1. Beyond the Product – Enabling design services in small and medium sized enterprises
Abstract : While the design industry is moving into new domains, it seems that potential customers do not always understand how the designer can contribute beyond the aesthetically appealing product. The overall purpose of this thesis is to expand our understanding of design as an enabling service in the context of small and medium sized enterprises. READ MORE

2. Life Cycle Energy Optimisation: A multidisciplinary engineering design optimisation framework for sustainable vehicle development
Abstract : This thesis explores how the systemic-level environmental footprint of light-duty vehicles could be reduced through integrative design using the Life Cycle Energy Optimisation (LCEO) methodology. This methodology aims at finding a design solution that uses a minimum amount of cumulative energy demand over the different phases of the vehicle's life cycle; while complying with a set of functional constraints, thereby avoiding any sub-optimal energy demand shifts between the vehicle's different life cycle phases.

3. Semipermeable membrane devices as integrative tools for monitoring nonpolar aromatic compounds in air
Abstract : Air pollutants pose a high risk for humans, and the environment, and this pollution is one of the major environmental problems facing modern society. Active air sampling is the technique that has been traditionally used to monitor nonpolar aromatic air pollutants. READ MORE

4. Devising Capabilities : Service Design for Development Interventions
Abstract : Despite the progress in recent decades, one in ten people globally still live in extreme poverty, and this number is set to increase in the coming years. Designing interventions to improve well-being and livelihoods is challenging because poverty is multidimensional and plays out in complex, adaptive social-ecological systems, where behaviours and practices at the local level can have unintended consequences elsewhere in the system.

5. Integrative Analysis of Dynamic Networks
Abstract : Networks play a central role in several disciplines such as computational biology, social network analysis, transportationplanning and many others; and consequently, several methods have been developed for network analysis. However, in many cases, the study of a single network is insufficient to discover patterns with multiple facets and subtlesignals. READ MORE
