Characterization of the Hillslope-Fluvial Transition and its Influence on Landscape Evolution
(2020)Landscape evolution models are numerical representations of the topography response to climate, uplift, and rock properties. This response is controlled by the acting surface processes which are often limited to hillslopes processes and fluvial incision. Based on this, LEMs provide a method for testing the efficiency of erosion processes and the drainage patterns they shape. However, in steep catchments, channels incised by debris flows ...Master Thesis -
Visualizing BGP RIB Changes into Forwarding Plane by Leveraging BMP and IPFIX
(2020)At its core, the Internet and modern large-scale data centers use BGP as its main control-plane protocol to exchange routing and reachability information among its peers. BGP has been around for decades and has seen countless updates and extensions to support the growing number of use cases and ever increasing demands. The desire to gain deeper insights into the internal states of BGP prompted the introduction of the BGP Monitoring Protocol ...Master Thesis -
Exploring the Utility of Fine-Tuned Transformer Embeddings in Machine Learning Guided Directed Evolution
(2020)Directed Evolution is one of the most powerful tools for protein engineering, which functions through repeated mutagenesis in the sequence space and screening for desired properties such as increased reactivity, higher thermal stability, and stricter stereoselectivity. However, by increasing the number of sites for mutagenesis, the combinatorial sequence space grows exponentially, which means with even a few mutating sites, exploring the ...Master Thesis -

Applying Machine Learning to Detect and Enhance Fractures from GPR-reflection data
(2020)The recent demand for renewable energies has sparked interest in geothermal energy in Switzerland. In order to have the most efficient energy transition possible, knowledge of the environment where this type of energy can be extracted is needed. The Bedretto Underground Laboratory for Geo-Energies (BULG) provides such an environment, consisting of crystalline rock masses with fractures and faults. These fractures and faults are the primary ...Master Thesis -
Effects of radio-frequency field inhomogeneity on MAS solid-state NMR experiments
(2020)NMR experiments rely on the manipulation of nuclear spins using resonant radio-frequency (rf) fields. Different coil designs have been developed to generate these fields. In solid-state NMR probes, solenoid coils wound around the rotor inside the magic-angle-spinning (MAS) stator are most commonly used. The field generated by such a coil is inhomogeneous and depends on the position within the sample space. This rf inhomogeneity is a ...Master Thesis -
Dynamic drivers of heat and moisture transport into the Arctic
(2020)The poleward flow of energy into the Arctic plays a fundamental role for thermodynamic processes and strongly influences synoptic weather features in the Arctic. In this study, we analyse atmospheric dynamical drivers of anomalous poleward latent heat transport in the Arctic. Besides, we study the influence of anomalous moisture transport on surface temperature, cloud cover and precipitation. The correlation between weekly zonal mean ...Master Thesis -
