In 2021 gaat het MinacNed team door met organiseren van de iMNC-pre-events, na een succesvolle start in 2020. We hebben uw input nodig om ons te helpen bij het organiseren van evenementen waaraan u wilt deelnemen. Elke maand organiseren we een online bijeenkomst voor MinacNed-leden om met elkaar te discussiëren over een specifiek onderwerp van interesse. In een online sessie van 1,5 uur kunnen we gastsprekers uitnodigen en plekken voor bedrijfspresentaties aanbieden aan MinacNed-leden.
We hebben uw input nodig
De pre-event bijeenkomsten worden georganiseerd voor MinacNed-leden. Om elkaar te leren kennen, nieuwe contacten te zoeken en van elkaar te leren. Heeft u een idee voor een thema tijdens een event? Of wilt u een keer meedoen aan de bedrijfspitch? Stuur een e-mail naar Aurélie Veltema via a.veltema@minacned.nl.
Er is geen limiet aan het aantal collega’s dat u van uw bedrijf of organisatie meeneemt, alle MinacNed-leden worden uitgenodigd om lid te worden. We sturen de uitnodigingen via direct mail of u kunt zich registreren via de MinacNed-website. Houd de evenementpagina in de gaten voor updates.
Live-evenementen na Corona
Zodra de Corona-crisis voorbij is en we live-evenementen kunnen organiseren, zullen we deze maandelijkse bijeenkomsten op een live-locatie voortzetten. De events worden dan uitgebreid met een netwerkborrel en ook hier bieden wij u de mogelijkheid om andere MinacNed-leden te ontmoeten. We zien u graag online en tijdens onze live-evenementen ter plaatse.
Honing says the pandemic has had it’s impact on the industry in general: “The development of new techniques and technology continues, even in this corona crisis. In some cases, even the R&D focus for some companies has changed. We all know the development of rapid corona tests for example. There are about five or more of these tests, and as a chemical analyst I would love to see the real performance of all these test over the next year period, and understand why some of these tests result in false negatives or false positives.”
Rob van Schaijk joined Philips Innovation Services in 2017, in the MEMS & Micro Devices department as principal architect. His main responsibility is MEMS process development in the Philips MEMS foundry with a focus on CMUT technology. With 20 years of experience in semiconductors, MEMS and IC technology in different positions, from senior scientist to R&D manager. Before joining Philips Innovation Services, he has been with Philips Research, Philips Semiconductors, NXP semiconductors and Imec on topics in the area of silicon processing, energy harvesting and sensors for use in wireless sensor nodes. He obtained a master degree in applied physics from the technical university of Eindhoven in 1995 and a PhD from the University of Amsterdam in 1999 in semiconductor physics.
Our research focuses on creating new microchip technologies and designer meta-materials which can manipulate light & sound at the nanoscale. This allows us to create circuits which route photons & phonons in the same way conventional circuitry routes electrons. By sending laser light into nano-photonic circuits, we can interact with micro-sized mechanical oscillators, allowing us to measure vibrations on the femto-meter scale (10-15 m) – a size normally reserved to describe the radius of protons. We are expanding these unique capabilities to create quantum-limited sensors which can detect accelerations, temperatures, and forces on integrated microchips and can be readily translated into emerging nanotechnology industries. These light-based sensors are now laying the groundwork towards new types of microphones, accelerometers, and inertial navigation systems which can out-perform many conventional MEMS platforms in terms of sensitivity, energy consumption, and immunity to environmental noise and jamming. The aim is to create nano-mechanical sensors so sensitive and easy-to-use that we can study fundamental physics in new ways and push forward commercial applications.
Aaike has an MSc in Chemical Engineering from TU Delft. “There is plenty of room at the bottom.” – a 1959 quote by famous physicist Richard Feynman in a talk titled ‘A staggeringly small world’ are the words that inspired our CEO, Aaike in his career pursuit. After graduation he went on to become a Co-Founder of VSPARTICLE. As CEO, he spends his time on both the R&D and the commercial sides of the business. He is passionate about nanotech’s potential to improve life on Earth and this passion it what fuels the leadership of VSPARTICLE. VSPARTICLE has unleashed the full power of nanotechnology and quantum properties by making the production of nanoparticles as easy as pushing a button. The future will build from the bottom up and there is a whole world of possibilities down there. We provide you with the right tools to explore new materials properties and accelerate your research. Simplicity is our super power, innovation can be yours.
