Bijoy Bera Educator of the Year in the BSc-MST and MSc-ChemE programmes

This year, Bijoy Bera – after a nomination by TG - was elected as Educator of the Year in the BSc-MST and MSc-ChemE programmes. At the same time he was also nominated by SV-Hooke as Educator of the Year in the Nanobiology programmes. Such a double nomination has never happened before. Although Bijoy Bera has been with TU Delft for only 4 years now, he has already become a vital teacher in the BSc-MST and MSc-ChemE programmes. Bijoy is described by students and colleagues as an incredibly dedicated, passionate, kind and sweet teacher teacher, who will go many extra miles to lead each individual student to understanding of the material. Bijoy often asks for feedback on the course during his lectures and processes it during the course itself. He tries to adapt and renew all his courses every year. In addition, he always answers questions quickly and is very accessible. If he realizes that a student is stressed, he always tries to reassure them. Also outside of class, and on topics that he doesn’t teach, students seek him out for explanations. This shows how very clear it is to the students that he cares and is approachable. In addition to all of this, Bijoy also supervises many BEP and MEP students and he puts a lot of effort into this. Many students describe him as the best teacher they have ever had. Students write: “Bijoy is always super clear.” “Bijoy teaches flawlessly.” “Bijoy did amazing, very structured.” “Bijoy always makes sure everyone is on the same page as him an completely understands what he is explaining.” “He is a really passionate, kind, sweet teacher. And he takes his student's wellbeing to heart.” “He is always prepared for the lectures and is always ready to help whenever students need it.” “Of all the teachers I have had, some stand out for their enthusiasm, willingness to help, clarity, and understanding of the fact that we are students with many courses. Bijoy Bera stands out for all of these reasons. If the class consensus is that we don't understand something, he is willing to alter his schedule to make sure we understand it first, instead of saying that we should just have understood by ourselves. Most importantly, Bijoy is fair, humble, kind, and fun.” “He connects with the students and is accessible.” With all this, it should be noted here that Bijoy teaches precisely the topics that students find very abstract and hard to grasp, like transport dynamics and process dynamics. So our hats off to his amazing didactical skills. Beyond developing and teaching his own courses, he also aids other teachers in developing their courses. For example when the Numerical Methods course was set up in a new format, using challenge-based learning, Bijoy was a vital to this development. Bijoy is a core of the TU Delft IDEE Retention team, in which he will co-supervisor a PhD student working on progression and retention of knowledge & skills. Bijoy with his team will explore how to enhance student’s progression and retention, using the bachelor Molecular Science and Technology as his `field lab’ and aims to translate the lessons learned to programs across TU Delft.

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.

Veiligere en efficiëntere bloedvatbehandelingen door innovatieve kathetertechnologie

Wereldwijd worden jaarlijks meer dan 200 miljoen katheters gebruikt voor de behandeling van vaatziekten zoals hartaandoeningen en slagadervernauwing. Hoewel essentieel, brengt het gebruik van katheters risico’s met zich mee: wrijving tussen de katheter en de vaatwand kan complicaties veroorzaken. Een nieuwe technologie, ontwikkeld door Mostafa Atalla en zijn team, biedt een oplossing. Met één druk op de knop kan de wrijving van de katheter worden aangepast, van maximale grip naar volledige gladheid. Deze innovatie belooft niet alleen veiligere, maar ook efficiëntere endovasculaire procedures mogelijk te maken. De resultaten zijn gepubliceerd in het wetenschappelijk tijdschrift IEEE. Slimme katheter met instelbare wrijving Het nieuwe katheterprototype is uitgerust met geavanceerde technologie die de wrijving tussen de katheter en vaatwand nauwkeurig reguleert via ultrasone trillingen. Dit mechanisme zet via ultrasone trillingen de dunne vloeistoflaag onder druk waardoor de wrijving dynamisch kan worden aangepast: lage wrijving voor soepele navigatie door bloedvaten en hogere wrijving voor optimale stabiliteit tijdens een procedure. Tests tonen aan dat deze techniek de wrijving op harde oppervlakken met gemiddeld 60% vermindert en op zachte oppervlakken met 11%. Veelbelovende resultaten Bij experimenten op dierlijk aortaweefsel heeft het prototype zijn potentieel bewezen. Deze innovatie kan niet alleen bij vaatbehandelingen worden ingezet, maar mogelijk ook bij andere medische procedures, zoals interventies in de darmen. De onderzoekers zijn nu bezig de technologie verder te ontwikkelen en te testen op bredere toepassingen.
