Software engineering is often seen as a purely technical discipline, but emotions play a role in this field as well. PhD candidate Nathan Cassee researched how expressions of negative emotions influence the choices made by software developers. Last month, he defended his dissertation (with honors) at the Department of Mathematics & Computer Science. https://bit.ly/48TCLQb

Type the words ‘fatbike’ and ‘news’ into a search bar and you’ll get results containing words like ‘anger’, ‘worry’, and ‘immoral’. How should the Netherlands deal with this matter?

On Sunday, November 17, an ‘unconventional organ concert’ – as initiator Gerrit Kroesen calls it – will take place at the Auditorium. A complex piece of music by Joseph Jongen will be performed on the organ there. The unconventionality of the concert lies in the limited reverberation and visibility of the key effects. https://bit.ly/3Asa3cF

The Dutch House of Representatives has paid quite a bit of attention to it lately: the green ambitions of several municipalities, including Eindhoven.

Six babies in two years, that’s the new-born count at the Physical Chemistry group. And there’s another one on the way. While most PhD candidates still get slightly stressed about whether they’ll finish their research in the allocated three or four years, the people featured here have felt free enough to fulfill their wish of having children. Why is that? And what can the university do to support more PhD candidates and postdocs who would like to have children? https://bit.ly/4fFQoop

Yesterday during lunch, you could listen to artist Lucky Fonz III, in the "Blauwe Zaal". Some already knew a few hits, others had never heard of him, but afterwards everyone seemed positive: "fun", "sweet" and "a little bit weird". https://www.cursor.tue.nl/en/news/2024/februari/week-4/during-lunch-to-lucky-fonz-iii/

Hide and seek with Stefano Keizers
Hide and seek with Stefano Keizers

With his first performance as the new Artist in Residence at TU Eindhoven, Stefano Keizers (in collaboration with Studium Generale Eindhoven) immediately set the - slightly absurd - tone: about a hundred students were asked to hide themselves in the Auditorium on Monday night, and Keizers was “it”. https://www.cursor.tue.nl/en/news/2023/september/week-2/hide-and-seek-with-stefano-keizers/

Ever spotted the organ in Auditorium? Sunday, March 12, may be marked in your agenda if you want to know what it sounds like. https://www.cursor.tue.nl/en/news/2023/maart/week-1/this-is-pre-eminently-an-organ-for-engineering-students/

Did you participate in the coffee taste test last week? Here's the results!

You can see it with your own eyes: an artwork is taking shape in Neuron. More prosaically, what you’ll actually see is a structure suspended from the ceiling and, below that, a scaffold occupied by artists and a couple of TU/e’s own people. Here, they are weaving wonderfully patterned strips of paper and ribbon into a three-dimensional object. With its glass walls, the space here may feel an aquarium, but this is where “the beating heart of Neuron” is being built.
