Automation of model-driven design processes for high-tech systems

Designing a high-tech system often revolves around automating a process. The design process itself can also be automated. Every discipline, from mechanics to control technology to software, has its own methods for this. The trick is to let them work together to arrive at an optimal design. Marc Geilen is conducting research into this at Eindhoven University of Technology.

Academia and industry mix to master complexity

Led by TNO-ESI, the Mascot program helps manage the increasing system complexity by creating an innovation funnel from academic research to applied research to industrial embedding. Participants in the four projects share their experiences. “Mascot allows companies to take on high-reward topics that they would otherwise put off for being too risky.”

(Bio)medical electromagnetics – from Hz to GHz

The distinct features and non-invasive nature of electromagnetic waves at different frequencies place them at the core of many medical applications. TUE’s Maarten Paulides gives an overview of the field.

EngD trainees help Philips on the way to greener transport

Logistics has a considerable impact on the carbon footprint of Philips. The company is enlisting the help of the EngD Software Technology program in creating dashboards to monitor the emissions of freight transport by air, land and water. The generated insights are being used on all organization levels, up to and including the executive committee.
