1. The Mathematician as Mathematics : Theories of Computation in Light of Wittgenstein's Thought
Abstract : Theories of computation are considered in light of Wittgenstein's thought. The dissertation is divided into three parts.The first part presents the philosophical approach taken in the dissertation. The approach takes Wittgenstein's philosophy, in particular as it has been understood by Rush Rhees, as a model. READ MORE

2. Realtime & Development - modes of knowing design computation in architectural practice
Abstract : This thesis examines theoretical, methodological and organisational implications of design computation for architectural practice - from an insider perspective. It also proposes a conceptual model for knowing within this practice, in an approach that interrelates theory and actionable knowledge. READ MORE

3. On the Measurement of Model Fit for Sparse Categorical Data
Abstract : This thesis consists of four papers that deal with several aspects of the measurement of model fit for categorical data. In all papers, special attention is paid to situations with sparse data. READ MORE

4. Stochastic model updating and model selection with application to structural dynamics
Abstract : Uncertainty induced by our incomplete state of knowledge about engineering systems and their surrounding environment give rise to challenging problems in the process of building predictive models for the system behavior. One such challenge is the model selection problem, which arises due to the existence of invariably multiple candidate models with different mathematical forms to represent the system behavior, and so there is a need to assess their plausibility based on experimental data.

5. Improvement and Assessment of Two-Dimensional Resistivity Models Derived from Radiomagnetotelluric and Direct-Current Resistivity Data
Abstract : Two-dimensional (2-D) models of electrical resistivity are improved by jointly inverting radiomagnetotelluric (RMT) and direct-current resistivity (DCR) data or by allowing for displacement currents in the inversion of RMT data collected on highly resistive bedrock. Uniqueness and stability of the 2-D models are assessed with a model variance and resolution analysis that allows for the non-linearity of the inverse problem. READ MORE
