[LUSTRUM] Members drink
2025-03-10 16:30 - 19:00 (Europe/Paris) | Het Walhalla, Flux 6.154 - De Groene Loper 19,, Eindhoven, 5612AP, Netherlands
Come have a drink with us in Het Walhalla to celebrate the start of the Lustrum week and connect with your peers from the Connected World field. ODIN will provide snacks, and we will also invite the capacity groups in the Connected World field to this drink. This will be your chance to get to know your peers and the staff from the department and network! You can of course also join just to have fun.

[LUSTRUM] ODDDDDDDDDDIN
2025-03-10 12:30 - 13:30 (Europe/Paris) | Master Association Hub
Join the start of the ODIN Lustrum with a fun twist on the ODDDDDDDDDDIN, one of the most traditional activities of Odin. Come enjoy a piece of the longest durum ever made in Flux, completely free of charge! The lunch will be held in the break at the Master Association Hub on floor 6.
NOTE: we will be making a very basic döner, there will be some toppings that you have put on it yourself, if you have any allergies or are vegetarian we will take that into account, but meat preferences not. It will still be very tasty!

[LUSTRUM] Hunting Hertz - delayed
2025-03-10 - 2025-03-14 | Brabant
! This event is delayed, so stay tuned for a new date !
Have you ever wondered how to get on the same level as ODIN? This is your chance! This whole lustrum week, you can be hunting Hertz’s in your mission to find the one and only communication source. Finding this communication source the quickest and most often (max 1x per day), while using your own receiver, will result in a promising price. However, fear not if building receivers is not your call in life, we will make sure you get a handleable receiver for which you only need to design an antenna. But if you like the challenge and want to increase your chances in finding this communication source first, you can request an additional budget up to €10,- to pimp up your receiver (with components of course)! So make sure to form a group (2-5 persons) with your fellow hunters and sign up for this activity (only one sign up per group needed, from the team captain).

Internship and Graduation project Market

They provide information about possible projects and what to look for in your search. This will also help you broaden your network within the department to make it easier to find the best suitable projects. Additionally, we will provide you with information on the basic things to keep in mind when going on an internship (abroad)!

All this will be combined into a internship and graduation project market in Flux. If you subscribe before the 15th of February, we will even be able to provide you with some delicious free lunch!

ODIN & CWTe PhD Lunch Lecture
2025-01-10 12:40 - 13:20 (Europe/Paris) | Colloquium 6, Flux 6.154 - De Groene Loper 19,, Eindhoven, 5612AZ
Do you want to learn more about what research is being done at the TU/e?
On Friday the 10th of January, Kyle van Oosterhout will present his PhD project during an ODIN lunch lecture!
A quick summary of what his research is about:
Conventional Silicon chips are the standard for electronics because very small transistors can be made in them, so that billions of transistors can fit on a single chip. A major disadvantage of this technology is that it is rigid and small. In applications where signals must be read from the body (such as EEG in epilepsy or EMG in muscular diseases), it is important to read many signals over a long distance. Flexible electronics can cheaply amplify and compress these signals over a large area and conform to the body. His research is on circuit design in this unconventional technology.
The lunch lecture will take place on January 10 at 12:40 to 13:20, the location is Colloquium 6 in Flux
If you subscribe before Wednesday 15:30, we will provide lunch for you!

On Monday the 21st of October, Jordi Zandboer and Sudha Malik will present their PhD projects during an ODIN lunch lecture!
Jordi Zandboer specializes in Sub-THz antenna-in-package and antenna-on-chip design for short range, high-datarate wireless communication chips.
Sudha Malik’s research focuses on advancing 5G mm-Wave technology to balance high data throughput with reduced RF-EMF exposure. Through beamforming techniques, she is developing methods to minimize exposure for non-users while ensuring optimal connectivity for users. This work is part of the ETAIN project, where they study real-world exposure levels and propose strategies for efficient wireless networks.
