Starting 1 May, Cokky Hilhorst will be the new Dean of the Faculty of Technology, Policy, and Management. This was announced by the Executive Board in an email to all TU Delft staff on Tuesday. She will succeed Deputy Dean Sabine Roeser, who had been appointed as of 1 December 2024. Prior to Roeser, Aukje Hassoldt has led the faculty for four years.
Hassoldt left TU Delft to become Dean at Erasmus University Rotterdam. Before Hassoldt’s appointment, the Faculty was led by four interim deans.
