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.
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.
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.

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 the heart is’
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
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.”

‘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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

My cover shows a schematic of server racks and a

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.

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.

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
The method I developed can be used to produce
cost-effective transceiver modules to the growing
data centers. It also supplies a new packaging method
in other application areas, next to traditional wire
bonding and flip-chip methods.

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.
