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.

The Control of Complexity

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
Mathematical models of dynamical systems become increasingly complex as a consequence of increasing requirements on technical specifications and technological improvements. Techniques for model-based system design and model based control design therefore need to cope with high levels of complexity of mathematical models.

The Role of Catalysis in the Clean Energy Transition

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
We have far more oil, coal and gas than we can safely burn. Tackling global warming implies that we must leave most of our fossil reserves in the ground. This will require a completely different way of running our economy, shifting away from liquid fuels for mobility and deriving our chemicals and materials as much as possible from renewable resources.

Methods, Mechanism, and Applications of Photodeposition in Photocatalysis

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
Illumination of a slurry of (micrometer sized) semiconductor particles in an aqueous phase solution of a metal salt, often results in deposition of well-defined metal(oxide) nanoparticles on the surface of the semiconductor particles: this phenomenon is generally known as photodeposition.

Making the most of your presentation

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
Strong presentation skills are a key to success for engineers, scientists, and others, yetmany speakers are at a loss to tackle the task. Systematic as they otherwise can be in their work, they go at it intuitively or haphazardly, with much good will but seldom good results.

Orbital Physics in Magnetic Metal Oxides

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
(note the slightly later time of this seminar) An electron in a solid has three attributes: charge, spin, and orbital. The orbital represents the shape of the electron cloud in a solid. In magnetic metal oxides with anisotropic-shaped d-orbitals not only the Coulomb interactions are of importance, but also the quantum exchange energy is crucial for understanding their properties.
