TU/e student helps people of Nepal after devastating earthquakes 19 May - TU/e student of Operations, Management and Logistics Tobias Ouwerkerk has recently left Singapore suddenly to head for Nepal. He’s there to help the victims of the earthquakes by joining the Nepal Grassroots Recovery organization, which was co-founded by a friend. “Our goal is to provide emergency food and shelter for the displaced people of Nepal. With monsoon season less than one month away, we have been working 15hr days, providing both immediate and long term aid to the devastated villages in the remote regions of Sindhupulchowk, Nepal, the most affected district region of Nepal. Since we are a small organization, we can act faster, more flexible and with less overhead then the bigger disaster relief organizations.”

How to order bitte rballen in Dutch 13 May - There’s

a new game that helps foreign students learn Dutch even before they arrive in the Neth erlands. They acqu ire the language with the help of six Dutch friends, thirty mini games, and five levels. Th e free app Hoi Holland! has been designed es pecially for foreign student s who are about to spend some time here. Th ey learn their way around the grocery store and what to say at birthday parties or in publ ic transportation. They’re also taught how to order bitterballen .

Major NWO grants for three TU/e chemists 18 May - Three researchers from TU/e have received a Vidi grant from NWO (Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research) for a maximum of 800,000 euros to set up their own research line. The three winners, all of them from the Department of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry, are Maaike Kroon, Ilja Voets and Timothy Noël. The Vidi grants are part of the NWO’s Research Incentives Scheme, which consists of Veni, Vidi and Vici awards. Vidi is aimed at excellent scientists who have already completed a number of years of successful research. These researchers are among the top ten or twenty percent in their field.

TU/e professor Hans Kuipers joins KNAW 12 May - TU/e professor Hans Kuipers is one of sixteen new members of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW). Membership is a great honor for scientists, and only attainable for excellent Dutch researchers. Kuipers is the twelfth TU/e professor who has been elected a KNAW member. The professor of Multiscale Modeling of Multiphase Flows at the Department of Chemical Engineering studies multiphase flows like liquid-gas or gas-solid. This year marks the first time KNAW welcomes as many women as men to the exclusive science society. KNAW now has 248 members, including 46 women.

Hoi Holland!, a serious game about Dutch language and culture - a quick review

Earlier this week EP-NUFFIC launched what is meant to be “your first step towards mastering the Dutch language. It shows you how much fun it can be to learn Dutch” and also helps you discover some typical aspects of culture. This is serious business because “by playing Hoi Holland! you will learn some basics of Dutch: understanding and speaking Dutch makes everyday activities, such as grocery shopping or going to a restaurant, a little easier and more fun”. And because of its intercultural nature, it also helps you “to connect with Dutch students and make new friends!” Next to this clearly playful approach the app also provides information about looking for an internship, volunteer work or a (part-time) job. All situations where speaking Dutch proves very useful or even a requirement. Although I don’t directly belong to the target group (i.e. internationals already here or about to come to study or work), I was, as a professional involved in intercultural matters, curious to take the journey into this survival kit for Dutch language and culture. My first impression: No gray shades but an attractive, energetic orange (of course!) color and symbolic tulips throughout the game, so never a dull moment. It offers 5 levels of language learning and cultural, behavioral information. After completing all 5 of them, you are rewarded: you can read (in Dutch of course) the success story of Xavier, who is an international student who came here 2 years ago and has now settled because he has learned the language. A clear encouraging message and a good example to follow. Each level

(Schiphol as #1) contains language situations and the cultural item ‘Typisch Nederlands’ along with the somewhat mysterious game all Dutch kids know: ‘Ik zie, ik zie wat jij niet ziet’ (I spy with my little eye). Other levels feature topics ranging from ‘In de kroeg’, ‘Boodschappen’ to the ultimate level of cultural premastery: … ‘Verjaardag’ (birthday), oh it’s so Dutch in there! Methodologically, the game pursues the dual intercultural approach of combining external adaptation of the locals toward their international guests with internal integration of the internationals into Dutch society. A solid didactic foundation. It is fun, informative in its use and indeed reflects the uniqueness of some aspects of Dutch life, i.e. : ‘Ga toch fietsen’ (isn’t this a bit moralistic?), ‘Borrelen’, but also ‘Melk is goed voor elk’, ‘Een bloemetje voor meneer’ (the Netherlands is about the only country in the world where giving flowers to men is common), and finally the highly typical ‘Gefeliciteerd’ when guests at a birthday party congratulate one another about the birthday of their common friend. Personally, I found navigating sometimes tricky and some instructions not entirely clear, but maybe I’m not as agile as the younger generation that clearly constitutes the intended users. Curious? Go to: http://www.studyinholland.nl/hoiholland and play! Oh and by the way, rumor has it they are now preparing a less serious game as a follow-up to Hoi Holland! Its topic? Sports. Its name? Hup Holland!

And how are things in Berlin? More and more TU/e students go abroad for their studies to follow courses, internships or a doctorate path. What is it like to find your way in a new country? Students tell their stories.

It’s two-thirds the size of the entire province of Utrecht, it never sleeps, not even in the middle of the winter, and there’s a constant, pungent smell of bratwurst and currywurst in the air. We’re talking Berlin, the flourishing metropolis. With its multicultural inhabitants, umpteen students and underground parties that can last for days, Berlin offers up daily new encounters. It is great to experience the Berlin night life from up close. But be careful: the Berlin underground scene can be addictive. Weekends are usually spent in one of the many public parks Berlin has to offer. You grill, enjoy beers with friends and listen to the street performer that is never more than twenty-five meters away, all in a jovial atmosphere. Don’t like his tunes? Just turn around and pick the next musician. There is no shortage of music in this city! And there’s always time for Berlin coffeehouses. There’s nothing like a good coffee and a slice of ‘Kuchen’ on a Sunday afternoon watching in amazement at all the hippies passing by. Are you an adventurer? Then I recommend visiting one of the many ruins. You can venture into deserted swimming pools, ballrooms, anatomical institutes, embassies – even an amusement park and airport! To many tourists it’s a sport to visit as many ruins as possible. I have to admit, each of them is more impressive than the last. You don’t speak German? No problem, if you speak English you’ll do just fine. After a few weeks you will have no trouble chatting in German, anyway.

What happens to international students after they graduate from TU/e? Do they go job hunting in the Netherlands, pack their bags and explore the world, or return to their home countries? International TU/e graduates talk about their lives after TU/e.

Was this what you intended to do? In this field yes, but not necessarily in these particular positions. Having said that, I’m very proud of where I am. As a foreigner, being given the trust and responsibility to lead such emblematic public organizations of the Eindhoven cultural sector gives me a huge sense of acceptance and recognition. Was it difficult to find a job? Not really. I see jobs as projects, regardless of how long they will take. There are points where I feel there is time for change, and embracing that change I reflect on how to conclude what I am doing, and what is it that I would like to do next. Sometimes there are huge coincidences and you meet the right people at the right time, but essentially, I tend to take action and create opportunities to share my vision and ideas with relevant parties. I am engaged in the contexts I want to work with naturally and in a pro-active way. How do you reflect on your time at TU/e? I met one of the Industrial Design professors, Matthias Rauterberg, at the FMX Festival in Stuttgart in 2006. Both our work was featured at the festival, and after a few conversations, the opportunity arose to work with him in Eindhoven. To me it makes sense that many of my friends were originally colleagues at TU/e, so whether I’m employed by TU/e or not I will always feel connected to and part of it. It has been a time of professional and personal development. Will you stay in the Netherlands? I was born and raised in Portugal. Since 2002, I have lived in Belgium , Norway, the Czech Republic, and France. I moved to the Netherlands in 2007. While it was very exciting to live in different countries for a while, at some point you want to be based somewhere. Portugal will always be my home, but right now the Netherla nds feels quite like home, too. What advice would you give current students? You cannot travel enough. The more you see, the broader your horizon . What I always advised my own students was to look at their studies as part of their career development. A career doesn’t start upon graduation. A career starts when you start developing yourself. Studying is a great opportunity to network and show what you can do. If by the end of your studies you have been in touch with the right people and organizations professionally, in the context of your studies and, then that gives you a more realistic professional preparation for the future.

DIFFER-

upon-Dommel

Last week, employees of the Dutch Institute for Fundamental Energy Research (DIFFER) started in their brand new home on campus. To get an idea of what DIFFER researches and how that connects with the TU/e community, Cursor took stock and interviewed several researchers at the institute just before the move. On May 11, 140 DIFFER employees moved into their new offices on TU/e campus. Being physically close, existing collaborations between the institute and the university - fusion experts Marco de Baar and Tony DonnĂŠ were

already part-time professors at TU/e, for example -will become even easier. DIFFER and its employees will have TU/e facilities at their disposal, including NanoLab@TU/e, lecture theaters, the library, and the sports center -almost as if DIFFER

were the tenth TU/e department. And it works both ways, because the experimental setups and workshop of DIFFER are open to TU/e people, too. Research at DIFFER can be divided into two themes: nuclear fusion and solar fuels. Fusion research was an important subject already when the institute was still known as the FOM Institute for Plasma Physics Rijnhuizen. The institute was and is contributing to preparations for ITER, the experimental nuclear fusion reactor that is being

constructed at the Cadarache research center in the south of France. The aim of ITER is to generate nuclear fusion in extremely hot plasma that is being held in place by means of magnetic fields. DIFFER has one-of-a-kind setups to mimic the conditions near the fusion reactor wall: plasma generators Magnum-PSI and Pilot-PSI. ITER uses these to test and research how wall materials hold up under realistic plasma pressure.

The dynamics of the fusion plasma greatly affect the efficiency of the reactor as well. That’s why DIFFER works on computer simulations of the plasma and develops diagnostic techniques to measure the plasma parameters. The institute also develops control systems to regulate the conditions inside the plasma and is thinking of the best ways to maintain the reactor. When in 2012 Rijnhuizen changed its mission and continued as DIFFER, a new line of research was introduced gradually: one

“We are getting closer to ITER conditions still”

Brit Thomas Morgan works with Magnum-PSI, which is the only setup in the world that can mimic the ITER exhaust being exposed to hot particles experimentally. A plasma is directed by magnetic fields to a target. Magnum-PSI is fifteen meters in length and the lab it is located at has five-centimeter thick iron walls to keep the magnetic field inside. “One of the great challenges for ITER will be finding a material that can withstand the electricity coming from the blazing hot particles from the plasma”, says Morgan. “The heat flux, as it is called, is in the dozens Megawatts per square meter, comparable to that of the sun. We use the magnetic fields to guide the plasma and keep it warm, and so we create conditions that are similar to those in ITER.” Whereas in Nieuwegein they worked with copper coils, Eindhoven will have a superconducting magnet at its disposal, says Morgan. The magnet enables DIFFER to expose materials to the plasma pretty much continuously.

“So far, we have had to work with pulses lasting only a few seconds lest the coils get too hot. Soon, that will be a thing of the past and that will bring us closer to the actual conditions in ITER, which will be running for six to seven minutes on end.” Morgan and his colleagues plan to study how materials react to being exposed to extreme plasma conditions,

but they also intend to find out if perhaps the plasma flow can be cooled by injecting a cold gas. The new building will also feature an ion beam facility for in situ material research, a unique extra for both the PSI lab and the Solar Fuels group. Morgan’s group has been working in close collaboration with TU/e for years, both with Professor Niek Lopes-Cardozo’s Fusion group and the interdisciplinary master track Science and Technology of Nuclear Fusion. On top of that, DIFFER and TU/e appointed six common PhD candidates last year, several of whom are supervised by Morgan himself. “It has become much more convenient to supervise those candidates. If we want to meet, we just walk across campus.”

that focuses on efficiently storing sustainably generated energy (particularly sunlight) as fuels. The fuels are needed to store the sustainably generated energy for an extended period of time and to transport it, so the energy may be used wherever and whenever. The basic components of these solar fuels are carbon dioxide and water. And since those happen to be released upon combustion, it’s a closed cycle. In their search for solar fuels, DIFFER investigates both direct ways to create hydrogen

and oxygen from sunlight, and catalyst processes to store electrical energy in chemical compounds. DIFFER plans to set up a kind of solar-fuel annex for the group of University Professor René Janssen. They are now looking for a researcher to lead the group.

Anja Bieberle from Germany is employed by DIFFER, but has been working at the Institute for Complex Molecular Systems (ICMS) at TU/e for a year now. At ICMS, she works with a small-scale research setup for photo­el­ectronic experiments. She searches for materials (particularly metal oxides) that, in thin layers, might function as electrodes in fuel-producing photoelectrochemical cells. Sunlight splits water in these cells into hydrogen and oxygen. Then, the hydrogen can be combined with carbon extracted from CO2 to form liquid fuel, she explains. First, however, the first essential step must be perfected. “We have to be much more efficient. We all agree the right materials have not been discovered yet.” Bieberle has to compete with methods that generate electricity in standard solar cells first, which is then used for chemical conversions to produce fuel - a process that DIFFER is researching as well. She also stresses that electrolysis devices (that can split water) have been around for a while already. “But that requires two steps. We want to cover the entire process at once.” During her time at TU/e, Bieberle has connected with groups of various departments. Not only

“Definitive materials not found yet”

did she use the facilities at NanoLab@TU/e, but she also worked at Bert Koopmans’ group Physics of Nanostrcutures, and frequented the labs of professors René Janssen (Macromolecular and Organic Chemistry) and Emiel

Hensen (Molecular Catalysis) to create and study thin layers. She is now planning to collaborate with the mechanical engineers of Control Systems Technology to develop simulations to optimize her electro­ chemical system. A joint project within DIFFER is at hand, too. “Materials that have been exposed to the plasma from the Magnum-PSI turn out to have a nanostructure that might just be suitable for use in electrodes for electrochemical processes. We are working on the transfer of that effect to thin layers as we speak.”

On the cover, you see two artificial agents I have used for my research project. They’re digital representations of people being controlled by computers.

2 | parties My research project focuses on behavior modifi­ cation through technology. People change their behavior fastest if they are provided with information socially, so you could use an interface that looks human for that, for example. But does it matter whether or not such interfaces are observed as human (subconsciously), and to what extent? I hypothesized that if they are perceived as human, they can influence your behavior like humans influence each other.

3 | essential The artificial agents. I would have been lost without them, as I needed something that looked human. Other than that I wouldn’t name any one person in particular, but rather the overall atmosphere within HTI. It really helped me through the rough patches.

4 | society benefit In the near future technology will become more and more social. We’ll be talking to it, and faces will become increasingly common in interfaces. My research shows how people respond to that, and what factors are vital for the successful integration of this technology in our everyday lives.

Sparks functioning as chemical factory 1 | cover The lightning flash is an impression of a discharge in a dielectic barrier discharge device. It’s an artificial plasma source developed by Werner von Siemens (founder of) to produce ozone at an industrial level.

2 | parties If you put together two metal sheets but leave a small opening between them, and then charge them with dozens of times the voltage coming from an outlet, you’ll create one giant spark between the sheets. If you were to cover the sheets with a non-conductive material (the dielectic barrier), instead of a single giant spark, you’ll get hundreds of little ones, scattered across the surface. I’m researching those tiny sparks, as they can be used as miniature chemical factories.

3 | essential Without a doubt, that’s Rein Rumphorst. He’s a retired electrician. He has realized many of my plans by constructing very sensitive measuring equipment.

4 | society benefit Plasmas like my tiny sparks can drive chemical processes very efficiently. For example, the sparks can be used to sterilize drinking water eco-friendly using ozone, but they can also break down carbon dioxide in the atmosphere or extract ‘green’ hydrogen from natural gas.

Identifying algae 1 | cover The cover shows water and algae. Specifically, the algae pictures are based off actual microscope images of the species I used in this project, and the water background is from a photo of a typical lake where this technology could be applied.

2 | parties I’m building a tiny device that can count, identify, and sort the species of algae in water. Normally this is done manually, so my goal was to provide a tool that can make this process cheaper and faster by automating the measurements and analysis. The “heart” of the device itself is a small glass chip that has tiny channels and waveguides machined into it with a specialized laser.

3 | essential Having access to a lot of fabrication tools has been very valuable. Our group does a lot of experimental work, and being able to create our own devices quickly from scratch is vital for rapidly testing and improving our ideas.

4 | society benefit Algae may not be something we think about often in daily life, but they produce the majority of the oxygen we breathe so they’re very important! Monitoring algae is useful for understanding the complex processes happening in our environment, for ensuring the safety of recreational water, and for identifying dangerous and expensive algae blooms as they grow.

Music with roots to TU/e: a home away from home for about thirteen thousands of employees and students. The international community is a relatively small one, with infinite connections between its members, be they professional or private. In ‘Linked’, two community members talk about their mutual relationship and their connection to the university.

Whereas she grew up with the instrument, he is a novice. She has been here for many years, he for only a few months. Now the two members of Angklung Eindhoven are teaming up to organize their annual concert. For Desiree Abdurrachim (31), a researcher at Biomedical Engineering, and Anto Daryanto (24), a Master student of Electrical Engineering, the angklung means more than just music. It also symbolizes the Indonesian culture. “When you’re abroad, the feeling that you’re Indonesian sort of grows on you.” Its warm tinkling sound is reminiscent of a bamboo wind chime or a marimba. It’s an exotic note in the chilly market hall of MetaForum. Here both members of Angklung Eindhoven are trying to explain the beauty of their instrument by demonstrating it. The angklung is one of the cultural icons of Indonesia, together with the kris, batik and wayang puppet theatre, but probably

the least known. “For me it’s a soothing and peaceful sound. It reminds me of nature and faraway places”, says co-founder Desiree. “But it’s also very rich. It can be flowing, but also really loud”, fellow group member Anto adds. Desiree: “People are always amazed by all the things you can do with such a small piece of wood.”

Desiree is from Bandung in West Java, the birthplace of the angklung. “Where I come from the angklung is part of education. That starts even in kindergarten, where children learn to play the instrument by means of dots with colors.” In high school she joined an angklung group that even toured Europe for a few weeks. In 2010, when Desiree had already been living in Eindhoven for some years, one of her old team-mates also moved to the city. It was not long before Angklung Eindhoven was born. Unlike Desiree, Anto, who is from Solo (Surakarta) in Central Java, didn’t grow up with the angklung. Until a few months ago he had never even played the instrument. In primary school he learned to play that other typical Indonesian instrument, the gamelan. It was only in high school that he learned about the angklung. “I saw it on television sometimes, where hundreds or thousands of people were playing the instrument at the same time.” Prior to his departure for Eindhoven, while searching the Internet for information, he ended up on Angklung’s Facebook page. A video of the group playing music from the Lord of the Rings films made a huge impression. “Although I didn’t have any experience, from that moment on I was determined to join this group.” He didn’t break his promise. Last September he joined the ensemble, which has seen a lot of changes since its foundation five years ago. Back in the earliest days it was a pioneering effort, Desiree remembers. Only two of the eighteen group

members could play and they had to borrow their instruments from the Indonesian consulate in Brussels. Nowadays the group has four conductors and almost thirty members, mainly TU/e and Fontys students. Moreover, they have about 150 angklungs stored in the Bunker, imported from Indonesia or donated by group members.

“Playing together has a magical effect” Playing the angklung is relatively simple. To produce a tone you just have to shake it. Each instrument represents one tone and each group member plays his own tone or tones. While beginner Anto sticks with the C, Desiree plays six different notes. “But it gets complicated when you want to play a melody”, Desiree explains. It takes several players to play a composition. The ensemble forms a delicate balance. Anto: “When you make a mistake you’re likely to affect your neighbor.” Desiree: “You really need to stick to what you have in mind.” Then again, if everything goes well, playing together has a magical effect. Which is not only the case for their own performances. For instance, twenty thousand people played together in Bandung at the end of April. Anto: “I was like: ‘Wow I want to be there!’” They are not the only angklung group in the Netherlands. Indeed, just a few miles farther in Nuenen there is another angklung society. Desiree: “That group consists mainly of older people who were born or grew up in Indonesia. They play especially because they miss their country so much.” Still, for the younger generation, too, the angklung is more than just music. “Meeting up with fellow Indonesians and speaking Indonesian is also some kind of cure for my homesickness”, Anto admits.

cure homesickness Desiree adds: “In Indonesia I never thought about promoting Indonesian culture. But when you’re abroad the feeling that you’re Indonesian sort of grows on you. And you want to show it.” Those feelings were even stronger when Desiree came to Eindhoven nine years ago. At the time there were only four Indonesian students at TU/e. Professors expected her to correspond in Dutch. “The university didn’t do a lot to promote itself abroad at the time. When I told my friends I was going to do my Master here, their reaction was: ‘Eindhoven? Never heard of it.’” Anto does not recognize this. As far as he is concerned, the international nature of the university community could even be emphasized a bit less occasionally. “Although I would like to learn Dutch, I hardly get the opportunity to do so because most of my fellow students come from China and India.”

“My friends in Indonesia don’t believe I’m playing an instrument” She may not like to hear this, but by now Desiree is one of the oldest members of Angklung Eindhoven. Anto admits that at first he was looking up to her. “I was present when she defended her thesis. She’s so multi-talented and smart. But lately we’ve been working together a lot to organize our annual concert and I’ve realized she’s just a normal person”, he laughs. Desiree, on the other hand, admires Anto’s endless enthusiasm and drive. Maybe it’s because of this that the newbie has been asked to coordinate Angklung’s annual concert

in the Muziekgebouw. Anto: “My friends in Indonesia don’t believe it. They know me as a guy who doesn’t do musical things and now I’m not only playing an instrument but also organizing a concert.” During their annual concert Angklung will be assisted among others by a Chinese music group, a string ensemble and members of Quadrivium. In addition to Indonesian music they will play classical pieces and pop music. Which makes for a change from the initial years. Desiree: “In the beginning we were more idealistic. Our main goal was to promote the instrument and Indonesian culture. Slowly we started to combine traditional music with western music to appeal to a wider community.” She thinks that the original goal

- making the angklung more widely known among the general public has been reached, yet the survival of the group is something she worries about. “Most Indonesian people only stay in Eindhoven for a few years. After finishing their studies or PhD they move back. I’m happy about how it has all worked out. But our next homework is to ensure it stays this way.”

‘Folk Songs of the World’ will take place in the Muziekgebouw Eindhoven on Saturday May 30. On June 6 Angklung Eindhoven will perform during the Muziek op de Dommel festival.

More angklung The angklung came into existence on West Java many centuries ago. Originally the instrument, which consists of two to four bamboo tubes attached to a bamboo frame, was mainly used during rituals. Since the development in the 1930s of an angklung based on the diatonic scale, the instrument has also been used to play western music. In 2010 UNESCO recognized the angklung as world heritage.
