RSA CE&C 2015-2021 Group descriptions

Molecular Systems and Materials Chemistry (MSMC) 83 energy and materials. All of these programs will provide PDeng, PhD and postdoc projects in the coming years. The globalization of the economy has resulted in a shift of manufacturing to East Asia, especially in the case of opto-electronics and solar energy. In response to these trends, SFDhas established an intensive collaboration with China via DIRM and the intention is to further expand on this via new initiatives such as smart windows and foils. At a national and European level, SFD intends to further utilize its expertise related to sustainability, health and green energy by participating in programs including Horizon 2020 and other large-scale funding constructs. The ARC CBBC focuses on processing technology and a cleaner and more energy efficient chemical industry via catalyst development, improved reactor design and a reduced environmental footprint (CO 2 reduction). In the ideal case, these processing issues will be combined with improved material design. For the future, the focus will be on establishing a good connection to funding schemes that require smart materials and team science involving other disciplines, including agriculture, industrial design and construction as well as larger funding schemes in the framework of societal challenge-driven themes in the Netherlands and the EU. As described previously, the SFD group has broad expertise in materials science, which incorporates the whole chain of knowledge from synthesis to application. In specific cases, additional expertise is needed and a broad range of academic collaborations have been established with complementary groups within and outside of TU/e. The research revolves around complex molecular systems, humans and technology, smart cities, health, and soft robotics, which also fit well with the research topics of the SFD group. The strong ties with industry, the Eindhoven Polymer Laboratory (EPL) and the Institute of Complex Molecular Systems (ICMS) in Eindhoven and various national and international academic research groups will also be important in the future in maintaining a high level of excellence and visibility as SFD continues to lead the introduction of innovative concepts which are brought to working prototypes.
