In a series of 2 papers published in Advanced Materials and Advanced Functional Materials, Yanxi Zhang, Eveline van Doremaele and a range of collaborators both inside TU/e and out, have demonstrated a novel NDI-based polymer with outstanding properties. We investigated the role of ethylene glycol side chains to optimise its Read more…
Yoeri has been promoted to Associate Professor at the department of Mechanical Engineering from December 1st 2021. With this new role he hopes to further strengthen his research within the department as well as leading a multidisciplinary research group as a more independent principle investigator (P.I.). Of course this promotion Read more…
Yoeri was selected as a co-chair, together with Patty Stabile at Electrical Engineering, of the Focus Area Neuromorphic Computing of the newly established Hendrik Casimir Institute.
In this public lecture (in Dutch), Yoeri is explaining the basis of the research in our group where we use materials to develop devices that mimic some properties of the synapses in the brain, to ultimately make smart chips, sensors and circuits.
In the Futures magazine of the FD “het Financieel Dagblad”, a report on the status of neuromorphic computing was published which included an interview with Yoeri. Find the interview (in Dutch) here: https://fd.nl/futures/1368069/de-machine-wordt-menselijker
Yoeri was selected to serve on the inaugural editorial board for the new IOP journal Neuromorphic Computing and Engineering (NCE): iopscience.org/nce Neuromorphic Computing and Engineering is a multidisciplinary, open access journal publishing cutting edge research on the design, development and application of artificial neural networks and systems from both a Read more…
Yoeri was selected as one of this years’ engineering talents by the magazine “De Ingenieur”. Find the article (in Dutch) here: https://www.deingenieur.nl/artikel/materialen-voor-trainbare-krachtige-chips
This work describes a novel device that connect living cells with organic neuromorphic materials. We were able to demonstrate a memory effect based on the neurotransmitter dopamine released by cells. The research was done in collaboration with IIT Italy (group of Francesca Santoro) and Stanford University (group of Alberto Salleo). Read more…
Scott Keene and Tom van der Pol showed that adding amine-based de-dopants to PEDOT:PSS devices transforms them into enhancement-mode transistors. This work, which was performed in collaboration with Alberto Salleo at Stanford University and Rene Janssen at the department of Chemistry, was published in Advanced Materials. Additionally, Advanced Science News Read more…
Yoeri’s paper “Lowering the threshold for bioelectronics” was published in Nature Materials. The News and View article highlights the work by Dion Khodagholy and collegues at Columbia University who have developed a high-speed, high-gain enhancement-mode ion-gated transistor that shows promise for low-power chronically implanted bioelectronic systems.
