This thesis explores the measurement of low sediment concentrations in pipeline flows, a critical issue in deep-sea mining. The study aims to identify and validate a continuous measurement method capable of accurately detecting suspended sediment concentrations between 10-75 g/L. ...

Modelling changing travel behaviour in response to road capacity reductions

The impact of reallocating road space in urban areas on car use

As cities increasingly prioritize sustainable and low-car urban environments, road capacity reductions have become a widely applied policy measure. While traditional transport models predict severe congestion resulting from such interventions, empirical studies suggest that traff ...
The retail perfume industry often lacks the multi-sensory engagement needed to frame the perception of a fragrance and thus facilitate the fragrance selection process. Scent is very ambiguous and needs cues from other senses to better place a scent (Pierzchajlo et al., 2024). Thi ...
The development of offshore wind farms has demonstrated significant value in harnessing renewable energy sources. However, the offshore wind energy sector faces increasing challenges, making the realization of new wind farms a greater financial risk. This has reached the point wh ...

SMURF: a Methodology for Energy Profiling Software Systems

Simulate and Measure to Understand Resource Footprints

Understanding the energy profile of a complex, multi-faceted software system is difficult. In this thesis, we present a novel methodology, called SMURF, a five-step methodology that gives insights into the energy consumption of a complex system. The methodology is broadly applica ...
The reputation of personal luxury brands has undergone a significant transformation since 2018, with the industry experiencing a reputation recession followed by an uneven reputation renaissance. This shift underscores a deeper misalignment between luxury brands and the evolving ...
This report covers the findings and considerations for the development of a reconfigurable bicycle battery pack with replaceable pouch cells.

On the path to net zero, electric vehicles will play a major role in the energy transition. As a result, battery demand is expect ...
This thesis was conducted within Aerospace Propulsion Products, a company specialized in rocket engine igniters and Parachute Deployment Devices (PDDs) for space applications. The objective of this research was to develop a high-fidelity numerical model in Python capable of accur ...
Synthetic image generation involves the creation of artificially generated images that are indistinguishable from real ones. This field is an answer to challenges in the world of data acquisition, where the need for data is outpacing the availability. In cooperation with Philips ...

Towards Generative AI-powered Engineering of Critical Systems

Reverse Engineering Tool for Knowledge Based Engineering Applications & Ideation Matrix for AI-powered Automation Systems

The integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in engineering presents both opportunities and challenges, particularly in complex, safety-critical systems. This thesis explores two key aspects: (1) developing an AI-powered reverse engineering tool for Knowledge-Bas ...

Prepared Care for Discharge

Designing the First Steps to Improve the Hospital Discharge Process for Oncology Patients and Their Close Loved ones

Patients staying in the oncology department have to deal with fears and worries about their treatment, diagnosis and the effects it brings on their life and those around them. These fears and worries remain often hidden, due to patients needing time to open up about them and heal ...

Flood Resilience Quantification based on Hydrodynamic Conditions

A case study of the Ablasserwaard in The Netherlands

Flood risk management has traditionally been centered around economic damages and casualty assessments, providing a basis for preventive measures like levees. However, with increasing climate change-induced weather extremes, a shift toward flood resilience is necessary. This shif ...

Striving towards a shorter security queue

A stated choice experiment on the timeslot reservation system at Schiphol Amsterdam Airport

This thesis researches passenger preferences regarding the security time slot reservation system at Schiphol Airport. This study is motivated by the fact that time slots are currently used less than expected by Schiphol, while time slots aught to be one of the solutions for the r ...

Feeling Home

Opening up to the variety of flavours of living together in Woonontwikkeling Vredeoord

The assignment for this graduation project was to develop a tool for residents to “step into each other’s worlds”. The project is a side track of the Bubble Games project, here VR technology is used to let people step into each other’s world to understand each other better. My ch ...

Implementing Location-Optimal Battery Storage in the Dutch Energy System

A case for the Dutch Transmission System Operator TenneT

This study investigates the impact of spatial constraints and economic land-use considerations on the optimal placement of large-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) within the Dutch high-voltage (HV) grid. In the rapid transformation of the Dutch electricity system—charac ...
Child helplines provide a platform for children facing serious challenges, allowing them to share their stories and receive emotional support and guidance through counselling sessions. To ensure that volunteers are well prepared for these interactions, effective training programm ...

Facade of the Future

A Regenerative Solution for Urban Areas

Urban areas are facing more and more challenges these days, such as the Urban Heat Island Effect, the loss of biodiversity, extreme rainfall and unsustainable resource use.
This project aims to design a solution: a regenerative facade panel. The Material Driven Design Method ...
With the ever-growing semi-conductor market the need for more advanced and faster chips rises. To keep the steady trend of Moore’s law going, which states that the transistors on a microchip double every two years, the micro chip manufacturing processes have to become more and mo ...
Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) have become crucial for providing Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) services worldwide. Existing GNSS constellations such as GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo operate in Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) at around 20,000 km altitude. Low ...

Artificial Reefs: Effects on Wave Transformation and In-Canopy Flow

Insights from Large-Scale Wave Flume Experiments of a Fringing Reef

Coral reefs play a crucial role in coastal protection and ecosystem sustainability. However, they face increasing threats from sea-level rise, ocean warming, and acidification. While coral reef restoration is often proposed as a means to reduce coastal hazards, there remains insu ...
