Alex Kolmus, PhD in the Applied Mathematics group of Gabriel Lord, was given the opportunity to work on an Alliander cases for three months. The PhD worked in house at Alliander, and was supported by Yuliya Shapovalova and Tom Heskes during the internship.
The main topic of the internship was improving detection algorithms of pulse reflections. Goal of the internship was to develop a method to detect pulses independent of knowledge of forced input pulses on a grid section.
This new way of collaboration strengthened our partnership. It gave Alex the chance to experience what it is like to work at an organization outside of the academic world. Alliander had the opportunity to dive into a topics which would stay on the shelf for a long time due to a lack of capacity in the team.
