Data are increasingly used as key resources. This triggered the European Union (EU) to develop a novel policy project for data centered on the objective to achieve a single European market for data. Following the European Data Strategy of the European Commission (2020), EU data legislation, notably composed of the Data Act and of the Data Governanc...
The performance of mechatronic drivetrains is to a large extend governed by the dynamic behavior of its main constituents, being the gears and bearings. The modelling of gears and bearings on a component-level has received considerable attention in recent years, which has led to the development of a number of accurate gear and bearing models based ...
Magnetically confined plasma fusion is an important field of study, with the potential to revolutionise the energy industry. There are several hurdles we have to overcome to achieve magnetic fusion. One of them are plasma disruptions in tokamak style reactors. These are higly energetic events that break confinement of the plasma and can damage the ...

In the research area of building physics, internal insulation systems receive much interest because they are the sole option for a thermal retrofit in buildings with preservation-worthy facades. One of the key problems of this insulation system is that it induces an increased risk of moisture problems by lowering the overall temperature of the maso...
Meeting the challenge of feeding a growing global human population sustainably within the existing agricultural land necessitates urgent efforts to enhance crop productivity per unit area, while reducing the environmental impact of agriculture. Arthropods alone destroy 18-26% of the global annual crop production, valued at over €430 billion. Tradit...
Protein aggregation is a common pathological hallmark of a large number of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, as well as many metabolic diseases and cancer. This phenomenon results from the self-assembly of short regions of mainly hydrophobic amino acids (APRs) into stacked structured sheets called steric zippers. Moun...
Abnormal protein deposition and brain trauma can both lead to hyperphosphorylation and accumulation of tau protein in the brain. In this project, it is hypothesized that sequentially measuring tau protein in combination with the effect on synaptic density, determines further changes such as anatomic and cognitive changes. Both tau deposition and sy...
Games User Research (GUR) plays a pivotal role in the rapidly evolving gaming industry, where understanding and enhancing player experience (PX) is crucial for the development of engaging and successful games. Games user researchers face challenges in understanding PX due to the subjectivity of the players, diverse player demographics, multiple gam...
