We believe in our duty to share knowledge through weekly seminars, regularly workshops and other events. on this page you'll find events organized in the past. If you're interested in upcoming events visit the Events page. Our weekly seminars at DIFFER cover a wide range of topics and are open to everybody. Please, read more on our dedicated Seminars page. You can find specific information for external visitors and subscribe to our seminar mailinglist on this page.

In Situ Investigation of Dynamic Processes in Energy Materials

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
It is critical to understand how electrochemical materials change, transform, and degrade within devices to enable the development of next-generation energy storage and conversion systems. In my research group, multi-scale in situ techniques are used to reveal reaction mechanisms and interfacial transformations in materials for batteries and catalysis.

Drop deformation and splashing upon (laser-pulse) impact

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
The impact of a laser pulse onto a liquid drop can lead to a violent response: plasma formation and local boiling induce a strong propulsion and deformation of the drop and eventually rupture the liquid into tiny pieces. When drops impact onto a solid surface, similar deformation and fragmentation occurs.

PFMC-17 Conference on Plasma Facing Materials

Symposium, to
DIFFER event
The performances of fusion devices and of future fusion power plants strongly depend on the plasma-facing materials and components. Resistance to heat and particle loads, compatibility in plasma operations, thermo-mechanical properties, as well as the response to neutron irradiation are critical parameters which need to be understood and tailored from atomistic to component levels.

A sustainable electric energy future, how?

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
Electricity is the fuel of choice for the future. Abundant variable renewables become available and advanced power electronics run our power system. Peter Vaessen, from DNVGL KEMA Laboratories and part time professor at TU Delft, will talk about the Energy Transition.

Self-assembly processes in (biological) soft matter

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
Tailoring the self- and co-assembly pathways of amphiphilic and double hydrophilic block copolymers by modulation of both equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium routes enables the non-covalent synthesis of well-defined, nanostructured hydrocolloids with a hierarchical internal structure, tuneable dynamics, and interesting functional properties.
