\section{Executive summary}
Do not forget that this needs to be included. Check the thesis handbook for details!!!
\section{This could be your introduction}
Text with citation according to~\cite{Ref1}.

All of this is summarized in Figure~\ref{fig:LSCM}.

\subsection{And another subsection}
Table~\ref{tab:table1} is a cool table. Avoid too fancy formatting and focus on clear, easy to read and focused information in a table. Do not forget that you may use appendices to add extensive information that exceeds the limit one wants to put in a table in the body of text.
\begin{table}[htp!]

\caption{A clean table is a nice thing}
\label{tab:table1}
\begin{tabular}{@{}ccc@{}}
\toprule
First Column & Second Column & Third Column \\ \midrule

Text & Text & Text \\
Text & Text & Text \\ \bottomrule
