Professor of Indoor Environment Department of Architectural Engineering + Technology "I'm currently doing research into the quality of the indoor environment of buildings. Looking at the possibilities to improve this based primarily on the needs and wishes of the users. How do you create healthy and comfortable buildings? I have worked at TNO for more than twenty years developing my knowledge about the indoor environment. There is a growing interest in the occupant comfort of the users of buildings. Not only nationally but also at European and global levels there is a growing recognition that a healthy and comfortable indoor environment is one of the determining factors of the quality of life. Reliable method I think it is important that a reliable method is developed to determine the way people experience and perceive the indoor environment. Not only to combat and prevent dissatisfaction and illnesses caused by indoor environments, but also to achieve a positive effect on the quality of life for the users of a building. I hope to develop a multidisciplinary research and education programme for future architects to help them in creating and renovating buildings that are healthy and sustainable throughout their life cycle.” One of the many publications that Philomena has to her name is the ‘Indoor Environment Handbook: How to make buildings healthy and comfortable’ . A publication in which she among other things maps out how people respond to indoor living conditions and how modification of these parameters can improve the indoor environment. This handbook was honoured in 2010 with the ‘Choice Outstanding Academic Titles Award’ from the American Library Association. At the end of 2013 she also published the book ‘The Healthy Indoor Environment: How to assess occupants’ wellbeing in buildings'.

Green ammonia remains a challenge, but researchers make significant progress

The production of ammonia, essential for fertiliser production, is responsible for almost 1.5% of global carbon emissions. This needs to be greener, which is why researchers have been looking for sustainable alternatives for years.

Students Amos Yusuf, Mick Dam & Bas Brouwer winners of Mekel Prize 2024

Master students Amos Yusuf, from the ME faculty (Mick Dam, from the EEMCS faculty and graduate Bas Brouwer have won the Mekel Prize 2024 for the best extra scientific activity at TU Delft: the development of an initiative that brings master students into the classroom teaching sciences to the younger generations. The prize was ceremonially awarded by prof Tim van den Hagen on 13 November after the Van Hasselt Lecture at the Prinsenhof, Delft. They received a statue of Professor Jan Mekel and 1.500,- to spend on their project. Insights into climate change are being openly doubted. Funding for important educational efforts and research are being withdrawn. Short clips – so called “reels” – on Youtube and TikTok threaten to simplify complex political and social problems. AI fakes befuddle what is true and what is not. The voices of science that contribute to those discussion with modesty, careful argument and scepticism, are drowned in noise. This poses a threat for universities like TU Delft, who strive to increase student numbers, who benefit from diverse student populations and aim to pass on their knowledge and scientific virtues to the next generation. It is, therefore, alarming that student enrolments to Bachelor and Master Programs at TU Delft have declined in the past year. Students in front of the class The project is aimed to make the sciences more appealing to the next generation. They have identified the problem that students tend miss out on the opportunity of entering a higher education trajectory in the Beta sciences – because they have a wrong picture of such education. In their mind, they depict it as boring and dry. In his pilot lecture at the Stanislas VMBO in Delft, Amos Yusuf has successfully challenged this image. He shared his enthusiasm for the field of robotics and presented himself as a positive role model to the pupils. And in return the excitement of the high school students is palpable in the videos and pictures from the day. The spark of science fills their eyes. Bas Brouwer Mick Dam are the founders of NUVO – the platform that facilitates the engagement of Master Students in high school education in Delft Their efforts offer TU Delft Master Students a valuable learning moment: By sharing insights from their fields with pupils at high school in an educational setting, our students can find identify their own misunderstandings of their subject, learn to speak in front of non-scientific audiences and peak into education as a work field they themselves might not have considered. An extraordinary commitment According to the Mekel jury, the project scored well on all the criteria (risk mitigation, inclusiveness, transparency and societal relevance). However, it was the extraordinary commitment of Amos who was fully immersed during his Master Project and the efforts of Brouwer and Dam that brought together teaching and research which is integral to academic culture that made the project stand out. About the Mekel Prize The Mekel Prize will be awarded to the most socially responsible research project or extra-scientific activity (e.g. founding of an NGO or organization, an initiative or realization of an event or other impactful project) by an employee or group of employees of TU Delft – projects that showcase in an outstanding fashion that they have been committed from the beginning to relevant moral and societal values and have been aware of and tried to mitigate as much as possible in innovative ways the risks involved in their research. The award recognizes such efforts and wants to encourage the responsible development of science and technology at TU Delft in the future.
