Procedural administrative law in a constitutional comparative law perspective

In the first part of this thesis we study the geometry of folding patterns.

In this thesis, we investigate how deep generative models (AI models that can create new designs) can be better utilized for technical and industrial design. Our goal is to generate designs that are not only realistic (plausible), but also efficient, reliable, and usable in complex 2D and 3D applica…

In 2021, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) asked Leiden University to conduct a rapid review of best practices and possibilities for follow-up research on the integration of behavioral sciences in security by design methodologies and projects. This academic field is called security by behavioral…
