Firm ground for cloud datacentre planning
Just like the roads that provide access to them and the dikes that protect them, cloud datacentres have become an essential part of our national, and worldwide, infrastructure. Thanks to capacity planning research by TU Delft master’s student Georgios Andreadis, these datacentres may continue to meet the ever-growing computational demands while reducing their operational costs and increasing their efficiency and environmental sustainability.
Using sound waves to make microchips and detect faults
Researcher Gerard Verbiest works on new chip technology using sound. Together with researchers at ASML, he investigates, among other things, how to apply sound to look inside a chip.
Travelling to a black hole
Black holes are one of the most remarkable phenomena in the universe. But what do they look like? And how can you depict something like this? Researcher Annemieke Verbraeck is developing a new simulation based on the Hollywood film Interstellar.
When Open Source and Open Science go hand-in-hand
With over 200 million projects, Github is the communal storage space of the open source world – and in a sense, the foundation of our digital society. The hosting service for software development and version control is involved in countless pieces of software we use daily. With so many software projects, and so many active developers, GitHub is a gold mine for researchers wanting to understand the open source software world. But getting good information has always been hard. That changed when Georgios Gousios developed GHTorrent, a dataset that opens a window into the inner workings of Github.
Precise proton therapy thanks to uncertainty algorithms
“10 million people a year die from cancer, but many millions survive long term after receiving radiotherapy treatments, so if you can make a computational model that increases effectiveness or decreases side-effects by even just a few per cent, that can help thousands of patients,” says Zoltán Perkó, a specialist in Deep Learning, AI and Computational Physics.

Creating order in chaos: data visualization
If you want to know more about the research of Thomas Höllt, you could simply have a look at his work. It should – for the trained eye – speak for itself. And what you will see, will vary from the dispersion of proteins in cells, to the different layers in an old Vermeer painting. His visualization platform does not only help biologists to understand how the immune system works, it also helps them to get to the roots of diseases and come up with specialized treatment. And it can also be used to identify and chart invaluable paintings and could have many more applications.
Sounds good: treating depression with ultrasound
Tiago Costa is developing a novel targeted neuro-modulation treatment for depression, using focused ultrasound. His goal is to treat only brain areas that need attention, leaving other parts of the brain undisturbed.
Feeling the digital
Have you ever wondered what the fabric feels like on a jumper you were thinking to order online? Or wanted to touch the hand of your distant relatives through your computer screen? Assistant professor Yasemin Vardar knows exactly how you feel. For years, we’ve been able to send and receive digital packets. But we can’t do that for ‘touch’. In 2020, she founded the Haptic Interface Technology Lab to change that.
