Following those, on May 3rd, three Delft scientists paid a visit to the Spyker F1 site in Silverstone. Concrete projects should start taking shape in the coming months. Michiel Mol, director of the Spyker Formula One Team, approached TU Delft with the idea to work together on the development of the orange racing car. The first meetings with Edwin de Vries (vehicle mechatronics) and Prof. Adriaan Beukers (materials) proved promising enough to start planning the visit to Silverstone. PhD student Gandert van Raemdonck (aerodynamics) was the third Delft representative in England. In Silverstone they talked with James Key, technical director of the Spyker Formula One Team.
D.School

With effect from the 2007-2008 academic year, the Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management will start a new project called ‘D.School’. This is a collaborative venture with the IDE and EEMCS faculties. With this project, TU Delft aims to raise awareness of a multidisciplinary approach to design. The idea behind D.School is for students from different Master’s degree programs, each with their own approach, to collaborate on a company assignment. An assignment can, for example, consist of constructing a prototype, an accompanying business model and a marketing strategy.
Indesem 2007

What will Rotterdam look like in 2067? What sort of city will the new generation of architects leave behind? These are the questions to be answered by 80 international architecture students at Indesem 2007, the TU Delft Faculty of Architecture biennial workshop. The students’ ideas will be displayed on five billboards located around Rotterdam during the International Architecture Biennial Rotterdam (IABR) from 23 May to 23 June.
IEEE conference

Researchers from TU Delft’s DIMES (the Delft Institute of Microelectronics and Submicron-technology) won three awards at the prestigious 2007 International Solid State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) in San Francisco. The ISSCC is the most important integrated circuit design conference in the world. Michiel Pertijs, Kofi Makinwa and Johan Huijsing received the ‘Journal of Solid State Circuits best paper award’ for a paper on the design of the world’s most accurate on-chip temperature sensor, with a resolution better than 0.1C between -55C and 125C. The winning paper competed against almost 300 others in the same year of publication. Kofi Makinwa and Martijn Snoeij received the ‘ISSCC Jan van Vessem award for an outstanding European paper’ for their work on a new type of on-chip temperature sensor based on a thermal delay line. The ‘ISSCC Beatrice Winner award for editorial excellence’ went to KaChun Kwok, John Long and Jack Pekarik for their paper ‘A 23-to-29GHz differentially tuned varactorless VCO in 0.13mm CMOS’. The oscillator’s exceptional frequency agility and compact design are aimed at integrated radar and radio imaging applications.
Young Delft

Young Delft Young Delft, a network for all young TU Delft staff, held its first meeting in April. 70 attendees enjoyed an interesting programme, and expressed their ideas on what young people want and can achieve. The result was an ‘idea basket’ of some 89 new ideas and initiatives. If you want to be part of Young Delft’s expansion: the next meeting is on 14 June. To participate in the next meeting send an email to jongdelft@tudelft.

Spyker

There are plenty of research areas in which the Spyker Formula One Team and TU Delft can cooperate. Vehicle mechatronics, aerodynamics and materials were the subjects of the first exploratory meetings in Delft. Following those, on May 3rd, three Delft scientists paid a visit to the Spyker F1 site in Silverstone. Concrete projects should start taking shape in the coming months.
