Investigation of the swelling behavior and estimation of pressure due to swelling of lithium-ion pouch cells during cycling by means of optical dilatometry (Master Thesis)

Implementation Plan for Predictive Maintenance Based on Vibration Analysis for the Mineral Processing Plant “Kuncani” (Bachelor Thesis)

In charge of solving a problem with a defective or incomplete cutting process of the tile-forming presses due to an uneven wear of the blades. I designed a pneumatic device that uses the inner tube of a bicycle tire to effectively distribute the pressure applied, causing the blades to wear evenly, thereby solving the problem in a very cost-effective way.

The MSc program deals with modern technologies for energy conversion and storage and with the scientific principles underlying these technologies. The program is strongly research-oriented and focusses on electrochemical energy conversion and storage in fuel cells and batteries.

The academic program develops integrated knowledge and skills in electricity, electronics, mechanics, automation, mechatronics, and IT, giving the student the required tools to help the industry sector master state of the art technologies to produce high quality products at high productivity rates.
