inverse Reinforcement Learning (IRL) is a machine learning technique used for learning rewards from the behavior of an expert agent. With complex agents, such as humans, the maximized reward may not be easily retrievable. This is because humans are prone to cognitive biases. Cognitive biases are a form of deviation from rationality that affects...

In the engineering industry, all structural parts have to be designed as efficient and lightweight as possible. Traditionally, the design process has been carried out through manual design iterations, which can be time-consuming and require significant engineering expertise. Over the last decades however, several computational design techniques...

The energy system is changing and is becoming more important in the spatial-economic development of the Netherlands. The current energy planning system is insufficiently equipped to deal with these changes. Therefore transmission and distribution system operators, provinces and municipalities have come together in the process of integraal...

The transport sector remains one of the largest CO2 emitting sectors globally. Decarbonizing the transport sector is an important aspect in the energy transition. The word transition is key, since it will take several decades or more to transition to a fully sustainable world. During this transition mainly heavy-duty vehicles and probably most...

Ammonia (NH3) is a bulk commodity chemical known for its large production volumes and application in the global fertiliser industry, and is more recently being explored for its role as a sustainable energy vector. The industry standard ammonia production method is the century-old Haber-Bosch (HB) process, which is power by fossil fuels, and is...

In the last decades, climate change is causing our environment to change rapidly, unprecedented in recent history. Civil engineering structures are dependent on the deteriorating environment they are situated in. Changes can cause an increase in loading due to, for example, extreme weather events or alter the structure’s resistance by, for...

Ensuring the air we breathe is clean and healthy is one of the core tenets of developing a more sustainable living environment, but even in the Netherlands up to 11,000 premature deaths occur every year. These deaths could be reduced if the air quality standards outlined by the World Health Organization are met. To achieve these standards...

Frontal polymerization (FP) has emerged as a promising alternative to traditional bulk curing methods in recent years for manufacturing high-performance fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. The energy utilized in this self-propagating curing strategy is solely derived from the exothermic enthalpy of polymerization, making it potentially...

Architectural drawing was always a main tool for us – Architects. Transferring thoughts to paper is something that allows us to communicate our ideas and make them more tangible. But the drawing itself has another unique feature – it is always very personal. We all have an extraordinary imagination that allows us to become special creators and...

Policy making and the decision-making process has developed over the past decades to include more (scientific) evidence to support policy construction, such as the Cost-benefit Analysis or Environmental Impact Analysis. However, depending on the perspective of the policymaker as well as the evaluator, successful policies outcomes may be...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly occurring arrhythmia in clinical practice and can have a significant impact on the current and future wellbeing of the patient. By placing an unipolar sensor array directly on the epicardium during an open-heart surgery to measure the electrical activity of the atrium, more insight about this disease...

This thesis introduces a new method, called Mixed Iteration, for controlling Markov Decision Processes when partial information is known about the dynamics of the Markov Decision Process. The algorithm uses sampling to calculate the expectation of partially known dynamics in stochastic environments. Its goal is to lower the number of iterations...

The introduction of cloud hosting has made it possible to elastically provision distributed stream processing systems (SPEs). By dynamically scaling the different operators of the system, resource consumption can be minimised while meeting the system service-level objectives. In the literature, many different auto-scaling techniques are proposed...

Over the years the introduction of new Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) software into the design process allowed engineers to significantly shorten the time necessary to produce finished designs. There seems to be an agreement that using CAE tools shortens the time of the design process and improves the quality of finished products. Although,...
