Diamond excels in combining intrinsic and surface properties, controlling its application in various life science fields. Understanding the complex interaction with living organisms is highly desirable but limited by the ...

In this habilitation thesis, a novel description of nanoscale friction is presented. In order to develop an experimental model of the nanoscale friction, it is common practice to obtain the relevant parameters from a trial ...

This thesis focuses on the image processing methods for brain perfusion measurement using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequence called arterial spin labeling (ASL). We show the importance of dealing with brain ...

Humans and animals excel in combining information from multiple sensory modalities, control-ling their complex bodies, adapting to growth, failures, or using tools. These capabilities are alsohighly desirable in robots. ...

Hollow-core optical fibers represent the state-of-the-art in fiber optics and are on the verge of surpassing the loss performance of standard single-mode fibers in the very near future. Apart from low loss, they bring ...

This habilitation thesis presents improvements in selected areas of induction motor drive application in railway traction vehicles. One of the most common induction motor control strategies in railway traction drives, ...

This habilitation thesis is focused on Full-time Full-authority vehicle (motion) control system design methodologies and their applications, mainly in the automotive domain. The technology is well known in aerospace and ...
