Seminars

Seminars at DIFFER cover a wide range of topics and are held on Thursdays at 11.15 AM in the seminar room of the institute (unless otherwise stated). Seminars are open to everybody. If you are interested in visiting a DIFFER seminar or want to subscribe to our mailing list, please follow the instructions for external visitors.

Seminar, to
Arjan Houtepen
Abstract: Colloidal semiconductor nanomaterials, such as quantum dots (QDs) and nanoplatelets (NPLs), are important materials for opto-electronic applications. They are already commercialized as phosphors in displays, and intensely investigated as active materials for e.g. LEDs, lasers and photodetectors.
Seminar, to
Theo Salet
Abstract: Fundamental energy research obviously differs from a more engineering and design type of research that is performed at the department of the Built Environment due to the nature of the domain. Yet we are closely linked since a large part of the energy demand comes from our buildings, a demand that is currently in transition.
Seminar, to
Laurens Siebbeles
Abstract: Semiconductor nanomaterials such as quantum dots, nanowires and two-dimensional materials are of interest for optoelectronic applications, including solar cells, photodetectors, LEDs, lasers and photocatalysis. We study electronic excited states (excitons), charge carriers and many-body complexes thereof.
Seminar, to
Heiner Friedrich
Abstract: Advanced functional materials are at the core of chemistry and engineering research to address societal challenges related to health, energy, and sustainability.
Seminar, to
Vlado Menkovski
Abstract: Machine learning (ML) methods are taking a prominent role for surrogate modelling motivated by their capability to alleviate the high computational complexity of traditional methods. Moreover,ML-based methods are also well suited for problems where no symbolic models are available or where not all phenomena are fully understood while experimental data is available.
