Science fair fun
We had a demo at the annual EXPEDITIE NEXT, in Zwolle this time. We’ll be back next year with more fluidized beds, hourglasses, kinetic sand, Janssen effects and maybe more!
The gravity of the situation
Visiting Olfa D’Angelo doing hypergravity research on granular materials at ESA / ESTEC in Noordwijk. The museum visit was the cherry on the cake.
Physics & Astronomy Practicum 2 observations
The BSc program “Natuurkunde & Sterrenkunde” (Physics & Astronomy) at VU/UvA has a course called “NSP2” in the Fall. Students in this course, and the teachers, do various observations and sometimes stumble over unexpected things. Old glycerine is one, but funny droplet dynamics in thin film flows are another. Heavy liquids included as well. AndContinue reading “Physics & Astronomy Practicum 2 observations”
Getting ready for the Physics & Astronomy Practicum 2
The BSc program “Natuurkunde & Sterrenkunde” (Physics & Astronomy) at VU/UvA has a course called “NSP2” in the Fall. In this course, students perform various experiments (they choose which to do) among which studying the flow behavior of liquids with Laser Doppler Anemometry (shown). It’s so much fun to perform alignment of the setup andContinue reading “Getting ready for the Physics & Astronomy Practicum 2”
Hosting CALIPER students and supervisors
The research network CALIPER is coming to an end, but the team is already gearing up to make new collaborations. We had a good time with a lab visit and return to the place where also the CALIPER kick-off was organized, at H401.
Course “Project” for 1st year BSc students
The BSc program “Natuurkunde & Sterrenkunde” (Physics & Astronomy) at VU/UvA has a course called “Project” in the last month of the year (June). In this course, students are embedded (as teams) in the various Physics & Astronomy research groups in the Amsterdam area and do a small research project there. They present their workContinue reading “Course “Project” for 1st year BSc students”
eScienceCenter Fellow
Joshua is now 23-24 Fellow at the Netherlands eScience Center. He will collaborate with Luisa Orozco and Stefan Radl to improve a MOOC that brings DEM education to more people.
Physics@Veldhoven
The annual Dutch physics conference wasonce again in-person, with among other great talks from Zohreh and Akankshya! The party on Tuesday was fun!
Bo Fan visits Wageningen University
For his secondment in the CALIPER project.
