Significant share of TU/e staff in report on shale gas
Getting acquainted with the university professors’ work Monday 16 September 2013 - The four university professors appointed early in 2013 will be presenting lectures in the next few months. In this way they allow the TU/e community to get acquainted with their scientific work. The ‘Aan de Dommel’ series of lectures is organized by the Institute for Complex Molecular Systems. Prof.dr.ir. Wil Van der Aalst has presented the first lecture Monday. Monday 16 September. October 4, 2013, 15:00 hours, Zwarte Doos Filmzaal, by prof. René Janssen November 21, 2013, 10:30 hours, Ceres building 0.31, by prof. Maarten Steinbuch December 19, 2013, 11:30 hours, Zwarte Doos Filmzaal, by prof. Anthonie Meijers
Monday 9 September 2013 - Three TU/e staff members and one TU/e alumnus joined forces with staff members from the Rathenau Institute in the report on shale gas that was presented recently. There was wide coverage of their conclusion that the debate around shale gas needs to be given a broader basis. Dr. Annick de Vries from the Rathenau Institute, who has also participated in the research, will be one of the speakers on the TU/e Energy Day on September 19, which will be entirely devoted to shale gas. From 13.15 - 17.00 h in the Zwarte Doos.

Getting lost in a stranger city - first impressions
I saw more bicycles on my first day in the Netherlands than I would typically see in a month in my country. This came as quite a shock, because here I was, newly-arrived in a country that had over ten times the GDP per capita compared to home and the number of cars on the roads was negligible in comparison. It took a while to swallow the cultural shock of coming from a place where cars equate with opulence and affluence, the general mantra being bigger is better. Of course, in the following days, bikes weren’t the only thing I would see in excess: weather changes more frequent than a bipolar person’s mood and all meals are based off bread: bread for breakfast, lunch, supper and dinner. But I digress. So far, it has been a love-at-first-sight kind of affair. Seriously! (Notwithstanding the bread, the unpredictable weather and the people all driving on the ‘wrong’ side of the road.) Everyone has been really nice and helpful
so far! Well, almost all of them, except for the taxi driver who scammed me - 14 euros for a 2 km ride the day I arrived here - and reminded me of, well… taxi drivers everywhere, in the process. Another thing that took a little getting used to was the city closing earlier than a six-year-old’s bedtime back home. But slowly, I have come to appreciate the peace and calm of after-work hours. Overall the TIP has been a great experience s well, especially for someone returning to school after a four-year hiatus: it has eased me back into the academic culture and routine. Experienced people tell me that, like most other kinds of madness (and passionate love affairs), this (love affair with the city) too shall pass. Thinly-veiled sinister references to weather are floating in the air. We will see. But for now, here’s to the next adventure.

Digital education for the Interviews | Frits van Otterdijk Illustration | David Ernst TU/e is currently building its own digital university so as to keep up with the momentum of nations. “Education is seeing rapid developments worldwide. Social networks and online facilities are so excellent that we need to rethink what we as a university are doing”, says prof. dr. Arjeh Cohen. He leads the think tank that is mapping out a strategy for the use of video lectures, web lectures and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). On October 1 he will present the preliminary draft. Teachers and students alike can join in the discussion of the plans that day.
“Take Adrijana. A top model from Split, Croatia. Obtains her Bachelor’s degree in mathematics in Zagreb, temporarily works in Sweden for a photo shoot. There, in Scandinavia, she attends a summer course in Formal Languages. At home she follows the MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses) of EPFL about the programing language Scala. In her leisure time she has also written a high-profile application that can be found onsourceforge.org. After that she intends to do a Master study of Computer Science at TU/e. Six months at most in Eindhoven and six months online. That will be easier to combine with her busy job.” Arjeh Cohen sketches the student of the future. Those students are not fixed in one place, get an interesting piece of the pie in various places and follow their own route. “Digital education will maintain our attractiveness for those potential students. Otherwise we might lose them”, he fears. People change and TU/e should not simply follow suit, says Cohen, but be proactive. Not joining the digital development of education stopped being a feasible option long ago, according to the professor from the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. He is leading the ‘ICT for Education’ task force which has been ordered by the Executive Board to develop a digital strategy for TU/e. It should be a vision that fits in with the university’s general philosophy on education, summarized in STUVI (see box). The ICT task force has drawn up four
subjects of discussion. The first one is ‘blended learning’ and encompasses the (digital) changes required for students from the Bachelor College and the Graduate School. The second subject is about the external target groups that TU/e wants to reach. The third one is ‘open educational resources’ and deals with the question how much teaching material the university should provide digitally and without a threshold. The fourth subject is about the infrastructure that is needed to realize all this. A certain measure of speed is called for, since developments in the area of digital education are moving like lightning.
Web lectures are much faster than formal lectures While the vision of the task force still needs to mature, blended learning (a mixture of online and traditional education, ed.) has been administered a shot of adrenaline. The video lecture, a kind of Broadcast Missed for students, is joined by the ‘web lecture’. Instead of an integral registration of a formal lecture, here the teacher is facing the camera and telling his story, which is visually supported by means of slides. The web lectures are shorter, more interactive films, specifically tailored to the Internet.
A digital tête-à-tête between teacher and student. For this purpose a recording studio has been built on the third floor of the MetaForum and two assistant students are acting as mixers. In April twenty-five lecturers attended a two-day presentation course and they are now producing their own online education. The first web lecture went online in July. Lecturer Marko Boon made eleven films of ten minutes maximum about calculus. In English and intended for potential students of TU/e who wish to prepare for their Marko Boon presenting a weblecture.

studies voluntarily. Boon: “A web lecture is much faster than a formal lecture. You don’t give students time to let the subject matter sink in. That requires them to push the pause or replay button themselves.” Each film is recorded in no more than two takes. Without Autocue. This calls for sound preparation and concentration on the part of the lecturers. “The slides must have been elaborated down to the last detail. The story that goes with the slides needs to be fully mastered inside your head. You cannot afford any slips, or the film won’t run smoothly. Once you’ve crossed the
threshold, recordings do tend to proceed faster, though”, says Boon. The Education and Student Service Center sent an email inviting everyone who registered for a TU/e pre-Master program. More than one hundred and eighty students, mostly from abroad, reacted positively and began on the course. They followed Boon’s video lessons, did assignments and discussed the right formulae and answers on a web forum. “What you hope for is that a fellow student starts to answer questions. That did not always happen, however, occasionally they gave the wrong answer. Still, the

students of the future communication via mail and the forum did run smoothly”, Boon adds. After seven weeks forty participants made it. Now a survey among the students has to make it clear whether Boon has achieved the targets he set for the web lecture. “I hope to learn from that how I can engender more commitment from participants that drop out”, explains the teacher. In drafting the questionnaire he is assisted by Hanneke Duisterwinkel, an educationalist from EduSupport (STU), which is closely involved in the setup of innovative online education. “Teachers themselves determine the contents of the film, to whom it is accessible and how interactive the course is”, she explains. “They do need to be aware of a number of things, though. Is the film aligned with the learning objective? Has it been integrated with your education? Be aware that presenting something on camera is different from presenting a lecture. Watch your facial expression, your body language. Think how you will look. And consider how you are going to use slides. You cannot point at anything on the spot, so you might use a colored text, for example, to indicate how far you have progressed with your story.” After six months she is quite pleased with the results. In this short period a Modeling course has also been finished, apart from calculus. And a Design course for Master students has been completed. Duisterwinkel: “We sometimes need to keep the studio open at night and in the weekend to serve everybody. And the next batch of fifteen teachers will start in October.” The web lectures that TU/e offers are intended especially internally for TU/e students. Meanwhile Cohen and his task force are tackling the question how they can also reach people from outside TU/e with online education. “If we want to attain our target figures for growth in 2020, we simply cannot do without online education. You will also have to lure students via the Internet. We have often fiercely guarded our teaching material as one of our greatest treasures, but it threatens to pale before everything available on the Internet nowadays”, the professor asserts.
Peer learning is becoming more and more important Higher education is no longer the exclusive realm of colleges of higher professional education or universities. More and more often teaching material can be found online and the dominant role of teachers is waning. Cohen about this unbundling:
“You now see the emergence of big study groups whereby peer learning is becoming more important. Students meet to discuss the subject material. Even the learning of skills for which you need to go to the lab is now being done virtually via the Internet. It is all much more direct and more individual. Digital education makes it possible for other sections of the population to start on studies.” This is why four potential external target groups of TU/e have been examined within the task force: the generally interested ‘world citizen’, the professional, the aspiring new student and the student at a distance. The conclusion is clear. Cohen: “We should not put any extra energy into attracting world citizens. There are too many other parties already catering to that segment. The student opting for distance learning is not yet among our targets either. It makes more sense to build that up step by step. First we experiment with students of our own to see how it works. Besides, TU/e regards it as essential for a small university to retain the direct contact between students and inspiring teachers. A kind of ‘master-apprentice’ relation. That way we educate our engineers best in presentation, teamwork and contact skills.” According to the task force aspiring new students are interesting. They can be allured with so-called MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses). TU/e wants to do this with moderation and focuses on niches in which Eindhoven features among the top institutions worldwide. The first MOOC will be online within a few months. It was made by prof.dr.ir. Bert Blocken (Architecture, Building and Planning) and is entitled ‘Sports and building aerodynamics’. It is intended to be a spectacular eye catcher. Easily accessible alright, but one that will make potential students feel that Eindhoven is the place to be. The ‘professional’ is another attractive online target group for TU/e. Many enterprises send their employees back to school to keep up their professional knowledge. Employers are prepared to pay for this. TU/e sees opportunities to get its share in this cycle of lifelong learning’. On October 7 TU/e and enterprises in the Brainport region will talk about the possibilities. Except for this last-mentioned target group, online teaching material does not imply big money for TU/e. Why that ambition, then? Cohen: “You do it for the name, the fame. For the transparency and accountability. As I have understood it, this could become one of the new guidelines of the government, that as a university you have a kind of idealistic and moral duty to society.” In that respect Delft University of Technology has got quite a lead.
This academic year Delft will present four MOOCs, including Water Management (21,000 registrations) and Solar Energy (42,000 registrations). By offering Open Education, Delft hopes that it can raise the level of its own campus education. Apart from that elevated thought, Cohen also points at a more lucrative application of online studying. “Georgia Tech in the United States has recently started to offer a Massive Online Course, which is accessible only to paying participants. Anyone wishing to study Computer Science online must pay seven thousand dollar. Those who do so on site at Georgia Tech have to pay four to eight times as much. It shows that you will get all kinds of variants of MOOCs that may be quite interesting as an earning model.”
Modern lectures call for a new OASE generation To turn online education into a success, a good infrastructure is needed. The ICT task force thinks that, in addition to obvious hardware requirements for the campus, three elements are needed for a solid foundation. Cohen: “Support through a more extensive version of EduSupport. Also, we need a new generation of OASE (Online Active Study Environment). Teachers feel the need to cast their lectures in modern molds and OASE is the suitable platform for that. Finally, online education calls for a good arrangement for certificates, so that we can give participants something that will be recognized elsewhere as well.” That TU/e will open an educational online website is certain. What it will look like is another subject for debate. Will teachers have one big store where goods are classified

according to their subject? Or do you have one central display window featuring the most beautiful items? All of these are ideas that have yet to take shape and will be discussed with all groups concerned over the next few weeks, Cohen explains. Whether Marko Boon is going to record new web lectures depends on the survey, he says. “If students are satisfied with linking to teaching material not recorded by TU/e, there is less reason for me to make films of my own. I myself find the quality of our productions considerably better and more dynamic than that
of certain renowned institutions like MIT and the Khan Academy.” Although the questionnaire has not been sent yet, he does have a suspicion why a number of participants in his online course dropped out. “The last two weeks coincided with the Intro at TU/e, which was visible specially in the last week. Then they are sprawling at the Cantus and naturally do not fancy doing calculus assignments at night. That is a lesson learnt for us as well”, he adds with a smile.
Educational philosophy TU/e wrapped in STUVI In its setup of online education the ICT in Education task force takes into account the educational philosophy of TU/e comprised in STUVI. A word that is an acronym for all the important aspects: School, Top, Unique Selling Point, VIP, and Infrastructure. Arjeh Cohen: “At various levels there are many talks taking place about education at TU/e. Those visions and plans are attuned to each other, with a number of key items emerging time and again.” School | the relation between student and teacher is central. A ‘master-apprentice’ contact that inspires and also elicits solidarity of the alumni with TU/e after their studies. Top | as a small university we should focus in particular on the disciplines in which TU/e excels and, in some cases, belongs to the world top. Unique Selling Point | globally TU/e is in the top 5 in terms of scientific publications produced in collaboration with the business community. The intimate relation with the industries in ‘Brainport and beyond’ is a strong selling point. VIP | give a face to scientific crackers. Show that these ‘University professors’ are approachable for students. That has a very strong appeal. Infrastructure | TU/e is known for its good sports facilities. In Campus 2020 the departmental buildings will also be given a facelift. MetaForum and the future FLUX will enhance the attractiveness of the campus and lead to an extra intake of students.

Cleaning natural gas by means of a vortex tube
1 | cover My research concerns a vortex tube: a device that converts compressed gas into two flows of different temperatures (for instance -20°C and +80°C) at lower pressure. The cover is based on a photo that was made inside the vortex tube. At the moment when the photo was made there is a mist of small droplets flowing through the tube. The light and the reflections come from laser beams that were used to measure the speed and size of the droplets. By means of a Photoshop program I added some big drops and made a small vortex visible, so that this picture shows the main features of the subject.

2 | parties I am saying that I research whether a device that is normally used as a cooling machine can be used as a gas separator. Then I explain that we use local cooling of the gas for the condensation of any polluting particles that may be present and for their subsequent separation. This way a cooler and a separator are included in one device without moving parts.

These are graphs (mathematical structures used to model relations between objects, ed.) that can be used to encode the question whether a computer system satisfies a certain property.

The rope is an analogy for the structure of a graph. 2 | parties By means of examples and analogies I focus on the applications of my research. I sometimes compare the construction of a computer system with erecting a building. The safety of the construction of a building, as designed by the architect, is verified before the construction is built. In a similar way you could verify the design of a computer system before actually building it. In my dissertation I improve the techniques with which we can verify such a blueprint.

‘I do nonparametric statistics’, is typically not a very informative statement for most people. Essentially, I work with large (infinite-dimensional) models. Models are collections of possible ways in which data can be created, and working with a large model allows us to be more flexible. In the end this means that we can produce estimates which were obtained without having to make many assumptions about the model and are therefore more realistic.

4 | society benefit A lot of the results that I obtained are for Poisson processes, which are models used by practitioners in many fields - such as for example biology, medicine, communications, astronomy and hydrology. So I guess there are potential benefits of the research I have conducted.

And how are things in Yantai? 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.
Yantai? Y-A-N-t-a-i? Never heard of it! You will not be the only one: hardly anybody knows this city. Yet six million people live here and it is one of the fastest growing cities of this country. Skyscrapers are ordered five at a time and recently a law has been adopted that prohibits the construction of buildings lower than six floors. For those of you who love apples: the well-known phone manufacturer has a factory just outside the town with 100,000 employees (you’re right, that’s about the employed population of Eindhoven). Perhaps you have already guessed it from the picture or maybe your geographical knowledge is simply phenomenal: I am in China, the country where people eat Chinese food every day. China is quite large. There are huge numbers of people living here, and all those people like expensive cars, trendy clothes and a nice piece of meat instead of dry rice. The economy is working day and night to deliver on those wishes. The factory where I work (I’m doing a chemical engineering internship) produces the necessary chemicals for all kinds of polyurethane products. For the non-chemists among us: these products range from construction foam and yellowish foam in those cheap mattresses to floor coatings. I work in the department where they make the foam for bra padding, which often gives rise to hilarity among the otherwise rather prudish Chinese. Although China is quite large, the Chinese themselves are quite small. Measuring 1.86 meters I am the tallest in many a shopping street. My height, combined with the fact that the concentration of foreigners in this district is about 50ppm (I will not even try to guess how many of them are blond too!) sometimes makes me feel like a movie star. Chinese mobiles have been taking more pictures of me than I have been taking pictures of China and believe me when I say I take a lot of photos! In this last paragraph, I want to correct a common misconception about Chinese food: the Chinese restaurants in our country have nothing to do with China! Over the past two months I have seen no ‘bami, nasi, loempia, saté nor sambal’ served in any of the restaurants here. Since they always use chopsticks, real Chinese food is usually cut into bite-size pieces of meat/fish in a sauce/soup with vegetables and rice/noodles. During summer Chinese BBQ is also very popular. The Chinese organize their parties in KTV, the karaoke bars which you can find all across town and because I think most of you already know “Ni Hao!”, I will conclude with a student saying also known as ad fundum: “Gan Bei!”.

Life after TU/e Name: Olena Filatova Place of Birth: Odessa, Ukraine Date of Birth: August 14, 1989 Studied at TU/e from: September 2010 - September 2012 Master of Science Industrial and Applied Mathematics, Computational Science and Engineering Current position: PDEng Healthcare Systems Design, Signal Processing Group, EE, TU/e Why did you choose to study at TU/e at the time? Because of the high quality of education, a very friendly environment for international students and good opportunities after graduation in a high-tech region. Not a small part of this decision was the Talented Students Program which financed the studies. Coming to study at TU/e was a totally new experience. The educational system is very different so it took me a while to understand that. For example, the ECTS system and choosing electives were things I had never faced before coming here. What happened after you graduated from TU/e? I’m still in the Netherlands and still at TU/e. Currently I am following a Professional Doctorate in Engineering (PDEng) program in Healthcare Systems Design at the Electrical Engineering Department. Originally I intended to do a PhD right after getting my Master’s degree and I did not know that such a post-Master program or PDEng existed. However, by the time I graduated I wanted to apply my math knowledge in the medical domain. Doing a PhD is still part of future plans.
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.
How did you find a job? Of course, finding a job these days is not easy. In my case the focus was more on academic jobs rather than industrial ones. It took about five to six months to find my current position, but I am very happy with the result. In my opinion, it is psychologically easier to look for a job in the Netherla nds when you are a Dutch or EU citizen because of the organizational issues such as residence permits, etc. From a professional point of view the nationality does not really matter. Dutch, Egyptian, Italian and Ukrainian mix completely fine at our offi ce. Although learning some Dutch helps. What advice would you give to the current students? In order to find a job, it is really important to understand what you are looking for. Following workshops by STU and Wervingsdagen about application skills really helps, as well as participating in job fairs. You can orient yourself on the job market and determine if you want to stay or move somewhere else. But the most important advice is: do not forget to enjoy your student years!
