PhD, 1st March 2023 Elif Kurt obtained her masters degree in chemical engineering from Middle East Technical University, Turkiye. During this period, she studied liquid crystal microcapillary-based optical sensors. She is currently interested in combining the non-linear mechanics of the mechanical metamaterials with stimuli-responsive liquid crystal materials for developing new actuation strategies and design structures
PhD, 9th January 2023 Tom Bruining is a chemical engineer with a master’s degree in molecular systems and materials chemistry from the Eindhoven University of Technology. He is interested in creating liquid crystal based stimuli responsive surfaces that can change their texture to provide haptic feedback. These surfaces have applications in virtual reality and augmented
PhD Vincent van der Doef Is a PhD student at ECO and HIM. He studied Molecular Life science at Wageningen University and he now works on Programmable lenses for optical wireless communications assisted by liquid crystal elastomers which will be used in the Beam-steered Reconfigurable Optical-wireless System for Energy-efficient communication project. I also used to

TU/e Guest Researcher, 01-09-2020 Yuxin You is a materials researcher with a master’s degree in optical engineering. She is interested in developing smart coatings made of liquid crystal polymers that can generate predesigned topographies at the coating surfaces reversibly. These dynamic surfaces are anticipated to benefit many functions in the fields of optics, haptics, robotics,
The work of the researchers at the HIM group fascinates people far and wide, yet only a few get the pleasure of seeing and even feeling our technologies up close! Thus, when the HIM group was invited to present its demonstrators at the MaterialenNL conference, HIM PhD candidate Mert Astam went prepared to amaze. The
