Waste Characterization & Quantification & Composting - Cape Maclear, Malawi
(2024)This study examines the challenges of waste management, soil quality and food security in Cape Maclear, Malawi. Rising waste volumes, inadequate waste treatment, as well as declining soil quality and rising fertiliser prices are putting pressure on villagers, their agricultural activities and threatening food security. The research questions aim to investigate the sizen and composition of waste streams, the current disposal routes of the ...Master Thesis -
Understanding and quantifying the factors determining potential worst-case heat anomalies
(2024)Over recent decades, many unprecedented heat extremes have been recorded, resulting in devastating impacts on the environment, society, and economy. However, while the proximal causes of moderate heatwaves are clear (anticyclonic large-scale flow situations, subsiding air and clear skies, dry soils, and amplified land-atmosphere interactions), the physical processes that differentiate the potential worst-case heatwaves from somewhat ...Master Thesis -

Iterative Learning Control for Highway Traffic Control
(2024)In the modern world, congestion on the highway has become a significant social problem due to the increasing number of vehicles. This leads to considerable waste of time and pollution. On the other hand, service stations play an important role in affecting the congestion on highways. In this project, we aim to study the effect of controlling the outflow of the service station on the overall congestion on the highway. Moreover, the vehicle ...Master Thesis -
Construction of a Glass Crusher and Evaluation of Waste Valorization Pathways for Cape Maclear, Malawi
(2024)In Cape Maclear, Malawi, a nonprofit organization called Sustainable Cape Maclear has been working on the development and implementation of a solid waste management strategy to address the village’s struggle with waste build-up at informal dumpsites. The desired outcome is an improved quality of life for the community and the preservation of the village’s status quo as one of the country’s major tourist destinations. To support the effort, ...Master Thesis -

Computing the Poisson-Binomial Distribution for Soccer Match Outcomes
(2024)In soccer analytics, the Poisson-Binomial distribution is used to obtain the probabilities of the possible match scores of a team. This is an important distribution for analysts, because it allows for construction of new descriptive metrics and further meta-analysis. This work outlines the theoretical background of the Poisson-Binomial distribution, hoists it into the context of soccer analytics, while also providing content on the ...Bachelor Thesis -
Quantify the Unquantifiable: Social Framework for a Regenerative Built Environment
(2024)Certification and rating systems aim to reduce harm. However, they still fall under a degenerating system, resulting in incremental changes. This highlights the need to shift towards regenerative systems to create a positive impact. Blockchain technology can address design structures and mental models highlighted by regenerative design principles. Therefore, this study explores how blockchain technology can facilitate the transition from ...Master Thesis
