Student TU/e found dead in spacebox
Spinoza Prize for TU/e professor René Janssen 12 June - University Professor René Janssen will be awarded a Spinoza Prize by NWO amounting to 2.5 million euro. The Spinoza Prize, which has been awarded every year since 1995, is the highest Dutch scientific distinction. After Rutger van Santen (1997) and Bert Meijer (2001), Jansen is the third professor from TU/e upon whom this honor is conferred. René Janssen is an expert in the field of plastic solar cells and electronics. The University Professor’s research group, Molecular Materials and Nanosystems (M2N), forms a bridge between the Departments of Applied Physics and Chemical Engineering and Chemistry, which enables him to combine the expertise of both disciplines.
11 June - A 22-year-old student of TU/e was found dead in one of the spaceboxes at the campus Wednesday afternoon. Bibin Isac was a master student of Embedded Systems. Isac Bibin was born in Oman. He studied electrical engineering at Vellore Institute in India. Bibin took the master Embedded Systems at TU/e since February this year. His death comes as a big shock to his fellow students and the teachers of the master Embedded Systems and to the departments of Mathematics and Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. In room MF3.140 on the third floor of MetaForum, a condolence book is available to anybody who would like to leave a personal message.

The cantus is a valuable tradition to Executive Board member Jo van Ham. “I’d love to maintain that sense of togetherness, but beer binging isn’t quite my priority. We’ll have to wait and see what will happen.” The Central Intro Committee was struggling with the new alcohol legislation last year already but then opted for near-beer. The new water fest will take place on the field between Auditorium and Vertigo on Friday, after the departmental hangover breakfasts. Activities will include assaulting ‘rival’ Intro groups with water balloons.

Romantic Rain
Ever since my first time in the Netherlands I have been amazed at how the Dutch cuss when it rains. After two years here and of course many downpours, I still find rain romantic! Yes you heard (or rather read) it right: I find rain romantic. I grew up in Mumbai with an annual rainy season or monsoon. The monsoon can bring the city to a stop, but never our spirits. Rain means hot cups of warm spiced tea with milk (Chai), and fried onion fritters (Bhajias). This is a common way to enjoy rain, all the while watching Bollywood movies where the hero saves the damsel in distress in torrential rains, after which they dance in this very rain to celebrate love and life.
I find myself longing for rain (very, very secretly) even in the low countries after a dry spell of a few weeks. I have had my share of being surprised under open skies to free, cold - extremely cold - showers, but that does not dampen my spirit. It just makes me crave Chai and Bhajias. So while I empathize with my Dutch friends around me, I secretly also wish they discovered their own Chai and Bhajia to enjoy the beauty of Dutch rain from their beautiful windows.

And how are things in Linköping? More and more TU/e students go abroad for their studies to follow courses, internships or a doctorate path. What is it like to find your way in a new country? Students tell their stories.
My name is Daniel Haug and I’ve spent last semester in Linköping, Sweden. My adventure started in January and is now coming to a close. Prior to my stay in Sweden, I thought the country was quite structured, with many excellent universities, gorgeous women, expensive beer, and cold. Six months later not much has changed, really. Everything is well-organized, the ladies are eye candy, the beer is pricey, and although it wasn’t freezing, saying the temperature was pleasant is a stretch. Still, there was one particular phenomenon I wasn’t ready for: queuing. Swedes enjoy standing in line. As crazy as it may sound, it’s the truth. If you want to go to a student party, you might stand in line until midnight. And maybe it sounds dumb, but queueing isn’t all that bad. Everyone gets a number upon arrival, and then you’re supposed to remain in the building, but you can do whatever you want. This one night, my friends and I saw all Harry Potter movies. Still, even though isn’t as unpleasant as I thought, I’m happy I’m back in the Netherlands and just hit F5 whenever I want to attend a party or festival. Apart from regular university life, I’ve been on several trips. Conclusion: Scandinavia is crazy beautiful. And there was coursework to be done, of course, because I was there for credits. The courses (Industriel Engeneering) were similar to those in the Netherlands, but a little less thorough. See you all again soon in our little country!

What are you doing now? I am working as a senior SAP BI consultant, which means I implement SAP BI project for clients, mainly big internationals. It was my intention to do someth ing softwarerelated. I got a chance to enter the SAP world and I have always been enjoying that. Was it difficult to find a job? No, I was lucky that I could find a job easily because of the good job market at that time. I visited a career event in Utrecht (Carrièrebeurs) and got a job as result. How do you reflect on your time at TU/e? I wanted to study in the Netherlands. I heard from other Chinese student s that Dutch people are open and nice to foreigners. Moreover, I liked to come to Europe because of its rich history and good environment. TU/e offered me the right program to study. I had a great time at the university, and during my stay I got the chance to learn the language and about Dutch culture.
What happens to international students after they graduate from TU/e? Do they go job hunting in the Netherlands, pack their bags and explore the world, or return to their home countries? International TU/e graduates talk about their lives after TU/e.
What are your plans for the (near) future? I would like to grow my company to a certain size and then to stay small. I’m conside ring introducing young graduates to the world of SAP. I don’t intend to go to another country. I do miss my family in China but I cannot return to China easily because my kids are growing up here. I like the friendliness of the Dutch people as well as the overall environment.

Plastic professor in the spotlight Interview | Tom Jeltes Photos | Bart van Overbeeke TU/e now boasts one more Spinoza laureate. Last Friday the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) announced that University Professor René Janssen, following in the footsteps of Rutger van Santen (1997) and Bert Meijer (2001), has joined the select company of Eindhoven winners of this ‘Dutch Nobel Prize’. For Janssen the prize of 2.5 million euro forms the crowning achievement with his Molecular Materials and Nanosystems research group he belongs to the world’s best in the field of plastic solar cells in particular. For the amiable, modest professor from the province of Limburg (1959) the Spinoza Prize comes as a big, pleasant surprise. “It is especially a magnificent recognition of the results achieved by all the people in our whole group. It is such an honor to be selected from all the lists of candidates, and I find it gratifying to notice that people appear to have every confidence that what I am going to use the prize for will also be worthwhile.” After all, the latter aspect forms a contrast between this most important of Dutch scientific awards and the Nobel Prize: the Spinoza Prize must be deployed for a scientific purpose. “You cannot use
it to finance a holiday or buy a red Ferrari, but neither would agree with me anyhow.” So Janssen will be using the money to expand the research conducted in his Molecular Materials and Nanosystems (M2N) group and expects that he will be recruiting various new people for this. Although I haven’t considered the details yet, the good thing about a Spinoza Prize is that you can start working on Monday morning on an idea that you’ve come up with on Sunday evening, so to speak. In principle, any plan for research is a good one.” The University Professor expects that he will divide
the money between three lines of research, as he clarifies. “I think that I have earned this prize with our work on organic electronics, particularly solar cells. So we are definitely going to continue that. In addition, two years ago I was given a European Advanced Grant for research on solar fuels. Now we can add some extra clout to that line.” A more recent interest of Janssen’s is perovskite. This new semiconductor has become a bit of a hype, because - like the organic semi conductors in which Janssen has specialized - it is simple and cheap to process, whilst the efficiency of perovskite solar cells can already compete with silicon cells. Which for now is beyond the reach of plastic solar cells. In M2N, too, they have already conducted research into perovskite, says Janssen, but its scope can now be widened thanks to the Spinoza Prize.
“Chemical engineers are real doers, physicists are more exact scientists”
The Spinoza award.
What is unique about the work done by René Janssen, as NWO emphasized upon the announcement of the Spinoza Prize, is that in his M2N research group he succeeds in combining chemistry and physics, and fundamental and applied research. For this purpose, the group has a multidisciplinary composition and forms part of both the Applied Physics and the Chemical Engineering and Chemistry Departments. In a general sense Janssen is involved with organic (carbonaceous) materials that ‘do something’ with light or electricity. Organic (plastic) solar cells, then, but also organic transistors, sensors, memories and light-emitting diodes. The chemists and physicists in his group reinforce each other, Janssen underlines. “Physicists are more
exact scientists, they prefer to make a model first in order to find out how something works. Chemists, on the other hand, are real doers, who will more easily just try something out in practice.” Intrinsically, too, the two professional groups are complementary. “Chemists are needed to make a material”, he explains. “And you need physics to use the material and to understand the processes.” The transition to a more sustainable energy supply forms an important motivation for Janssen’s research. Plastic solar cells may have an important part in this pursuit, although for the time being their efficiency lags behind that produced by commercial silicon cells. That is why in recent years M2N experimented a lot with stacking plastic solar cells with a different composition on top of each other. The benefit of this is that a broader portion of the solar spectrum is utilized. Moreover, the voltage generated is also relatively high, for you can add up the voltages of the different layers.
For inorganic materials - like silicon - stacking is far more difficult. This makes Janssen’s plastic ‘tandem’ and ‘triple junction’ cells eminently suited for the production of solar fuel cells via chemical reactions, for which a relatively high voltage is required. In this process the solar energy is not converted into electricity (which is relatively difficult to store and transport), but directly into a liquid or gaseous fuel. Two years ago Janssen managed to convince the European Research Council (ERC) of this as well: it landed him a prestigious Advanced Grant worth 2.5 million euro to research how he can deploy his solar cells to make such ‘solar fuels’. In an interview with Cursor occasioned by his Advanced Grant Janssen sketched the greater goal he envisages. “Now there is only a power cable coming out of your solar panel, but in the future it should be possible to connect your solar cells to the water supply, with an exhaust to the gas network.” Thanks to the Spinoza Prize that future may have come a little bit more within reach now.
Prize list Of course the Spinoza Prize is not the first distinction for Janssen. Thus, even in 1999 he received the Pioneer Prize of NWO-CW and a year later the Research Prize from the KIVI-NIRIA engineers’ association. Also, in 2000 he was awarded the European Descartes Prize for his contribution to a project around plastic electronics. In 2011 he was elected to become a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) and two years ago he was appointed University Professor at TU/e. In the same year he also received a prestigious Advanced Grant (of 2.5 million euro) from the European Research Council for research into solar fuels.
Made at TU/e Janssen is a real TU/e man. He studied Chemical Engineering and Chemistry in Eindhoven and also obtained his PhD at TU/e. Even during his doctoral research he was employed by the Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry, first as Assistant Professor and since 1991 as Associate Professor. Since 2000 he has been affiliated with that Department as Professor; in 2003 an appointment at Applied Physics was added. Apart from this, he was affiliated with the University of California in Santa Barbara as associate researcher for a period in the early 1990s. It was here that when working with the later Nobel Prize winner Alan J. Heeger he learned about the conductive properties of plastic. And for several years he was a visiting professor in Angers (France).

People with Protractors Rule! (aka How Engineers Change the World) Text | Angela Daley Photo | Bart van Overbeeke When you’re eyeball deep into exams, projects and deadlines and stress has a steely grip around your throat, you might sometimes think: Why, oh WHY, did I choose this area of study? I mean, wouldn’t I be happier as a yoga teacher or pilot? If you’ve ever suffered an existential moment about your given career track, this article is for you. Think of it as a combination pat on the back, fist bump and high five for all that hard work you did the past year and confirmation that one day soon, you too will go out there and make the world a better place.
While you might not ever build a Hoover Dam or grow a heart in a lab, choosing a career in engineering can be a first step towards doing some pretty monumental, worldchanging or, at the very least, interesting projects. Take, for example, the following list of fabulous things engineers have contributed (or are contributing) to the betterment of society. (cue the heroic theme music here)
The Panama Canal Though this 77-kilometer ship canal - cut through the unforgiving jungles of the Isthmus of Panama was completed only a little more than a hundred years ago, the idea of shrinking the distance between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans was a long-held dream for many countries. Indeed, the first plans for a passage were spearheaded by Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V, in 1534 but his surveyors decided the feat was an impossibility. Eventually, technology caught up with ambition and the French arrived on the scene in 1881. Their project, headed by national hero Ferdinand de Lesseps, developer of the Suez Canal, was a disaster mired in engineering problems and tropical disease that cost the lives of 20,000 workers. In the late 1800s, the Americans took over and the canal was eventually finished in 1914. (After another 5,000 workers died completing it.) The Panama Canal is not only an amazing feat of engineering because of its sheer size - it’s often called the 8th Wonder of the World - but also because of its many ingenious solutions. For instance, it’s filled with fresh water that separates the salt water and flora and fauna of the two oceans while a man-made lake acts as a basin, supplying the canal with water from
the surrounding rainforest. To travel from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific, the 14,000 ships that use the canal annually must bridge a 26-meter height difference through a series of three locks. Ships pay enormous tolls based on their size and cargo to use the canal (think hundreds of thousands of Euros) but it’s still cheaper than sailing all the way around South America.
The Palm The largest man-made archipelago in the world, the Palm Islands in Dubai, is an engineering colossus. Construction started in 2001, and making the islands - named after the shape of the islands, not the plants - involved mainly filling the seabed with sand; 94 million cubic meters of the stuff, to be exact, along with seven million tons of rock. Thanks to the new island chain, Dubai now has an additional 520 kilometers of beaches that will eventually be filled with luxury hotels, high-end homes and theme parks. Only Jumeirah Island is open to the public at the moment and setbacks have stalled the completion of the other island, called Palm Jebel Ali.
Smart Mobility Imagine a world where vehicles “talk” to each other. Information zips back and forth between your car, the road infrastructure, and other cars via smart technology embedded into your vehicle’s systems and your mobile phone. Constant, real-time information keeps you updated on anything from imminent potential accidents further up the road to weather conditions to that sleepy driver beside you who’s drifting into your lane. This information will let you know when to brake, when to
swerve, and when to alter your route. And in the future, your car will use this information to drive for you, automatically. Though it may sound like the stuff of science fiction, many experts agree that this is what the future of driving will be. There won’t be any accidents, traffic jams will be a thing of the past and our reliance on fossil fuels will dwindle. And at various companies and research institutions around the world - including right here at TU/e - engineers are working to make that future a reality. Roadways full of self-driving vehicles are still a long way off, but there’s still a lot of cool stuff happening now: from cars that’ll park for you (and get you out of that tight spot afterwards such as the 2015 Lincoln MKC) to Audi’s self-driving A7, nicknamed Jack, that uses six radars, three cameras, and two light detection and ranging (LIDAR) units to analyze the road, choose the optimal path and stick to it while the driver leans back and enjoys the ride, hands-free.
The Large Hadron Collider The world’s largest and highest particle-energy accelerator has helped change modern physics and took thousands of scientists, engineers and technicians decades to plan and build. Built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), the LHC consists of a 27-kilometer ring of superconducting magnets tucked away in a network of underground tunnels near Geneva, Switzerland. Inside the accelerator, two high-energy particle beams travel at close to the speed of light before they smash together - the extreme energy produced by this event creates new, unknown particles. The LHC pushes the boundaries of scientific
knowledge and was built to answer many basic questions of science and the universe. After a two-year hiatus for upgrades, the LHC went back into action in April, 2015.
gradually integrate with those of the patient. The new technology eradicates the need for anti-rejection drugs because the patient’s body recognizes the new skin as its own.
Tissue Engineering
Three Gorges Dam
When the Jarvik 7 artificial heart was implanted into retired dentist Barney Clark in 1982, the world heralded the event as an extraor dinary medical breakthrough. Since then, artificial joints and organs have become almost common place, extending human life and keeping us mobile, longer. But implanting foreign objects into our bodies comes with a host of problems, namely rejection. What researchers really want to do again, including our own Biomedical Engineering Department - is to use our own living cells to produce whole organs or replacement parts. Need a new kidney? No problem, we’ll just grow a new one for you in the lab. Or maybe your child was born with a faulty heart valve? That’s okay. Here’s one produced from her own stem cells that will grow with her heart as she gets bigger. Though tissue engineering is still a burgeoning field, its first contribution to health care took a big step forward by producing an artificial version of the body’s largest organ - skin. Skin is a difficult organ to transplant because of its inherently strong immune defense system but, at the same time, it has a fairly simple structure, making it a good testing ground for tissue engineers. It’s an incredibly costly process but, today, patients can have skin made to order that combines collagen as a binder with their body’s own living cells. It’s then placed onto a wound, usually a chronic ulcer or a burn, and the cells become activated and
Want to see some really cool projects that will make the geek in you weep with pride? Go to China. From the Great Wall to the BeijingShanghai high speed rail line to Beijing’s elegant Bird’s Nest stadium, the Middle Kingdom is chockfull of bold, bigger-than-life engineering accomplishments. Take, for instance, the Three Gorges Dam, located on the Yangtze River and one of China’s largest construction projects since the Great Wall. This massive dam is five times the size of the US’s Hoover Dam, measuring at 2.4 kilometers wide and over 183 meters high. It creates a reservoir 660 kilometers long and electricity equal to 18 nuclear power plants for the Yiling District of Yichang. Not only does it produce electricity for the area, it also increases shipping capacity and provides flood storage space. Unfortunately, the dam is also a source of controversy both within China and abroad - its creation flooded cultural and archeological sites and displaced some 1.3 million people. There… feeling better about becoming an engineer? As you slog through the end-of-year stress of academic life (or begin the angstridden quest for your first job) and those little seeds of doubt enter your brain, remind yourself of this one thing: the world is out there waiting for your creativity, your passion and your technical expertise. The world is waiting for you to change it.

1 | cover The small white spheres are water molecules that I condensed into water droplets. Following the spiral, you first see the location of the diaphragm that separates the low-pressure from the high-pressure area of my experimental set-up (a Pulse-Expansion Wave Tube, as it is called). Then there’s the outer wall of the low-pressure section, followed by the part in the high-pressure area where we study the water droplets. The green gleam comes from the laser we use to measure the number and size of the droplets. If you look closely, you can also see the pressure sensors in the wall of the tube. Finally, in the picture below, you see the small tube we used to measure the surface tension of supercooled water (water with a temperature far below zero) at the Institute of Thermodynamics in Prague.
2 | parties I’ve studied how water drops are formed in a mixture of water vapor, and nitrogen or helium. What’s different from the way drops form in everyday life - in the bathroom or on a car window, is that there are no dust particles or cold surfaces involved in the formation of the drops. The droplets are created by suddenly, in a split second, lowering the pressure in the tube by instantly ripping the plastic diaphragm between the high-pressure and low-pressure area. The drops appear the moment the temperature in the tube drops because of the rapid pressure reduction.
3 | essential The Pulse-Expansion Wave Tube has been essential, obviously. We got it from Applied Physics; our technicians have been extremely important to improve the tube and get it up and running again.

Driving more safely and comfortably 1 | cover The cover of my thesis features a drawing of the car I’ve been studying for four years now. The actuators I use have been highlighted in red to point out I’ve been working on active suspension and the steering system of the car. The two lines symbolize a correct route, and one where the car spins and doesn’t do what the driver wants.
2 | parties Considering the active suspension, I usually tell people I have a car that can switch between swaying shock damping like in an American car, and a rather ‘hard’ car like a fast sports car. I’ve developed a controller that enhances comfort by combining the best of both worlds and eliminates the bad parts. I try to visualize the steering part (steer-by-wire) by referring to drifting cars. Drifting is something only experts can do, but steer-by-wire enables anyone to do it because the car does it for you. In emergencies, when the car doesn’t do what you want it to, it could solve the problem by steering itself.
3 | essential The BMW 318i, my research platform, has been indispensable to my research project, as were the shock absorbers developed by Tractive Suspension.
4 | society benefit Most importantly, it contributes to a safer vehicle thanks to the active steering, and it provides an economical solution to increase vehicle comfort (by more than 10%).

Robots at home
1 | cover The cover of my dissertation has AMIGO and SERGIO on it, TU/e’s care robots. The development of SERGIO is one of the subjects of my dissertation. The second is navigation. You can see how the model the robots use for navigation has changed over the years: from a flat map to a 3D model consisting of tiny blocks to a model in which objects - here a wall, a cabinet, and a coffee table - are recognizable individually.
2 | parties In time, the robots we’re developing will help around the house and in care environments. Think serving food and doing the dishes.
3 | essential AMIGO was completed the exact moment I started my research. All software that has been developed in the years after that has been tested on that robot. And what we’ve learnt from AMIGO has served as essential input for the development of SERGIO. So yes, AMIGO had been vital to my research.
4 | society benefit Because our population is ageing there’s a growing need for care, but the number of people who can provide that care is decreasing. In the future, robots could solve part of that problem by supporting care staff.
