Zou, Yanghuan (author)Machine learning models offer promising potential in precipitation nowcasting. However, a common issue faced by many of these models is the tendency to produce blurry precipitation nowcasts, which are unrealistic. Previous research on the deep learning model - TrajGRU (Shi et al., 2017) indicated that data imbalance in radar images and the...master thesis 2023

Holtgrefe, Tim (author)Microtubules are long cylindrical polymers, assembled from tubulin proteins. Microtubule ends can be visualized using fluorescence and confocal microscopy. This allows for the study of microtubule dynamics. However, the manual annotation of microtubules is laborious, which is why automated tracking methods are used. In this project we have...bachelor thesis 2023

Schuurman, Kevin (author)The use of deep learning in global weather forecasting has shown significant promise in improving both forecasting accuracy and speed. Traditional numerical weather prediction models have gradually improved forecasting skills but at the cost of increased computational complexity. In contrast, new deep learning models, trained directly on...master thesis 2023

Wang, Zhiyi (author)Deep-learning models are commonly used in short-term precipitation forecasting. However, most deep-learning models are likely to produce blurry output problems. In order to get realistic and accurate results, AENN, a variant of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), has been developed. The AENN implements an additional temporal discriminator to...master thesis 2022

Karayalçin, Sengim (author)Some of the most prominent types of attacks against modern cryptographic implementations are side-channel attacks. These attacks leverage some unintended, often physical, leakage of the implementation to retrieve secret information. In recent times, a large part of the focus of side-channel research has been on deep learning methods. These...master thesis 2022
