Over 25,000 registrations for online lecture Data Science
TU/e wins international award for partner program
11 November 2014 - TU/e’s second free online course (Massive Open Online Course, MOOC) on data science has already more than 25,000 participants from 169 countries. It started on Wednesday 12 November, and gives participants the chance to learn valuable analysis techniques to get knowledge out of big data. For example the resulting understanding can help to reduce healthcare costs, fight fraud and better match information systems to customers’ needs.

10 November 2014 - The program TU/e offers to partners of international staff who also traveled to the Netherlands has won the Expatriate and Mobility management Award (EMMA) in London last Friday. The Get in Touch Program won in the category Best Family Support Program. The full name of the TU/e program is Get in Touch with People and Places in Eindhoven, and its objective is to help partners of international staff to build a new social network here, and get to know the city. Participants visit cultural institutions, unique stores and the city library, learn about Eindhoven events and celebrations like GLOW, Halloween, Sinterklaas, and carnaval, and get the chance to join workshops. Partners can share their experiences through an online blog and a Facebook group.

5 November 2014 - The iGEM team of TU/e has come in first in the category New Application at the Giant Jamboree in Boston. The students fitted enteric bacterium E. coli with a protein jacket, so the bacterium can survive, and so put itself to good use, in chemical reactors or the human body. With their contribution ‘Click Coli’, the Eindhoven team met the requirements for a gold medal, as did forty percent of all teams, including every single Dutch group. Moreover, they were better than their 24 competitors within the New Application category. The jury were especially impressed with the chemical technique used by the students. All judges also thoroughly enjoyed the children’s book ‘Barry, the Not-so-bad Bacterium’, created by team member Minke Nijenhuis.

Six degrees of separations (or maybe more)
Let me tell you a story about a (disastrous) experiment on acquaintances, short chains and travelling postcards. We left each other, a couple of weeks ago, with the promise to demonstrate the six degrees of separation theory in our beloved-and-hated Eindhoven’s small-world. Curious about numbers and statistics? Among sixty postcards spread all around the campus, only two found their way back home. Summarizing, I have two friends in Eindhoven and they don’t know each other. I am wondering, what did I do in the 104 weekends of these two years in Eindhoven? Since we should always look on the brightside of life, as mum and Eric Idle use to say, I proudly declare that I got both the postcards back in one step only, and I didn’t pay the participants for that. So, here they are, my private heroes, Inge and Antonio. Inge, the office neighbour, the Stakhanovist every Research group has. Thanks Inge for collecting the postcard. And, by the way, thanks also for being the first coming to work and the last leaving. But remember, there is one place where I still arrive earlier than you and I stay longer: the Canteen. You may have won the battle, but not the war (yet). Antonio, the emotionally-close-compatriot, the phD candidate at the last year, the one seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and the postcard at the end of the Auditorium. Antonio said: “Honestly, a friend of mine tried to explain me a bit more about this theory, but I forgot the details. Coffee?”. Thanks Antonio for your support, I’ll never forget it! Even if our results give new insights into the small world theory,
limitations should be acknowledged and discussed (how to say nothing with scientific elegance, chapter number 1). Some of these limitations became apparent during the first stages of the research process, while nicely talking to my Gemini’s colleagues between one pesto-salami sandwich and one smoked salmon with roasted potatoes. This is how it went, more or less: A: “Wait a minute, I saw your face, yesterday, somewhere....” Me: “You must have seen either the article on the Cursor or the postcard ....” A: “No no. I was at De Bierprofessor with friends, any chance we met there?” A: “Hey! You definitely have a familiar face...” Me: “Really? That’s because I am doing this amazing research...” A: “Research? With that face?” A: “Hey! I read your article on Cursor and I also saw one postcard! What’s the prize if I participate?” Me: “Nothing” A: “Plans for the weekend?” Dear Stanley Milgram, luckily for your experiment you went for individuals from Midwest, U.S, and you succeeded. And luckily I went for the North Brabant’s ones, and I failed. Otherwise, at this time, you would share celebrity (and the Wikipedia’s page) with someone else: me.

And how are things in Trondheim? 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.
Norway, the country where you don’t have to lock your bike, where you buy your goods at a kjøpesenter, where rotten fish is served as a delicacy, where a beer costs you 10 euros and where Silje Norendal boosted winter sports. But most of all, it’s the country where you’re always just a stone’s throw away from scenic landscapes. It didn’t take me long to decide that my internship destination should be Norway. First of all, its oil industry provides good opportunities for a mechanical engineering student, and secondly, I had to see out for myself what it’s like to live in the world’s number one country to live. The company I work for is Statoil, Norway’s national petroleum company, and I work at the research center in Rotvoll for the offshore heavy oil solutions department. My project is very challenging and it’s a great opportunity for me to get behind the scenes of one of the leading companies in Norway. I try to enjoy nature as much as possible in my spare time. The best way to do that here is to go on a cabin trip. After several hours of hiking through no man’s land you will end up at a small wooden cabin, where you might see the northern lights while making a bonfire and drinking øl. Unfortunately, time flies when you’re having fun, and the big countdown has already begun. However, I’m not haven’t had enough of either the Norwegians or Norway’s beautiful nature yet, so I will probably be back here for another stay. Ha det bra from Trondheim!

Life after TU/e
Name: Natalia Lebedeva Place of birth: Novosibirsk, Russia Date of Birth: 3 August, 1973 Attended TU/e from: June 1998-June 2002, for PhD research in physica l chemistry at Schuit Institute of Catalysis, Laboratory of Inorganic Chemistry and Catalysis. Current position: Research Fellow (Senior Scientist) for the European Commission at the Institute for Energy and Transport in Petten. Why did you choose to go to TU/e? There was a unique opportunity to conduct fundamental research on reaction mechanisms of electrocatalytic reactions on single crystals in the newly formed group of dr. Marc Koper (currently prof.dr. Marc Koper, Leiden University). By that time I already had some experience in electrocatalysis and immediately understood that the proposed approach was just right - a strong combination of experimental work on well-defined surfaces and theoretical analysis and modeling. What are you doing now and is this what you intended to do? My task as a Research Fellow is to provide scientific evidence-based support to the European as well as global policy making and standardization in the field of electrochemical power sources for automotive applications. I always wanted to stay in research, but never actively explored the regulatory aspect of it. I now apprecia te its importance for the everyday lives of millions of people; it is a great responsibility and a very rewarding position.
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.
Why did you stay in The Netherlands, and are you planning to move to another country? I have lived in the Netherlands for the past 16 years. The reason for staying in the Netherlands after my PhD was twofold: I have met my husband here, who is from Brazil and also did his PhD at the TU/e, and we decided to settle down between Russia and Brazil, which seemed fair. Second, we both have a career in the Netherla nds and are happy here. Spring next year my contract with the European Commission will end, and I will have to look for a new job. We are not planning to move to another country, since it is usually difficult to accommodate two professional careers at the same geograp hical location. Moreover, our children are very happy at the European school in Bergen and although their English, Portuguese and Russian is great, their main language is Dutch. So I would have to be creative looking for a new job. What advice would you give current students? From my own experience I can say that if you follow your heart and intuition , if you do what you truly like and do it well, everything is going to be alright. It may be different from what you want at that moment, but in time you’ll realize why things turned out the way they did. To contact me, please email to lebedeva.natalia@gmail.com, I would be delighted to hear from you!

‘Home is where TU/e: a home away from home for tens of 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.
One was born in Brazil and has now lived in the Netherlands for four years. The other one is a Dutchman who lived in Brazil for five years. Brazilian José Leonardo Ferreira (39) and Dutchman Herwart Gärtner (36) got to know each other in 2012 and this contact soon developed into a close friendship. ‘Zé’ and ‘Her’ regularly seek each other out at Electrical Engineering, where they talk about life’s joys and sorrows and virtually everything else.
José Leonardo is softly strumming his guitar. His warm voice sounds almost like a whisper in the Audi torium, when he is crooning about feijoda (a typical Brazilian dish), or sings the classic The Girl from Ipanema partly in Portuguese and partly in English. Herwart is mostly humming, and occasionally sings along when he knows some of the lyrics. José Leonardo had spontaneously brought his guitar to the interview, for ‘friendship and music always go together’, according to the enthusiastic Brazilian. The two friends first met in 2012 - not in Brazil, but at the Student Sports Center on campus. Herwart had then just completed his Bachelor’s program of Innovation Sciences and was beginning on his Master’s degree at Electrical Engineering, where José Leonardo had started a PhD period in 2010. While cycling at the cardio fitness they got talking to each other.
Herwart Gärtner
Herwart immediately addressed José Leonardo about the abadá he was wearing, a Brazilian carnival shirt. They immediately felt a click -later on in the interview the Brazilian insists on the word ‘click’ being included in the article- and within less than thirty minutes Herwart had proposed to the Brazilian to go and play volleyball some time. Many meetings ensued, often while going in for sports and sometimes during dinners with other people joining them. “At such nights Zé is a good chef as well as an entertainer”, says the Dutch student. Herwart usually calls his friend ‘Zé’ and sometimes ‘Brasileiro’ as well. And ‘Zé’ in turn mostly calls his mate ‘Her’. José Leonardo really enjoys cooking, but does make sure of adapting his meals to the Dutch taste. “In fact feijoada should be made with ingredients including meat offal of pigs, such as the ears. I don’t do that then. Another Brazilian female cook once prepared it like that, and the Dutch guests didn’t like it one bit”, he says, laughing. Although sporting together is now on the backburner, the two friends often pop in at each other for a chat. Which is nearly always in Portuguese. “That way hardly anybody can understand us”, Herwart grins. The question what subjects are discussed then takes a while to be answered. For actually their chats can be about anything: about Brazil, about Electrical Engineering, about the weather, about food, about love or politics. The question why they are friends and how they would describe each other is also one that is more

the heart is’ difficult to answer. Herwart: “Well, why do you regard someone as a good friend? We are on the same wavelength, which is what counts for me. Sometimes you may like people and still be at another frequency. It’s all about trust.” Totally recognizable for his Brazilian friend, who comes up straight away with the metaphor of the ‘Law of Resonance’: “It means that bodies begin to vibrate when they have the same frequency.”
“Her is an international; he adapts easily” While the love of Brazil is not what binds them by definition, -that is more a matter of character, and thus has to do with that click- it is a favorite topic of discussion. Herwart lived in Rio de Janeiro from 2004 to 2009, after having met and married a Brazilian woman. He had little trouble adapting to the Latin American country. “I quickly feel at home somewhere, so I have little trouble settling in at new places.” José Leonardo reacts to that: “Her is an international, he adapts easily.” Remarkably enough Herwart only made ‘real’ friends in Brazil after his marriage had stranded. “Brazilians are very open and social. Still, really becoming friends with them is harder. Upon the first acquaintance you often make new appointments soon, but after that it is in no way certain that the appointment will materialize. Sometimes something else has
come up on the day itself and you will not be told about that at all. Only when I got divorced did I find out which contacts were better.” José Leonardo laughs. “The Brazilian approach is in fact slightly different from the Dutch one. With us, a friend’s friends are also automatically your friends. You easily establish contact.”
Good adaption: too early for the interview José Leonardo was born in Diamantina - a city of which he talks with pride: when it acquired the privileges of a town, that diamonds were found there and that its historical center has now been granted Unesco world heritage status. In 2010 he traveled to the Netherlands to study for a doctorate. It took and occasionally still takes some getting used to: to the weather, to the food, to the tight planning of the Dutch. By now he has adapted quite well. “I had deliberately come too early for this interview”, he jokes. “And make sure you write down that I love the Netherlands!” The Brazilian has almost completed his doctoral period and will afterwards probably go back to his native country, but is quite open to going back to the Netherlands again.
José Leonardo Ferreira
Whereas he had accustomed himself to life in Brazil in no time, Herwart did have trouble getting used to the Netherlands, where he had to start building up a new life once more. He still regularly looks up his friends in Brazil and has recently bought a pressure cooker for the brown beans, like the one Brazilians use. And his havaianas, which he always wears - come rain or shine - are like a second skin. Meanwhile he has struck up an interest in Spain and there is a good chance he will emigrate there next year. “I’m following my heart again”, he smiles. “What’s that song called again?”, he asks his Brazilian friend. They consult in Portuguese, after which Herwart says: “Um Amor Puro, by Djavan. It has a phrase that goes: As long as I am with you, there will be blue skies.” To which José Leonardo adds: “Yes. Home is where the heart is.” Interview | Judith van Gaal Photo | Bart van Overbeeke

Text | Monique van de Ven Photos | Bart van Overbeeke ‘City in Motion’ is the theme of the ninth edition of GLOW in Eindhoven this week. It’s happening in the city center as well as at Strijp-S, backdrop for the more experimental GLOW NEXT. Both locations feature several installations by TU/e. Last year, GLOW attracted 520,000 visitors.
Lux Agitat Molem | Lux Agitat Molem is the name of a light installation that designer Philip Ross and the Intelligent Lighting Institute are using for a public experiment during GLOW NEXT. The name was inspired by the TU/e motto ‘Mens agitat molem’: the human mind puts matter in motion. The researchers involved are interested in the influence of light on human behavior, and want visitors to experience that influence during GLOW NEXT. A total of 56 light fixtures dynamically lights a 54-meter path along Leidingstraat at Strijp-S. Designer Ross (who received his PhD from Industrial Design in 2008): “We can narrow or widen the path visually, or create absurd light patterns, to test whether or not we can influence people’s walking patterns a little”. A camera is set up halfway down the path, and registers the visitors’ movements. Using specific software, these images are linked to music, making it seem like the unsuspecting pedestrians are moving to the melody.
TU/e helps Eindhoven glow
(Dis)appearance | ‘Create an installation for GLOW NEXT that
says something about light.’ This broadly-worded instruction was assigned to students of the Light Force honor’s track. Three of them developed lighting installation (Dis)appearance, a light installation in the Area 51 skate bowl at Strijp-S. The wooden bowl measures approximately 20 by 20 meters and is three meters deep. Both size and shape give rise to extra challenges. Heidi Sairanen (Built Environment): “We’re dealing with a three-dimensional surface. It’s easier to project a light show on a table or another two-dimensional surface, but this is definitely more interesting.” The three students wanted to light the skate bowl in such a way it seems to be transforming, and so play with viewers’ perception of depth. The result is a three-minute sequence of animations that’s projected onto the wooden skate construction with three projectors.

Rigid Motion | Causing confusion.
That’s basically what the five TU/e students who developed ‘Rigid Motion’, a light installation for GLOW NEXT, go for. Over the past year, architects and designers have been toying with key concepts movement and perception, all in light of their honor’s track Light Force. How do eyes and the brain work together? And what makes their interaction fail every now and then? The latter question has been the main inspiration for the installation. Rigid Motion wants to visualize that movement is composed from fragments, and how our brain, with the help of light, can be tricked. The students developed “a kind of starry sky of white dots” measuring ten by four meters, which will be displayed in the Yksi exhibition space at Strijp-S. The white dots are continually moving, but it’s initially unclear how exactly. The students are reluctant to reveal too much about the technique behind Rigid Motion. “It should remain a mystery, that’s what makes the installation powerful.”
The Innocent Body | The Innocent Body is a collaborative art
project of TU/e, Van Abbe Museum, and artist Ronald Schimmel, which can be previewed during GLOW. Schimmel’s works of art, in which afterimages play an important part, are the point of departure. Associate professor Kees van Overveld (Industrial Engineering & Innovation Sciences): “His works are refined to the extent you don’t notice something strange is happening to you. The name, The Innocent Body, refers to that: you’re defenseless against the painting hanging in front of you.” The joint project of Van Abbe and TU/e toys with that idea. The Innocent Body takes up two areas. The first is brightly lit and has a colossal semicircular wall with a mural by Schimmel: black disks that he’s well-known for subtly surrounded by painted afterimages. “That’s where you’re primed, as it were, made susceptible to a certain type of observations without any technological mediation.” Of course, you’ll find the technology in the second area, as that’s the TU/e area. In the darkened room, visitors watch computer animations of similar circles and afterimages. Van Overveld: “But the computer also calculates and shows illusory afterimages that are almost impossible to discern from those your own visual cortex, your own brain, produces.” To that end, a motion-detection camera is used to register where vistors are in the room. The Innocent Body opens late December, but there’s a preview during GLOW; a computer animation will be projected on the sloping side wall of the museum.
GLOW Music | Presenting classical music to the greater public in different, more
accessible ways: that’s the objective of Eindhoven student music group Quadrivium for its fiftieth anniversary this year. And they’ve decided their theme is Light. “Is there anything more fitting than GLOW?”, says Elvira Koolen of Quadrivium’s GLOW Committee. For their GLOW Music project, Quadrivium decided to team up with Boxtel light artist and spatial designer Jaap van den Elzen. The result of their joint effort is a light installation that responds to music by the four Quadrivium musical ensembles. The first two nights of the light event -Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 November- were graced with live performances by the musical ensembles in Schellensfabriek at Vestdijk. The orchestras took turns sitting below a large LED panel that shone down, responding to the music that’s played at that very moment. The other six nights of the event, GLOW Music works with Wave Field Synthesis. To that end, 192 speakers are positioned so that they form a square. “Wave Field Synthesis can guide sound in a way it seems the orchestra is actually playing live”, according to Koolen. During these nights the area is filled with smoke.
GLOW can be visited up until and including 15 November. Check www.gloweindhoven.nl for more information.

1 | cover My cover shows a schematic of server racks and a rainbow connecting them. It is a representation of the main concept of my thesis output: a novel 3D stacking approach based on using a thick photoresist to form ‘bridges’ between the surface of the optoelectrical chips and the CMOS IC (‘standard electrical chips’, ed.). The metallic traces between the optoelectrical chips and the CMOS ICs are defined by lithography and are formed by electrical plating, eliminating the need for wire-bonding or flip-chip, which requires specially designed CMOS ICs.
2 | parties Interactive and real-time multimedia services, such as YouTube and Facebook, are growing fast. To deal with the exponential growth of data, we need more and bigger data centers with a large bandwidth and high-speed connectivity. Electrical interconnects are struggling to meet those require ments. Optical interconnects are promising because of their high bandwidth density with low power consumption and low latency. Technology based on VCSEL (vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers, ed.) emitting at 850 nanometers seems the best option for low-cost optical interconnections in data center applications. My thesis aims at developing a cost-effective integration method that can be used for the manufacturing of low-cost and low-power optical transceiver modules supporting a high bandwidth density.

Light particles from artificial atoms 1 | cover The cover of my thesis shows a three-dimensional artistic rendering of an ultrafast photonic crystal cavity diode, over-imposed with the measured spectra of the ultrafast modulation of the exciton energy in a single quantum dot embedded in the device, and coupled to the cavity field on demand.
2 | parties I was able to fabricate photonic micro-resonators integrated with fast diodes where the interaction between an artificial atom and a single photon in the cavity can be controlled by an electric field at ultrafast speed, shaping the photons that can be used in quantum photonic networks for quantum applications like quantum memories, computing, and cryptography.
3 | essential The fabrication of the devices has been possible thanks to the facilities of the NanoLab@ TU/e, and the electro-optical quantum experiments have been realized by means of the advanced cryogenic setups of the Photonics and Semiconductor Nanophysics group at TU/e.
4 | society benefit In the future, the transition from classical to quantum cryptography and computing can be realized by controlling the light-matter interaction at the single-photon level in integrated scalable nano-devices. Such quantum phenomena on chip will provide intrinsically safe cryptographic schemes, ultrafast long-range connections and exponentially more powerful computers, leading to more secure and faster internet communications and to ultrafast computers that can support an unprecedented evolution of our technologies in biology, genetics, physics and engineerin

Life-saving baby simulator 1 | cover I chose a sketch of a baby being examined. Why a sketch and not a photograph, you ask? Well, both sketches and simulators don’t aim for maximum realism, but for a level that’s sufficient for mimicking reality.
2 | parties That’s a no-brainer. Everyone knows babies and can imagine the necessity of medical procedures. It’s important to train medical students, and to make sure existing medical staff takes refresher courses. The baby simulator is a supporting tool for those trainings. Through research and design we’ve wanted to realize better simulators that indirectly improve the skills of medical staff.
3 | essential The design is a perfect example of what we do at Industrial Design at TU/e. You bring together techniques and expertise, from people-oriented to purely technical, and from that you make a usable design. Those results can be reached by implementing the techniques separately. And since there’s no one person who incorporates all these skills, many hands are needed to reach a good result. Equipment-wise, we’ve used computers and 3D printers, but soldering irons and screwdrivers just as well. Probably not what people expect when you say you’re making a baby…
4 | society benefit This simulator is the start to developing improved baby simulators. By keeping the skills of medical staff up-to-date, fewer babies will die. This will impact the baby - obviously - the family involved, and the medical staff.
