NWO funding for flexible power demand in electrically driven industry

NWO is funding two projects to explore ways to make the power demand of industry more flexible, allowing it to better align with future energy supplies. One of these projects, “DEFLAME,” is led by Machteld van den Broek from TU Delft.

MSc CoSEM

In the CoSEM Master's programme you explore the innovations in complex socio-technical environments. You learn to think about more than technology alone. After all, when designing technological innovations, you have to deal with matters such as existing regulations, subsidies, distribution channels and infrastructures, as well as interests, cultures and human behaviour. In order to achieve successful innovations, these aspects must be considered and used in your socio-technical design. These kinds of designs always have an ethical dimension and an international character. The programme therefore spends a great deal on ethical issues and has an international character. CoSEM webpage CoSEM programme Tracks Every year the curriculum is revised. Under this tab you will find the curriculum of the past few years. CoSEM Programme 2024-2025 link to interactive programme chart including all tracks CoSEM Programme 2023-2024 link to interactive programme chart including all tracks CoSEM Programme 2022-2023 link to interactive programme chart including all tracks CoSEM Programme 2021-2022 link to interactive programme chart including all tracks The MSc programme offers three tracks, each specializing in a different aspect of complex systems: Energy (E) The Energy track offers comprehensive education in the field of energy markets and future energy systems. It focuses on renewable energy, electricity and gas infrastructures and markets, and how possible interventions for their improvement can be designed. These interventions may consist of investment in physical components (or even entirely new infrastructures), changes to the operation and changes to the regulation of the system. The track is intended for students who are interested in management, policy, consultancy and/or entrepreneurial endeavours within the field of energy markets and future energy systems. Recent developments as smart grids, industrial micro-grids, plug-in (hybrid) electric vehicles, renewable heating systems, the gas roundabout, shale gas and other sources of ‘new gas’ are examples of topics elaborated in the programme. THESIS PROJECT Master’s thesis projects might, for example, involve consulting on policy analysis for government or industry or working as a corporate strategy analyst, or be related to the activities of plant managers, quality managers and/or consultants involved in operations and tactics in the process industry, or to industrial policymaking. Typical organisations and companies where graduates take up employment are Shell, ECN, Kema, Ecofys, Electrabel, Nuon, Essent, TenneT, Siemens, Philips, GE Plastics, Boskalis, Port of Rotterdam, Cap Gemini, Ernst & Young, the Netherlands Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Netherlands Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and Environment. Information & Communication (I&C) Nowadays, nothing in our society can function without a large-scale digital information infrastructure. The information infrastructure is a technically complex system because it is constructed by components that are publicly or privately owned. This requires a design and governance of the systems that are based on public-private partnerships to make optimal use of the information. The I&C track offers comprehensive education in the field of system architecture and design of I&C based platforms for multi-actor collaboration, business intelligence, safety and security. The track is designed for students who are interested in designing, for example, application for smart logistics, in designing platforms for local energy generation or for big and open data to create green energy services within a smart city. THESIS PROJECT Recent graduation projects focused on such issues as the formulation of a global IT sourcing strategy, improving innovation processes, the design of a quick-scan information awareness tool, the development of new mobile services (e.g. for police officers), the design of processes that are enabled by smart meters, the design of information sharing among private and public organisations, the exploitation of social software/Web 2.0 applications to promote new ways of working in banking, and the design of a patient portal for communicating with doctors at a medical centre. Typical organisations and companies where graduates take up employment are ING, insurance companies, KPMG, Accenture, customs and revenue organisations, social security, municipalities and ministries. Several graduates have successfully launched their own companies. Transport & Logistics (T&L) The transport and logistics sector is constantly in development and requires innovative engineers. In this track students analyse and design urban mobility, freight and logistics systems taking into account the travel behaviour, the conflicting interests and competing political, social and economic demands. They learn about transport and infrastructure systems from an integrated transport, environmental, economic and spatial perspective. They work on questions as: “what is the impact of land use policies on mobility patterns?”, “what possibilities do new data sources from e.g. GPS and cell-phone triangulation provide for studying travel behaviour?”, and “what is the impact to ICT on the valuation of travel time?”. They develop alternatives for designing new or improved transport and infrastructure systems and gain insight into problems related to the design and control of transport processes from a multi-actor perspective. THESIS PROJECT Thesis projects relate to the analysis and design of transport systems at all levels and for all purposes: the economic, spatial and legal environment of transport systems, issues associated with environmental and safety concerns, challenges regarding accessibility, etc. Thesis projects include the analysis and design of either internal logistics processes or inter-organisational processes. Important themes are the optimisation of procurement, inventory, transport, sales and customer service related processes. Other projects examine the impact on logistics of new technologies and policies, such as the possibilities in city distribution, or greening supply chains or container terminal processes. The focus can be quantitative (e.g. operation research or simulation based) and/or qualitative (analysing and generating management decisions).

What is online proctoring?

FAQ What is online proctoring? Online proctoring (also known as “online surveillance”) is a form of non-location-bound examination. The surveillance takes place online using special software. The advantage of online surveillance software is that you can take exams anywhere (for example, at home) under fraud-proof conditions. Monitoring software, video images, and screen supervision are used to prevent and detect fraud. The surveillance process consists of the following phases: Testing : The technical operation of the surveillance system is tested to ensure that all data can be correctly transmitted and collected. At the end of this phase, students are notified that from that moment on, all data will be stored for 90 days. Identification : This is usually done by taking a photo via the webcam and students showing their campus card. If a student does not have a campus card, they can use an official ID (ID card or passport). In any case, students should be instructed to cover their citizen service number (BSN). Filming : Students are instructed to film the room they are in. Students receive detailed instructions from the proctoring tool to make a 360-degree recording of the room and the ceiling. They should be instructed to film both in front of and behind the computer as well as under the table. In some systems, students are asked to film their ears to show that they are not wearing unauthorized earplugs. Depending on how the exam is conducted, students may also be asked to film the books, papers, and other aids on the table. Once these three phases are completed, students are instructed to start the exam . TU Delft uses proctoring software for online surveillance in combination with the exam systems Möbius, Grasple, WebLab, and Ans. Go to TU Delft online proctoring privacy statement page

Are students required to identify themselves with their campus card?

TU Delft jointly wins XPRIZE Rainforest drone competition in Brazil

TU Delft jointly wins in the XPRIZE Rainforest competition in the Amazon, Brazil Imagine using rapid and autonomous robot technology for research into the green and humid lungs of our planet; our global rainforests. Drones that autonomously deploy eDNA samplers and canopy rafts uncover the rich biodiversity of these complex ecosystems while revealing the effects of human activity on nature and climate change. On November 15, 2024, after five years of intensive research and competition, the ETHBiodivX team, which included TU Delft Aerospace researchers Salua Hamaza and Georg Strunck, achieved an outstanding milestone: winning the XPRIZE Rainforest Bonus Prize for outstanding effort in co-developing inclusive technology for nature conservation. The goal: create automated technology and methods to gain near real-time insights about biodiversity – providing necessary data that can inform conservation action and policy, support sustainable bioeconomies, and empower Indigenous Peoples and local communities who are the primary protectors and knowledge holders of the planet’s tropical rainforests. The ETHBiodivX team, made of experts in Robotics, eDNA, and Data Insights, is tackling the massive challenge of automating and streamlining the way we monitor ecosystems. Leading the Robotics division, a collaboration between TU Delft’s Prof. Salua Hamaza, ETH Zurich’s Prof. Stefano Mintchev and Aarhus University’s Profs. Claus Melvad and Toke Thomas Høye, is developing cutting-edge robotic solutions to gather ecology and biology data autonomously. “We faced the immense challenge of deploying robots in the wild -- and not just any outdoor environment but one of the most demanding and uncharted: the wet rainforests. This required extraordinary efforts to ensure robustness and reliability, pushing the boundaries of what the hardware could achieve for autonomous data collection of images, sounds, and eDNA, in the Amazon” says prof. Hamaza. “Ultimately, this technology will be available to Indigenous communities as a tool to better understand the forest's ongoing changes in biodiversity, which provide essential resources as food and shelter to the locals.” . . . .

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.

New catheter technology promises safer and more efficient treatment of blood vessels

Each year, more than 200 million catheters are used worldwide to treat vascular diseases, including heart disease and artery stenosis. When navigating into blood vessels, friction between the catheter and the vessel wall can cause major complications. With a new innovative catheter technology, Mostafa Atalla and colleagues can change the friction from having grip to completely slippery with the flick of a switch. Their design improves the safety and efficiency of endovascular procedures. The findings have been published in IEEE. Catheter with variable friction The prototype of the new catheter features advanced friction control modules to precisely control the friction between the catheter and the vessel wall. The friction is modulated via ultrasonic vibrations, which overpressure the thin fluid layer. This innovative variable friction technology makes it possible to switch between low friction for smooth navigation through the vessel and high friction for optimal stability during the procedure. In a proof-of-concept, Atalla and his team show that the prototype significantly reduces friction, averaging 60% on rigid surfaces and 11% on soft surfaces. Experiments on animal aortic tissue confirm the promising results of this technology and its potential for medical applications. Fully assembled catheters The researchers tested the prototype during friction experiments on different tissue types. They are also investigating how the technology can be applied to other procedures, such as bowel interventions.
