Safe planning problem arises in many applications including autonomous driving and exploration scenarios. In this thesis, we focus on a particular case studied for emergency rescue missions. The main challenge of such problems is the computational complexity of handling a dynamic uncertainty, e.g., a spreading hazard. A multi-agent extension can potentially improve the safety of the mission. However, it further increases the computational ...

The development of X-ray detectors is essential for almost all fields of research using synchrotron radiation. With more powerful synchrotrons and X-ray Free Electron Lasers, the need for new detectors becomes more evident in order to extend the current limits. The new detectors must be able to cope with high photon flux, allow for fast, time-resolved measurements and cover a large energy range for the huge variety of experiments in the ...
