In the very year dedicated to mobility, Bert van Wee, TPM Professor of Transport Policy, is retiring. A passionate cyclist, he plans to spend his time restoring car engines. How does he look back on his time at TU Delft?
Last Thursday, the square in front of the Industrial Design Engineering Faculty was transformed into a pump track – a hybrid between a BMX and a skate park. The demonstration setup was part of the graduation project of IDE student Jesse Pupping. One striking detail was that the final bump in the course is made from the back section of a wind turbine blade.
Mobility represents freedom and is an economic necessity, but all that travelling comes at a cost to the environment and our living environment. TU Delft researchers presented four scenarios for 2050 at the 183rd Dies Natalis. “It’s a wicked problem,” says Professor Deborah Nas.
Inventor Luci Santema is making waves with a bike light she came up with four years ago during her studies in Industrial Design Engineering. By now, tens of thousands of Ziemis have been sold. How does she do it?
In the USA and China, people are no longer surprised by cars without drivers. Europe is lagging behind, says Dariu Gavrila, Professor of Intelligent Vehicles. In the meantime, TU Delft’s Robotics Lab is steaming ahead in research into autonomous vehicles.
Lecturers, researchers, and other staff in higher education are planning to go on strike to protest the Government's budget cuts. It will be a ‘relay strike’. The idea of the relay is for a different university or university of applied sciences to strike each time. The FNV union informed its members that ‘How each institution will
A team of students from the interdisciplinary Building Serious Games master course has won the Best Student Game Award at the 13th Game and Learning Alliance (GALA) Conference in Berlin. Their game, Pizzicato, was developed by TU Delft students Martin Starkov, Scott Jochems, Luca Stoffels, Ravi Snellenberg, and Joris Rijsdijk. They collaborated with neuropsychological researcher
By combining AI and radar, Perciv AI has found a way to match the performance of advanced traffic systems at just a fraction of the cost. This breakthrough opens the door to new opportunities for autonomous vehicles, robots, and drones – a potential recognised by investors.
The PhD thesis ‘Space Internet of Things’ (Space-IoT) by Dr Sujay Narayana has attracted much attention since its defence on 1 May 2023. Narayana won the SigMobile Best Doctoral Dissertation Award with it at the global MobiCom 2024 conference in Washington DC.
