Seminar, to
Hans Goedbloed - DIFFER
Abstract: For more than a century after the seminal paper by Gustav Mie (1908) on scattering of electromagnetic waves by a dielectric substance, the concept of "leaky modes" has been central in the interpretation of observed spectra from these media.
Seminar, to
Dr. Qinghao Wang - Peking University
Abstract: Artificial intelligence is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by recent advances in AI agents, multimodal foundation models, and embodied intelligence.
Seminar, to
Mierk Schwabe - Researcher at German Aerospace Center
Abstract: Earth system models typically have coarse horizontal resolutions of the order of tens of kilometers, which do not resolve many of the processes occurring in the Earth system, such as turbulence in the atmospheric boundary layer.
Seminar, to
Greg De Temmerman - Director Deeptech and Spin-Off Excellence at Techleap
Abstract: While the term deeptech is rather old, it has known a resurgence in the past 10 years and has recently become a priority topic for many countries out of concerns about climate change, energy security, competitiveness, resilience, etc.
Seminar, to
Jorgen D’Hondt - Nikhef director
Abstract: What is the universe made of, and how does it work at its most fundamental level? At Nikhef, the Dutch national institute for subatomic physics, scientists tackle these questions by combining developments in theory, experiment, and advanced technology.
