Joop Roodenburg, president of Huisman Equipment, has been elected TU Delft Alumnus of the Year 2019.

The project Water4Change focusses on fit-for-purpose water sensitive design for fast growing liveable cities in India, combining know-how from Dutch and Indian experts.

This month, Richard Norte, researcher at the Department of Precision and Microsystems Engineering, received an ATTRACT Grant worth 100,000 euros to develop a new generation of quantum accelerometers for interial navigation.

Meer regie en bundeling van kennisontwikkeling, opschaling van innovaties en verhoging arbeidsproductiviteit in de ontwerp-, bouw- en technieksector. Dat zijn de centrale begrippen die ten grondslag liggen aan het Bouw en Techniek Innovatie Centrum.

On May 15, the Eco-Runner Team Delft unveiled the Eco-Runner 9, a hydrogen car that, converted to gasoline, must achieve an equivalent of 4000 kilometers per 1 liter of gasoline.

TU Delft researcher Sander van Cranenburgh, in collaboration with researchers from the University of Sydney, has developed an upgrade for leading software package Ngene. Ngene is used by researchers and professionals to design stated choice experiments. Such experiments are used to gain insight into how people weigh up various aspects when making a choice, for example travel time and travel costs. This software upgrade makes it possible to design statistically accurate choice experiments for so-called regret models, a choice behaviour model developed at Delft.

Materials getting scarce, and oceans full of plastic: a radical redesign of our business models, production processes and consumer behaviour is needed.

AeroDelft, a team of students from TU Delft, is in the process of developing the very first manned aircraft driven by liquid hydrogen.

TU Delft professors Jan Dirk Jansen, Lucas van Vliet and Miro Zeman all received Royal Honours this year.

TU Delft professors Jenny Dankelman and Ronald Hanson are set to become members of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW). The KNAW chooses its members on the basis of their academic achievements. It currently has around 550 members. On Monday, 16 September 2019, nineteen new Academy members will be installed, including Dankelman and Hanson.

An NWO TA (Technology Area) grant of more than a million euros has been awarded to a team of researchers to investigate the formation of hydrogen bubbles, the transport of chemical species near the bubbles and the electrodes, and the interaction between bubbles. Large scale production of hydrogen is possible by electrochemically splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen. The flow and transport processes near electrodes is poorly understood, in particular around the produced hydrogen bubbles. A better understanding can help to increase the efficiency.

Erasmus MC, Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) and Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) intend to structurally strengthen and scale up their scientific collaboration – specifically in the health field.
