TU Delft en Erasmus MC zetten in op snelle en precieze artrosediagnose

Artrose raakt momenteel 1,5 miljoen Nederlanders en dit aantal kan in 2040 oplopen tot 2,5 miljoen. Een van de grootste uitdagingen bij deze gewrichtsaandoening is de late diagnose, wat leidt tot onjuiste of uitgestelde behandelingen en uiteindelijk zelfs tot de noodzaak van protheses. Ingenieurs van de TU Delft en artsen van het Erasmus MC werken samen aan een oplossing: een technologie die biomechanische analyses combineert met dynamische röntgenopnames.

Invited Talk: Sustainable Propulsion at Pratt & Whitney

Invited Talk: Sustainable Propulsion at Pratt & Whitney 24 oktober 2024 10:30 - Locatie: Lecture Room K, Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, Kluyverweg 1, Delft | Zet in mijn agenda Speakers: Frank Preli , VP Technology, Pratt & Whitney Vince Sidwell , Director, Advanced Concepts & Technology, Pratt & Whitney The aviation industry, which accounts for approximately 2.5% of global CO2 emissions, may contribute a greater fraction of global emissions due, in part, to the estimated increase in customer demand for global air travel over the next three decades. Moreover, persistent contrails and aviation induced cloudiness may contribute an additional 1% of CO2-equivalent climate impacts. Bio-derived and electricity-derived sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) are key levers for achieving net zero CO2 emissions by 2050. Advanced aircraft engine technologies, new engine configurations implementing thermal energy recovery, and the use of alternative fuels including hydrogen may provide, in addition to CO2 reduction, mitigation to the effect of non-CO2 emissions on climate change. The cross-sectoral demands for low carbon intensity electricity in the future must be accounted for. Biographies Vince Sidwell is the Director of Advanced Concepts and Technologies at Pratt & Whitney . He is responsible for conceptual engine design, technology portfolio management, and technology collaboration, including recent designs and technology options aimed at reduced climate impact. Vince joined Pratt & Whitney in 1996 and has served in a variety of positions within Engineering at Pratt & Whitney, supporting both commercial and military products. He holds a Ph.D. in aeronautics and astronautics from MIT . Frank Preli is currently Vice President of Propulsion and Materials Technologies at Pratt & Whitney. He has spent over 40 years at United Technologies Corporation leading the development of technologies for aerospace and energy markets. Preli joined UTC in 1978 as an assistant materials engineer at Pratt & Whitney. He held positions of increasing responsibility at Pratt, including manager of quality and business process effectiveness, manager of technology and production readiness, and manager of materials and mechanics engineering. In 1998, Preli joined UTC Power Corporation, a world leader in fuel cell production and development for commercial, transportation, residential and space applications, where he was Vice President of Engineering until his return to Pratt & Whitney in 2008 as the Chief Engineer for Materials and Processes. Preli earned his bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees in chemistry from the University of Connecticut. He also earned an MBA at the university. Preli is an elected member of the Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering.

Building human capital through Learning Communities

Building human capital through Learning Communities As the world contends with the challenge of transitioning to sustainable energy systems, TU Delft plays a key role by supporting skill and knowledge acquisition through micro-learning communities. These initiatives aim to build the human capital needed to drive innovation and lead the energy transition in a collaborative learning setting where professionals and researchers work on solutions while building on their competences. At the heart of these efforts is the TU Delft Extension School, which recently secured top-up funding to facilitate micro-learning communities for the DEMOSES and HyChain-ESI projects. Rather than focusing solely on technical solutions, TU Delft facilitates bridging the gap between academia, industry, and policy providing additional ways to educate new generations of engineers for the energy sector alongside today’s professionals. Through the Extension School it promotes continuous learning and prepares a workforce capable of tackling the uncertainties of the energy transition now and in the future. Photo by Jason Goodman on Unsplash Promoting Lifelong Learning and Collaboration Supporting learning communities aligns with TU Delft’s lifelong learning strategy that aims to deliver a variety of accessible, cutting-edge learning experiences that integrate education into professional life.. As the micro-learning communities bring together diverse stakeholders, including academics, industry professionals, and policymakers, promoting knowledge exchange and co-creation of solutions. This collaborative environment helps dismantle barriers, ensuring that outcomes are relevant to real-world challenges, while also enhancing individual expertise and collective problem-solving abilities. The DEMOSES and HyChain-ESI projects, which focus on energy system integration and hydrogen technologies,illustrate how these micro-learning communities operate. Their main aim is to advance specific technologies while continuously upskilling energy sector professionals to meet emerging challenges. TU Delft provides a structured environment for collaboration, enabling participants to acquire new skills and return to their organisations ready to inspire further innovation. This continuous learning process, supported by tools such as serious games and hands-on workshops, enhances expertise, facilitates knowledge sharing, and promotes sector-wide innovation. ET-TLC: Learning Communities for Students Another example of TU Delft’s successful implementation of learning communities is the ET-TLC project, which centres on students. These communities create a rich learning environmentt that facilitates transdisciplinary education, equipping students with deeper skills and providing concrete insights into how they can inpact society. Through a transformative identity formation process, students are encouraged to rethink and redefine traditional notions of engineering, challenging them on who an engineer could or should be. Shaping the Future of Energy Innovation In essence, TU Delft’s focus on lifelong learning and its role in facilitating micro-learning communities are helping to build the human capital needed to drive the energy transition. By investing in professional development and creating environments for shared learning, TU Delft educates an adaptable workforce to shape the future of energy systems and innovation itself Unlock new lifelong learning opportunities and lead the energy transition with TU Delft!
