Hello, my name is Fatima Fneish, and I am from Lebanon. I joined the Computational Optics Group at TU/e in the beginning of July 2026 as a PhD candidate. I arrived in Eindhoven while my family, like many others, was living through the consequences of a very harsh war on Lebanon and grieving [Read more]
TU/e researchers Shuxia Tao and Björn Baumeier have received NWO funding to tackle a long-standing mystery in quantum materials science, using advanced computer simulations and machine learning. Read more on TU/e news.
The Leiden Declaration calls for action to address the challenges posed by the use of artificial intelligence within mathematics research. Jim Portegies convened the international group of authors. Read more on TU/e news or CURSOR.
Hi everyone, my name is Axel Linders. I completed both my Bachelor's and Master's here in Eindhoven and from the end of March 2026 I started as a PhD student in Illumination Optics. I will be working on periodic surfaces from solutions of the hyperbolic Monge-Ampère equation. In my free time I like [Read more]
Hi everyone! My name is Fangna Xiang. I am from Zhejiang University, China. I joined CASA as a visiting PhD student on March 15th 2026. I will be staying here for one year, working under the supervision of Professor Arris Tijsseling. I earned a Bachelor degree in Process Equipment and Control Engineering from [Read more]
TU/e has been awarded €1.5 million in the Horizon Europe project SimuLingua, a €6 million international initiative, to develop a next-generation AI platform for materials discovery. As the largest academic partner in the consortium, TU/e receives 25 percent of the total budget and will recruit five postdoctoral researchers in Eindhoven. The project ranked second out [Read more]
Benjamin Sanderse (associate professor in CASA and group leader at CWI in Amsterdam) has been awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant. This personal grant of 2 million euros will be used to tackle a problem that defeats even supercomputers: reliably predicting turbulent flows. Existing turbulence models are typically derived from physics, based on simple assumptions [Read more]
Hi everyone! I’m Jop Hendrikx. I studied Applied Physics (BSc and MSc) at TU/e, where I specialized in computational plasma modeling and learned to enjoy the combination of physics, mathematics, and numerics needed to turn complex phenomena into reliable simulations. On 1 December 2025, I started in my new role in illumination optics, bringing that [Read more]
Twelve projects have been approved. CASA is involved in three of them: AI4optics – Martijn Anthonissen is the project leader here. Wilbert IJzerman, Lisa Kusch, Koondi Mitra, and Jan ten Thije Boonkkamp are co-applicants. Digital Dikes – project leader is Vanessa Magnanimo (University of Twente). Michiel Hochstenbach, Karen Veroy-Grepl, Kerstin Lux-Gottschalk, and Jemima Tabeart [Read more]
Hello everyone, my name is Geert-Jan Rutten. As of June 2025, I joined CASA as a Professor of Computational Neurosurgery. I have a background in physics and medicine, and I have been working as a neurosurgeon at ETZ Tilburg since 2007, with a clinical focus on neuro-oncology—particularly awake brain surgery—and deep brain stimulation.
