The action plan for social safety has been presented to the Education Inspectorate by TU Delft’s Executive Board and shared with Minister Dijkgraaf by the Supervisory Board.

A team of researchers at Delft University of Technology has developed a drone that flies autonomously using neuromorphic image processing and control based on the workings of animal brains. Animal brains use less data and energy compared to current deep neural networks running on GPUs (graphic chips).

In a dynamic collaboration between academia and young minds, 12 enthusiastic children from a school in Delft recently embarked on an enriching journey into the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). This event was part of the project “Bliksemstage” of JINC organisation.

What determines the cycle life of batteries? And, more importantly, how can we extend it? An international research team led by TU Delft has discovered that local disorder in the oxide cathode material increases the number of times Li-ion batteries can be charged and discharged. Their results have been published in Nature.

Paul Althuis has received a royal decoration. The former director of the Innovation & Impact Centre has been appointed as Officer in the Order of Orange-Nassau. The order was awarded to Althuis by Mayor Marja van Bijsterveldt on Friday in the Delft city hall during the traditional order ceremony (or ‘Lintjesregen’) prior to King's Day.

Platforms that offer rides to passengers, such as Uber and DiDi, thrive on socio-economic inequality. By modelling the behaviour of passengers and self-employed drivers, researchers of TU Delft simulated the market for ridesourcing platforms, evaluating a broad spectrum of (in)equality levels in societies. It explains why in some cities ridesourcing services can be big players in the mobility system, while in other cities they don’t get off the ground. This research was published in Nature Scientific Reports recently. 

Professors Paul Althuis, Frances Brazier, DirkJan Veeger, Sabine Roeser and Serge Hoogendoorn all received royal honours on 26 April 2024.

Professor Rob Mudde will step down from the Executive Board of TU Delft next autumn. He has been a board member since 1 March 2018, as Vice President and Vice Rector Magnificus/Vice President Education (VRM/VPE).
