Welcome

Hello! You are just reading my first blog post. I have thought about blogging for quite some time, but since have not found the time to do so. As I have recently finished some projects I now want to start this blog as a new project of mine.

Purpose of this blog

With this blog I want to share and discuss interesting topics related to web development. I want to teach the things I have learned the hard way to fellow developers on the same journey. But keep in mind that the best way to learn is by failure. I firmly believe that making, sharing and reflecting on your failures improves your skills much more than anything else.

High Dimensional Data Visualization

I attended a seminar on large scale visualization and wrote a paper on high dimensional data visualization, comparing different techniques. A key concept of high dimensional data visualization is dimensionality reduction, in order to reduce the number of dimensions to be visualized. The paper covers linear (principal component analysis) and non-linear (local linear embedding, ISOMAP, t-SNE) dimensionality reduction techniques. The paper has been peer-reviewed in class.

The title photo is a visualization of the MNIST dataset - a database of handwritten digits. The R language was used to create the plots.

Reference Models for Information Management in a Smart Factory

Abstract

In the course of the fourth industrial revolution manufacturing plants are becoming increasingly intelligent and companies have to face the challenge of this increasing information flow. At present, industry and research are striving to find a viable path to enable the vision of the intelligent factory of the future. A key challenge is information management in a highly networked factory, which is also typically networked with its entire supply chain. This work presents four reference models for information management and draws a comparative analysis of the state of research.

Influence of slicing tools on quality of 3D printed parts

Project Background

In a team of three students we had the chance to write a seminar paper examining the influence of slicing tools on the quality of 3D printed parts. After finishing the seminar paper, we decided to turn the findings into a research paper, which meant to shorten and rewrite a majority of our original work. We submitted the paper to a special issue of the Computer-Aided Design and Applications journal and the paper got accepted.
