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.

Stability Analysis and Controller Design for Hysteretic Systems: The Dissipativity Approach

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
In this talk, I discuss the dissipativity property of Duhem hysteresis models which is related to the property of counter-clockwise (CCW) and clockwise (CW) systems. Under mild assumptions on the functions which define the Duhem model, an explicit construction of the storage functions is given based on the data on these functions.

The physics of glass formation: from liquids to living cells

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
The liquid-to-glass transition remains one of the deepest unsolved problems in condensed matter science. In this talk, I will first give a general introduction to the topic, and then present a novel first-principles theory that can shed new light on the physics of glass formation.

Plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition of transition metal dichalcogenides: from 2D monolayers to 3D vertical nanofins

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
2D materials have been the focus of intense research in the last decade due to their unique physical and chemical properties. This presentation will highlight our recent progress on the synthesis of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (2DTMDs) for nanoelectronics and catalysis applications using atomic layer deposition (ALD).
