Manipulating light and matter at the nanoscale

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
Nanostructured metals and semiconductors are promising building blocks for next generation solar energy conversion devices at low cost. From the optical perspective, nanostructure (NS) ensembles constitute a new class of metamaterial, where the optical properties of the ensemble are tuned by the individual NS type, geometry and collective arrangement.

WPCD Code Camp

Workshop, to
DIFFER event
From 11 to 21 June, DIFFER hosts the WPCD code camp for European fusion researchers in the EUROfusion Project on Code Development for Integrated Modelling (WPCD). WPCD supports the achievement of the European Fusion Roadmap at Horizon 2020 goals, via the development of existing modelling codes with a particular focus on integrated modelling.

Polymer membranes for gas separation

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
Polymer membranes for gas separation are extensively applied on large scale in many (petro)chemical processes. With the electrification and transition to a circular economy, the number of new applications is expanding, due to their low footprint and low energy consumption for separation.

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.
