In design optimization problems, engineers typically handcraft design representations based on personal expertise, which leaves a fingerprint of the user experience in the optimization data. Thus, learning this notion of experience as transferrable design features has potential to improve the performance…

The work presented in this thesis is based on ALMA surveys of protoplanetary disks in three star-forming regions: Lupus, OMC-2, and NGC 2024.

This thesis introduces a relational interaction model and a practical tool for describing, visualising and generating interactive dialogues.

To address the fundamental questions of how life on Earth emerged and how common life may be in the Universe, it is crucial to know the chemical composition of the planet-forming material.

Multiple stars, that is two or more stars composing a gravitationally bound system, are common in the universe.

Environmental challenges such as plastic pollution and biodiversity loss require extensive monitoring. Citizen science, in which members of the public participate in scientific research, has therefore become an important approach in environmental science.

Nico Schrijver emeritus hoogleraar Internationaal Publiekrecht en staatsraad bij de Raad van State is door de Europese Unie en het Verenigd Koninkrijk benoemd als lid van het arbitragepanel dat bevoegd is om geschillen te beslechten over het terugtrekkingsakkoord EU-VK.

Protoplanetary disks are the gas and dust environments where planetary systems form around young stars. Using observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) this thesis analyses the gaseous molecular reservoir, using multiple tracers to resolve the 3D structure of protoplanetary…
