Electromagnetics group successful in HTMS call

The Electromagnetics group (EM) of the Department of Electrical Engineering at TU/e has done well in the new grant program High Tech Systems and Materials (HTSM). The group, under supervision of professor Anton Tijhuis and Bart Smolders, received grants for no less than three projects, representing a value exceeding two million euros. In total, 9 of 32 grants have been awarded to TU/e.

For these three projects, EM – the smallest group within EE – will be collaborating with chip manufacturer NXP and photolithography machine manufacturer ASML. Smolders can explain the success of his group. “We’re working with electromagnetism and its use in antennae systems, metrology, and hyperthermia therapy (for treating tumors with electromagnetic fields, ed.). Delft and Twente lack this type of groups, so our expertise is one of a kind in the Netherlands. One top of that, it’s much sought after by businesses.”

The other HTSM grants for TU/e were awarded to dr. Albert Schenning (ST), dr.ir. Sander Nijdam (TN), prof.dr. Dick Broer (ST), prof.dr.ir. Luc Brunsveld (BMT), prof.dr.ir. Jos Brouwers, and prof.dr.ir. Meint Smit (EE).

Third of HTSM projects for TU/e

Thirty percent of the latest funding round within the High Tech Systems and Materials (HTSM) program has been awarded to TU/e. Out of 26 accepted proposals, eight were submitted by TU/e. TU Delft is the only university doing better with eleven funded projects. The third university of technology, Twente, only received a single grant.

Starting Grants voor biomedical research

Two TU/e researchers have been informed that their applications for the prestigious Starting Grant of the European research Council (ERC) have been approved. Dr.ir. Remco Duits (Biomedical Engineering and Mathematics & Computer Science) will use the grant to further develop a technique for medical image analysis he devised. Dr. Sandra Hofmann Boss (Biomedical Engineering) wants to expose cultured bone tissue to mechanical loads in an attempt to learn more about osteoporosis.

Telecom prize for Eindhoven dissertation on antennae

Dr.ir. Johan van den Heuvel, who received his doctoral degree from the TU/e Department of Electrical Engineering, has been awarded the Veder Prize for his Dissertation on the improvement of wireless communication through multiple-antennae systems. Van den Heuvel was presented with the prize at a meeting of the Netherlands Electronics and Radio Fellowship (NERG). He researched the possibilities of reaching high data speeds with low power by using wireless multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems.

More than half major Valorization Grants for TU/e

Technology Foundation STW has awarded four out of seven Phase-2 Valorization Grants from the fall round of 2012 to TU/e researchers. The researchers will be receiving a maximum of 200,000 euro towards making a technological invention appeal to commercial investors in two years’ time. Despite this success, none of the eleven smaller Phase-1 grants (of 25,000 euro) for feasibility studies were awarded to TU/e applicants.

Rubicon Grant for researcher Biomedical Engineering

Dr. Maartje Bastings, who recently received her doctoral degree from the Department of Biomedical Engineering, and nineteen other ‘brand new’ doctors have received a Rubicon Grant. The promising scientists will be supported by research financer NOW and are free to gain experience abroad. Most of the grantees will be staying across the border for two years. Bastings will be leaving for Harvard with a two-year grant for the development of fake viruses that can be used as new cancer vaccines.

Two European research grants for TU/e

The European Research Council (ERC) will be awarding nearly 800 million euros in research grants, divided among hundreds of young top scientists. The Netherlands are doing a good job with 51 of these starting grants. TU/e will ‘only’ be receiving two. Dr. Yves Bellouard of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and dr. Patricia Dankers of the Department of Biomedical Engineering were awarded the grants.
