On the finiteness of simple Eta-quotients of fixed weight or fixed level.
(2024)This Bachelor's thesis is concerned with the (holomorphic) modular forms one can obtain from rescaling Dedekind's $\eta$-function and taking quotients of these rescalings, so-called $\eta$-quotients. Eta-quotients are of interest because they are explicit examples of holomorphic modular forms to some congruence subgroup with some multiplier system. They even provide examples of holomorphic modular forms of any weight $k \in \frac{1}{2}\ ...Bachelor Thesis -
Bayesian Optimization for Vagus Nerve Stimulation & Development of a High Performance Computing Simulation Pipeline
(2023)In this work, we embark on exploring the application of Bayesian optimization to vagus nerve stimulation (VNS). Leveraging the foundational insights from previous works [1], we demonstrate the efficacy of Bayesian optimization in yielding significant outcomes with few iterations, illuminating a promising path for addressing intricate optimization challenges inherent in VNS. The initial sections delineate the objectives of this project, ...Bachelor Thesis -
Designing a Communication Library for Xilinx Versal Devices Using the Window-Based API
(2023)The Adaptive Compute Acceleration Platform (ACAP) developed by AMD/Xilinx is a novel architecture which combines three parts: An ARM-based CPU, an FPGA and a CGRA. The CGRA is implemented as a configurable grid of powerful vector processors called AI Engines (AIEs), whose communication patterns can be programmed using dataflow graphs. Programming the AI Engines is difficult because it requires extensive knowledge of the underlying ...Bachelor 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 -
Experimental Optimization of a Peristaltic Pump Prototype for Pit-Emptying
(2024)The development of efficient, affordable, and mobile pit-emptying techniques is crucial for providing safe sanitation to people in densely populated areas of urban and peri-urban settlements with no access to sewer systems. A functional test stand for a low-cost, manually built peristaltic pump prototype was constructed and used to evaluate the flow rate performance of the prototype and variations thereof. Different tube sizes, tube ...Bachelor Thesis -
Large Language Model's Ability to Reason about Router Configurations
(2024)In this thesis we attempt to utilise large language models (LLMs) to answer networking questions based on router configurations. We establish an approach to ask these questions and evaluate them on the November 2023 preview of OpenAI’s GPT-4 Turbo specifically. Our findings suggest that this LLM performs with varying reliability and requires careful question formulations as well as extensive context to answer correctly.Bachelor Thesis -

Exploring the use of WebAssembly for isolating Functions in Dandelion
(2024)Untrusted code execution is the process of running software that cannot be assumed to execute correctly (bug-freedom) or with good intentions (malware-freedom). Today, untrusted code execution is found in various places, from a web-browser safely running websites on a mobile phone, to a large cloud computing provider running customer workloads on managed hardware and infrastructure. From an operating system perspective, we talk about ...Bachelor Thesis -
Evaluation of the waste management system at the Züri Fäscht
(2023)This thesis evaluates the waste management system implemented for Züri Fäscht, the biggest festival in Zurich. It aims to identify opportunities for optimization in environmental impact reductions and resource efficiency. The study encompasses the analysis of the material flow, transportation, costs, energy, and emissions. Comparisons are made between the latest editions with other big events worldwide. Sorting is a new waste treatment ...Bachelor Thesis -
Designing a manual press for blackwater dewatering
(2023)Most of sub-Saharan Africa relies on non-sewered sanitation. In the treatment of the ac cumulating blackwater dewatering is a crucial step. Established technologies for dewatering are drying beds or settling tanks. These methods are often land- and time-intensive. Mechani cal dewatering offers a solution to this problem. However commercially available mechanical dewatering presses are often too big in scale, require electricity for ...Bachelor Thesis
