1. Gradient-based optimization of non-linear structures and materials
Abstract : Gradient-based optimization is a potent tool in many design processes today. It is particularly useful in industries where weight considerations are crucial, such as aerospace, but can also be exploited in for example civil engineering applications to reduce the material use and thereby the environmental impact.

2. Shape Optimization for Acoustic Wave Propagation Problems
Abstract : Boundary shape optimization is a technique to search for an optimal shape by modifying the boundary of a device with a pre-specified topology. We consider boundary shape optimization of acoustic horns in loudspeakers and brass wind instruments. READ MORE

3. Gradient-Based Distributed Model Predictive Control
Abstract : The thesis covers different topics related to model predictive control (MPC) and particularly distributed model predictive control (DMPC). One topic of the thesis is gradient-based optimization algorithms for solving the optimization problem arising in DMPC in a distributed manner. READ MORE

4. Topology optimization of antennas and waveguide transitions
Abstract : This thesis introduces a topology optimization approach to design, from scratch, efficient microwave devices, such as antennas and waveguide transitions. The design of these devices is formulated as a general optimization problem that aims to build the whole layout of the device in order to extremize a chosen objective function. READ MORE

5. Time-Domain Inverse Electromagnetic Scattering using FDTD and Gradient-based Minimization
Abstract : The thesis addresses time-domain inverse electromagneticscattering for determining unknown characteristics of an objectfrom observations of the scattered .eld. Applications includenon-destructive characterization of media and optimization ofmaterial properties, for example the design of radar absorbingmaterials. READ MORE
