He has supported it with great enthusiasm and patience, providing knowledge and motivation in times of trouble. Alike, Dr. Uli Harder, the second marker for this paper, has been a source of valuable and insightful feedback. I would also like to thank my family, as well as my partner, for being extremely supportive and understanding throughout the past months. I would not have been able to complete this thesis without them.
