Projects that I am (was) involved in
Several PhD-students and Master students have conducted research under my guidance both internally and at companies (see below). Since these are carried out by Computer Science students, the presented algorithms are implemented and tested as well. Many of the these projects have resulted in a publication or have led to publishable results. I have included a small selection of these projects below. If the project was carried out at a company, then I have included the name of the company. Currently, it is just a list, but I plan to add a description to each of the projects. If you have any questions concerning these projects, then please send me an email (j.a.hoogeveen@uu.nl).
