The future of radar is distributed and inspired by biology

The future of radar is distributed and inspired by biology

NWO has funded an ambitious new line of research led by Francesco Fioranelli – Associate Professor in the Microwave Sensing, Signals and Systems (MS3) group – focusing on the development of distributed radar systems. This technology is poised to redefine the limits of conventional radar by offering much improved flexibility and adaptability. The approach centers on transitioning away from singular and static radar installations towards spatially distributed network of radar nodes. These distributed radar systems could be capable of interpreting complex human movements and vital signs, as well as identifying and classifying dense clusters or swarms of drones.

Two EEMCS researchers nominated for Best Climate Action & Energy Paper

Two EEMCS researchers nominated for Best Climate Action & Energy Paper

Increasingly extreme weather conditions and a steadily rising sea level are unmistakable signs of the deepening climate crisis. Climate action and an accelerated energy transition can make a difference, with a crucial role for technology and engineering – and thereby for the thousands of students, PhDs, and postdocs of TU Delft. A total of nine TU Delft researchers are in the running for the Best Climate and Energy Paper of 2023, including two from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS). Two winners will be announced on Tuesday, 19 March.

Global telecommunications with lasers

Global telecommunications with lasers

Lasers communicating from the earth with satellites in the atmosphere: it sounds far-fetched, but it could be a valuable improvement towards connecting remote parts of the world to the internet. TU Delft has raised funding through the Open Technology Programme from the NWO's Applied and Technical Sciences domain to further explore the potential of this innovation.

Symposium on von Neumann: perhaps the greatest mathematician in modern history

Symposium on von Neumann: perhaps the greatest mathematician in modern history

John von Neumann (1903-1957) was a Hungarian-American mathematician who made essential contributions not only in mathematics but also in physics, computer science and economics. In many ways he shaped the future we live in. The Embassy of Hungary in the Netherlands, in cooperation with Júlia Komjathy of the EEMCS faculty, organised a symposium commemorating the remarkable legacy of one of the greatest - but relatively unknown - mathematicians in modern history.
