How well can we model turbulence and mixing in ocean fronts? Ocean surface-layer fronts are hotspots of energy turnover, mixing, and water mass transformation in the ocean, and their reliable representation in numerical ocean models is an essential requirement. However, turbulence models used to represent the effects of (unresolved) small-scale instabilities and turbulence in numerical […]

DL – Advanced photonic materials for sustainability
In this talk I will provide a comprehensive overview of our research on developing novel materials for photonics while combining experimental and computational tools. First, I will discuss our progress towards discovering new optical emitters for thermophotovoltaics that operate >1,500 oC. Second, I will share how we established a field termed ‘transient photonics’, where we developed […]
Photonics research across borders: opportunities and challenges of globalization
The unavoidable globalization of our society is currently also echoed in research. In this talk, I will provide my perspective of working in four countries (three continents) while performing research in both academia and national laboratories and collaborating with industries. I will present suggestions on how to (i) quickly adjust to different working cultures, (ii) […]
