At the last day of the Lustrum we want to connect our members and our benefactors with a fun teambuilding activity! We will go to The Battle Room in Eindhoven, which is an escaperoom where multiple groups have to be the quickest to escape from their room, with some fun twists to bully the team(s) in the other room(s).
The price of this activity depends on how much people subscribe, it will be maximum €20-25.

Afterwards we will grab a drink in The Walhalla, so you are more than welcome to join us there!

ODIN & CWTe PhD Lunch Lecture
2025-03-25 12:40 - 13:20 | 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 Tuesday the 25th of March, Michiel Wopereis (PHI) and Astrid Barreiro Berrio (SPS) will present their PhD projects during an ODIN lunch lecture!
The project of Michiel: LiDAR sensing systems are pivotal in applications such as self-driving cars, metrology, and optical communications. The performance of these systems depends highly on the precision and accuracy of beam steering in free space. Traditional mechanical LiDAR systems utilize moving parts to steer the beam, often reducing robustness, speed, and accuracy. Our project aims to steer the beam in free space solely using the interference of light. This is known as an Optical Phased Array (OPA).
The project of Astrid: Modern communication depends on high-speed, reliable networks, and optical fiber technology forms the backbone of this system. Whether connecting cities, linking wireless base stations, or enabling long-distance communication, optical fibers ensure the rapid and efficient transfer of information. To keep up with growing digital demands, scientists are continuously working to optimize fiber-optic networks. Her PhD research tackled key challenges in fiber modeling, introducing innovative approaches to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the first-order regular perturbation approximation (FRP) model. Her work enhances fiber-optic modeling, making it more practical and scalable for future communication networks.
The lunch lecture will take place on March 25th at 12:40 to 13:20, the location is Colloquium 6 in Flux
If you subscribe, we will provide lunch for you!

Interest List Excursion Royal Netherlands Navy
2025-05-01 08:00 - 17:00
Mimir organizes an excursion to the Royal Netherlands Navy, and we can offer some spots on this excursion to our ODIN members! However, due to this being a government institution and matters of national defence, we cannot accept students without a Dutch passport. The tour will also be in Dutch, therefore the remainder of the information will be provided in Dutch.
Op Donderdag 1 Mei is er een excursie naar de koninklijk Nederlandse marine in Den Helder. We zullen die ochtend vertrekken met een bus vanuit Eindhoven. Na een lange busrit zullen we op het terrein van de marine rondgeleid worden op een van de schepen. Het multipurposefregat (M-fregat) is inzetbaar voor oppervlakteoorlogsvoering en onderzeebootbestrijding. Het heeft tevens ook zijn eigen luchtverdediging aan boord.
Er wordt in de middag lunch aangeboden. Na de lunch wordt er waarschijnlijk een praatje gehouden door de mijnenjagers. Details volgen.
Ben je geïnteresseerd in deze excursie? Schrijf je dan vooral in op deze interesselijst en afhankelijk van hoeveel plekken wij vrij kunnen maken voor ODIN leden, hanteren wij een “wie het eerst komt, die het eerst maalt” principe.
De lijst sluit op dinsdag 8 april, als je voor die tijd bericht hebt gekregen over gegevens die nodig zijn voor de excursie, is je plek gegarandeerd.

Photonics Information Session
2025-09-18 12:30 - 13:30 | Gemini 3a.12
Are you interested in the photonics industry? Then we have something for you! Photonics uses photons instead of electrons to transfer information. This can be used to create more energy-efficient, faster, and more accurate microchips.
During this lunch lecture (free lunch provided) you will learn more about the possibilities for work and study in the field of photonics. Andre Fiore will give a short introduction and will talk about the new MasterPlus Optics&Photonics program. Furthermore, former students that work in the field of photonics will give some talks about their experiences. Representatives from the PhotonDelta ecosystem will also give pitches. The PhotonDelta ecosystem consists of more than 60 partners that together form the whole chain from the design to the application of photonic chips.

ODIN & CWTe PhD Lunch Lecture
2026-03-20 12:30 - 13:30 | 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 20th of March, Kevin van Hastenberg (EM) and Gökhan Yılmaz (SPS) will present their PhD projects during an ODIN lunch lecture!
To enable future smart mobility systems communication and sensing systems need to be more tightly integrated. In his research Kevin focuses on combining antenna arrays for communication and sensing to create a single system operating at 77GHz and 130GHz. Besides system level research, new manufacturing technologies like LTCC (low-temperature co-fired ceramics) and 3D metal-printing are investigated for various aspects of this project.
Gökhan works on joint communication and sensing, a technology that is expected to play an important role in next-generation wireless systems and autonomous vehicles. The goal is to design wireless systems that can both transmit data and sense the surrounding environment. In particular, these signals can be used to estimate parameters such as the distance, speed, or direction of objects while maintaining high communication performance. His research focuses on understanding the fundamental limits of such systems and designing efficient signaling methods that enable both tasks simultaneously.
The lunch lecture will take place on Friday, March 20th, 12h30-13h30, in Colloquium 6
If you subscribe, we will provide lunch for you!
