Fundamental Building Blocks for Phylogenetic Networks
Phylogenetic networks are a generalization of evolutionary trees that are used by biologists to represent the evolution of organisms which have undergone reticulate evolution. Essentially, a phylogenetic network is a directed acyclic graph having a unique root in which the leaves

TriLoNet
Piecing Together Small Networks to Reconstruct Reticulate Evolutionary Histories
Phylogenetic networks are a generalization of evolutionary trees that can be used to represent reticulate processes such as hybridization and recombination. Here, we introduce a new approach called TriLoNet (Trinet Level- one Network algorithm) to construct such networks directly

Haplotype Assembly for Future-Generation Sequencing Reads
The human genome is diploid, that is each of its chromosomes comes in two copies. This requires to phase the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), that is, to assign them to the two copies, beyond just detecting them. The resulting haplotypes, lists of SNPs belonging to each co

Box set optimization for e-commerce warehouses
Applied to bol.com
The problem considered in this thesis is the box set optimization problem. In
this problem the goal is to find the optimal dimensions of a number of shipping
boxes which have to provide an optimal fit on a set of items. The application
considered is e-commerce, and hence the numb

Optimizing Shunting Operations
A case-study at Kijfhoek shunting yard
In the current economy, there is an increasing focus on sustainability. Green transport solutions, like rail freight, are becoming more and more popular. We will look into the shunting operations at Kijfhoek shunting yard. This yard functions as the central hub for DB Cargo Neder

Optimising OR planning
Sequencing surgery groups while levelling bed occupancy
This research is conducted in collaboration with the Sophia Children's Hospital (SCH). The hospital wants to provide their patients with more detailed information about when a patient is approximately scheduled to have a surgery. The first step is to create a model which optimise

Multi-robot parcel sorting systems
Allocation and path finding
The logistics industry is being modernized using information technology and robots. This change encompasses a new set of challenges in warehouses. Recently, some companies have started using robot fleets to sort products and parcels. This thesis studies those systems, and researc

Forest-Based Binary Phylogenetic Networks
Finding Optimal Base Forests with Integer Linear Programming
Phylogenetic trees are commonly utilised in evolutionary biology. These trees represent the evolution of a set of species. In case of gene transfer however, a phylogenetic tree is insufficient. In such cases, tree-based phylogenetic networks are more suitable as they can depict r

Parental Parsimony on Phylogenetic Networks
Computing the Maximum Parsimony Scores of Phylogenetic Networks
Phylogenetic networks represent the evolutionary history of organisms and the relationships among them. In the field of phylogenetics research has been done to reconstruct these networks. Several methods for reconstructing those networks have been developed over the years. One of

Making phylogenetic networks orchard
Algorithms to determine if a phylogenetic network is orchard and to transform non-orchard to orchard networks
Phylogenetic networks are used to represent evolutionary histories of a set of taxa. In this thesis, we look at a certain network class, called orchard networks.
In the beginning of this thesis, definitions concerning phylogenetic networks and specifically orchard networks are i

Predicting Football Outcomes
With Bayesian Networks
In this thesis Bayesian Networks are used to predict European football matches between the years 2008 and 2016. The goal of this research is to see how the structures learned by different Bayesian Network learning algorithms influences the predictions. First the data is explored

Multi-attribute vehicle routing problems
Exploring the limits of exact methods in practice
The companies CQM and EVO-it work together to help many different companies with solving their vehicle routing problems. EVO-it provides the interface of the software that the companies can use for route planning and CQM provides the technology that is used to solve the route pla

Reconstruction of Phylogenetic Networks
An algorithm for deconstructing and reconstructing Level-2 Binary Networks based on their distances
Van Iersel, Moulton, and Murakami (2020) proved that a level-2 binary phylogenetic network can be uniquely reconstructed based on the matrix of mulitsets of the distances of the leaves. Using a handful of lemma’s each

Optimization in the Photolithography Bay
Scheduling and the Traveling Salesman Problem
In a semiconductor factory, integrated circuits (or chips) are constructed on top of slabs of silicon, called wafers. The construction of these wafers is complicated and many different processing steps are needed to gradually building the chip layer by layer. Of these steps, phot
