COMRAD: optimal magnetic switching for greenest random access devices
The COMRAD projects focuses on developing and fabricating a cold optomagnetic memory device for greener data centres and super-computers. COMRAD aims to demonstrate how to decrease the dissipated heat in data storage at least by a factor of 10.

MAX-FRESH
The MAX-FRESH project is developing the ISS-Monitor, a sensor to detect spoilage in fresh produce, potentially reducing waste by 50%, extending storage life, and generating €110M post-2023.
-
MARIX
The ERC synergy project MARIX studies marine redox transitions to understand how they remove toxic ammonium and methane. It combines fieldwork, lab experiments and modelling to explore new microbial pathways and their environmental impact.

Towards smart soil-sensing: developing a proxy for soil health
Rosa Boone is studying how the restoration of soil diversity contributes to the condition of soil. To do this, she's developing a new measuring method that farmers can use to track the health of the soil beneath their feet.
-
EBI: Engineering Business Intelligence
A novel generation of Industry 4.0 algorithms offers an opportunity for considerable evidence-based value creation in Dutch Process Industry, allowing a more comprehensive and real-time view on process performance.
-
PhD position – Risk Based Investment & Operation
In this PhD project the focus is on uncertainty quantification in grid calculations.
-
PhD project “Uncertainty quantification of models for temperature of power cables”
For underground power cables, the maximum current is determined by the cable temperature. The current method of determining this maximum is overly conservative.
-
Alliander cases at mathematical PhD modelling camp
In the PhD Modelling camp, PhD students and Postdocs from various backgrounds work for a week on problems posed by industry.
-
Graph Neural Networks – PhD
PhD project on redirecting power in situation concerning maintenance and outage of the energy grid. Research is done by using graph neural networks.
-
Neuromorphic Scientific Computing: Towards New Hardware
This project will quantify the actual and potential energy reduction of scientific computing with current and near-commercial neuromorphic hardware and benchmark the potential of new neuromorphic hardware platforms for scientific computing.
-
Future Dikes
The Future Dikes project investigates how we can strengthen the Dutch dikes with a species-rich grass covering.
-
ProMiSe
In the multidisciplinary ProMiSe project, researchers intend to make a blueprint for how the integration of neurobiological and clinical knowledge can lead to improvement of care for patients with rare genetic syndromes.

What is the influence of cable temperature on the possible load of the electricity network?
What is the influence of temperature (think of heat pumps and airconditioning) on the possible load on the electricity network?
-
CorneaRegID
Current treatments for cornea damage depend on stem cells in the patient's own healthy eye. This project will develop a novel regenerative technology to convert patient's skin and mouth cells into cornea stem cells to restore vision.
-
BlackGEM telescope array
When neutron stars and black holes collide, gravitational waves are released and a hot luminous ring of gas is created. BlackGEM is a series of telescopes that helps researchers to more accurately determine where a collision has occurred.
-
Living Lab Ooijpolder
In recent years, scientists have experimented with innovative forms of biodiversity restoration in the Ooijpolder in Gelderland. The Living Lab looks at how the existing pilot schemes and initiatives have improved biodiversity in this region.

Prioritisation and Risk Evaluation of Medicines in the EnviRonment (PREMIER)
Pharmaceutical residue can cause environmental damage. Much of the medicines that we use are released into the sewer via excretion. That is why a European research consortium is developing a system that analyses the environmental risks of medicines.
