Detecting collisions of Dark Matter with ordinary matter

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
There is strong cosmological and astrophysical evidence that more than 85% of the matter in the Universe is composed of non-luminous --dark-- matter, which is fundamentally different from ordinary matter. Of the many candidate particles, Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), arising in extensions to the Standard Model, are particularly well-motivated.

Ultra-Thin Film Magnetism, From Magnetic Kink Solitons to Photonic Integration

Seminar, to
DIFFER event
In this talk I will give an overview of my work on ultra-thin magnetic films (1 nm) and hope to convey my excitement of the incredibly rich physics playground it offers. For instance; the recent observation that relativistic effects, initially considered useless/undetectable, have huge (unexpected) impact on magnetic nanotechnology.

Opening event Centre for Computational Energy Research

Event, to
DIFFER event
On June 21st, 2017 the joint TU/e-DIFFER Center for Computational Energy Research (CCER) will be officially opened. The CCER aims to explore pathways to future energy systems via computational methods. The ambition is to complement experimental research in unlocking scalable energy solutions for mid-century and beyond.
