Magnetic Surface Microrollers for Endovascular Navigation
(2023)The accepted paradigm for drug delivery is the development of engineered drugs that can accurately target and deliver the cargo to the cells of interest. Unfortunately, the clinically used drug delivery systems currently suffer from non-specific distributions, which seems to be the major hurdle for treating diseases such as cancer. In that direction, mobile microrobots offer great promise for minimally invasive targeted medical applications ...Doctoral Thesis -

Sizing, Cost, and Emissions of Vehicle to Grid Coupled PV at District Scale
(2022)This thesis investigates the potential of PV and V2G coupling for the city of Singapore. Using Singapore’s 55 planning areas as spatial unit an optimization model is developed to determine economically optimal PV scaling and charge/discharge strategies. Mobility flows between planning areas are assessed using a large set of mobile phone records, and local electricity demand and solar potentials are modeled using a bottomup approach based ...Master Thesis -
Shared Mobility in MaaS Systems: A Supply and Demand Perspective
(2022)Transportation faces big challenges and major changes. Challenges relate to the increasing severity of the climate crisis, which is also caused by greenhouse gas emissions from transportation (26 % of EU-emissions). Cities in particular face further challenges such as competing interests for land-use and congestion, which is intensified by growing urban populations. Within the avoidshift-improve concept, much attention has been paid to ...Doctoral Thesis -

Evaluating foehn development in a changing climate using machine learning and investigating the impact of foehn on forest fire occurrence and severity
(2020)Foehn winds have a substantial impact on forest fires all over the world. However, two questions have remained unanswered to the foehn community over the last years. First, while accurate forecasts are viable at the timescale of numerical weather prediction, the long-term evolution of monthly foehn occurrence is still open to debate. Second, while many studies cited the importance of foehn winds on forest fires in single case studies, a ...Master Thesis -
Towards Automated Optimization-Driven Design of Soft, Rigid and Hybrid Robots
(2022)Compliance allows for adaptability, as has been demonstrated numerous times in nature, for instance through the elephant trunk or the octopus tentacles. While this insight has been the starting point of the recent field of soft robotics, rigidity remains prominent in robotic designs, and could help provide a load-bearing mechanical structure that some existing soft robots are lacking. Upon closer inspection, one can indeed see that nature ...Doctoral Thesis -
Privacy-Centric Systems for Stream Data Processing
(2022)In recent years we have seen unprecedented growth in networked devices and services that collect increasingly detailed information about individuals. This trend of large-scale data collection prompts various important challenges, including ensuring that the collected data is protected from data breaches and misuse. Although increasing public perception and expectations toward data privacy have led to new data privacy regulations, modern ...Doctoral Thesis -

Direct Access to Unprotected Primary Amines via Iron Catalysis
(2022)Nitrogen-containing molecules, particularly amines, play crucial roles within the molecular sciences. Despite their significance throughout the scientific community, the synthesis of these target molecules is often hampered by the challenging installation of the amino group. The majority of synthetic strategies consisted of the use of pre-functionalised building blocks and tedious protecting-group manipulations. To increase synthetic ...Doctoral Thesis -

The secreted kinase VLK is a regulator of lung organogenesis
(2022)Vertebrate Lonesome Kinase (VLK) is a secreted protein and responsible for phosphorylation of various secretory pathway-resident and extracellular proteins. Mice harboring a global knockout of the VLK gene (Pkdcc) die at birth, demonstrating an essential role of VLK during development. Furthermore, these mice exhibited a strongly hypoplastic lung, shorter bones and cleft palate. Their early postnatal lethality was most likely due to a ...Doctoral Thesis -
Low-temperature magneto-transport and X-ray metrology of ultra-thin group V doping layers in silicon: platforms for quantum science and technology
(2022)In 1947 the first field-effect-transistor was invented, since then the miniaturisation of semiconductor electronics has enabled the sustained exponential growth in the density of transistors in integrated circuits, know as Moore's law. The advent and refinement of the transistor is arguably one of, if not the most, important inventions of the past century. So far the challenges in reducing transistors' dimensions were mostly related to ...Doctoral Thesis
