The company Diana FEA BV is looking for students to model a dike failure using DIANA Finite Element software. This project could be suitable for an internship, additional thesis or master thesis project. As part of the project, there are opportunities to have your participation in a benchmark workshop in Milano(Sept 2019) funded.

Together with TU Delft, Rijkswaterstaat is starting a monitoring program along the new sandy banks of the Houtribdijk. During 2 years the waves, currents and sand displacement at the sloping banks of the IJsselmeer and Markermeer will be measured.

Begroeide voorlanden kunnen golfbelastingen op dijken flink laten afnemen. Daardoor zou je deze dijken eventueel minder hoog kunnen maken. Vincent Vuik promoveert op woensdag 27 maart op dit onderwerp aan de TU Delft.

You are all invited to this year’s first Poster Presentation Event of the Hydraulic Engineering department. This is a great opportunity for PhDs and Postdocs to get to know each other, share your work and learn about possible research connections. For Master students this is a good chance to learn a bit on what research is being done in our department, especially if you are interested in pursuing a research career yourself or if you are looking for a graduation topic! Supervisors and other HE-staff are also more than welcome.

In de World University Rankings by Subjects 2019, die vandaag is verschenen, staat de TU Delft in vier vakgebieden Delft in de wereldwijde top 10, namelijk Architecture / Built Environment (3), Civil (4), Mechanical (4) en Chemical Engineering (10). Vorig jaar was dat in twee vakgebieden het geval. In het voor Delft belangrijke Engineering & Technology stijgt de universiteit van 22 naar 17. Daarnaast is de TU Delft in twaalf vakgebieden de hoogst genoteerde Nederlandse universiteit.
