In February the Department of Electrical Sustainable Energy hosted the final lecture for TenneT experts from various fields.

Felienne Hermans (Software Engineering Group) won the 2018 Open Education Award for Excellence.

Vinay Balaji is a master student at the EEMCS faculty at TU Delft. Vinay came up with the idea of ‘Virtual Referee’, a technology which helps the referee to accurately and quickly determine whether or not it’s offside or a penalty during a football game.

Windmills and solar panels are only the visible part of the energy transition. The power grid itself, already one of the most complex systems ever designed by humankind, is undergoing its own transition to ensure a high enough reliability in a future with up to 100% distributed power generation.

Lina Sarro (Microelectronics Group) won the IEEE Robert Bosch Micro and Nano Electro Mechanical Systems Award. The award was presented by the president of the IEEE Electron Device Society during the opening ceremony of the IEEE MEMS 2018 Conference in Belfast.

Armando Rodrigo Mor (Department Electrical Sustainable Energy) received a grant for the project called ‘DC GIS Technology Demonstrator’ within the European H2020 project PROMOTioN.

Piet Van Mieghem, professor with a Chair in Telecommunication Networks and chairman of the Network Architectures & Services Group, has received from the Belgian Ambassador Chris Hoornaert, a certificate of the Christoffel Plantin Foundation.

The Delft University Fund gave a cheque to master student Vinay Balaji and his supervisor Marco Zuniga (Embedded Systems Group). With this money Vinay can demonstrate his ‘Virtual Referee’ in a test set-up in which football players, equipped with sensors, simulate game situations. This technology helps the referee and makes football fairer.

The TU Delft Power System Protection Centre (PSPC), under leadership of Marjan Popov (Department Electrical Sustainable Energy), has received a NWO grant for research on ‘Resilient Synchromeasurement-based Grid Protection Platform’.

TU Delft continues its significant yearly contribution to the prestigious International Solid-State Circuits Conference

On Tuesday 27 March, TU Delft will launch the Delft Bioengineering Institute. Main speaker is Clive Brown, Chief Technology Officer at DNA sequencing specialist Oxford Nanopore Technologies.

Martin Verlaan (Department of Mathematical Physics of EEMCS), CiTG, AE, the German Federal Agency for Cartography & Geodesy and Deltares received a grant of ‘STW Open Technology Program’ for developing a seamless forecasting system of the total water depths in the Dutch North Sea.

At the 32nd International Conference on Information Networking (ICOIN 2018) in Thailand, Eline Rietberg (a former MSc student at EEMCS) won the Best Paper Award. Her paper is called ‘Analyzing Information Availability in ICN under Link Failures’. The paper resulted from Eline’s graduation project which was conducted at TNO.

In the future, a virtual coach could make a positive contribution to the therapy of people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), such as war veterans or people who suffered sexual abuse in their youth. Such a coach could motivate people to persist with therapy and help them to recall traumatic memories as part of exposure therapy. The virtual coach was developed by Myrthe Tielman, who will be awarded her PhD at TU Delft on Thursday, 25 January.

Last December Inald has been appointed Distinguished Professor in the field of Computing-based Society. He was chosen because he made important contributions by designing and defining the new focus area Computing-based Society.

Felienne won on January 18th one of the five Techionista Awards. The awards for female tech talent were presented by Techionista.com. The proud winners of the new awards may call themselves, according to the professional jury and the Dutch public, the 5 most talented, inspiring, pioneering and enterprising tech-women of the Netherlands.
