Semicon and quantum

Cor Rops graduated his studies Applied Physics in 1998 cum laude at the research group Fluid Mechanics at the TuDelft and started working for TNO early 1999. In 2004 he started in close collaboration with the TuDelft his PhD project on two phase flow and boiling at small structures, which he successfully finished in 2009. From this research he developed a method to realise stable flow boiling within microfluidic devices. After introduction in the high-tech industry, this method is now successfully applied in chip cooling for antenna arrays and power electronics for test equipment for electrical vehicles. Currently, other application areas are explored as well such as the data centre market and fuel cell industry.

"From sea mines to semiconductors, only TNO can do that!" Jacqueline van Veldhoven is a researcher in the nano-instrumentation department at TNO. She originally came to TNO to work on combating sea mines, but now has work that is closer to her PhD research: to find out how lithographic machines in the semiconductor industry can continue to produce cleanly.

Niek Doelman's research has a focus on novel technologies in modeling, control, sensing and correction of Optical Wavefields in Free Space.

‘Done with learning after university? Certainly not at TNO!’ Nora Fahrenfort is a system engineer at the Quantum Technology department of TNO. She helps make quantum technology usable for daily applications of the future. At TNO, she is contributing to improve society – which is precisely why she feels at home here.‘’

Exploring the value of applied quantum technologies. This is what Peter Elias – van den Berg does within TNO in the function of senior project manager and portfolio manager quantum computing applications. He works, together with stakeholders, to setup and conduct effective projects to explore how quantum technology will impact the society of tomorrow and how to fully utilize this technology.
