Seminar, to
Julia Tjus
Abstract: In the past decade, the field of astroparticle physics has gained momentum through major advancements in theory and observations. From the observational side, the detection of high-energy neutrinos from the cosmos gives a first hint on the origin of cosmic rays. Further.
Seminar, to
Jeroen van Oijen
Abstract: In the context of decarbonization of hard-to-abate energy-intensive sectors, green hydrogen emerges as a promising alternative fuel, which allows long-term energy storage from intermittent renewable sources and can be consumed without emitting carbon dioxide.
Seminar, to
Audrey van der Meer
Abstract: To write by hand, to type, or to draw – which of these strategies is the most efficient for optimal learning in the classroom? Our brain research shows that children, from an early age, must be exposed to handwriting and drawing activities in school to establish the neuronal oscillation and connectivity patterns that are beneficial for learning.
Seminar, to
Atsushi Urakawa
Abstract: Heterogeneous catalysis plays vital roles in the production of chemicals and fuels, environmental protection and as enabler of future technologies for sustainable and circular development. However only a minute fraction of such technologies sees the commercial light after a long R&D of a few decades.
Seminar, to
Tim Slendebroek
Abstract: FUSE is an innovative computational framework designed for the holistic simulation of fusion power plant facilities. Developed in the Julia programming language, it offers unprecedented performance—delivering results 1000 times faster than traditional frameworks.
