2011 Professor De Winter Scholarship at University of Twente, Netherlands

Applicants:

  • must be female
  • must be an excellent student
  • must be prepared to contact Mrs. De Winter to inform her about their study progress
  • must have completed the online application through the graduate website
  • must be admitted and nominated by the faculty involved
  • must be a future leader (of industry)
  • must be strongly committed to social society.
  • This scholarship for the academic year 2011/2012 is provided by Mrs. De Winter, the widow of Prof. ir. Herman de Winter. Professor De Winter was one of the founders of the research and education department of the former Technical College Twente. In 1969 he became the first career counselor of Technical Physics. Before that, he had already been appointed as professor in Technical Physics at the department of Electrical Engineering.
    Professor De Winter was always engaged with Technical Physics. Together with his wife, he was always interested in how ‘his’ students were doing. Professor De Winter died 7 October 2005. Mrs. De Winter is still very engaged with the University of Twente and expresses this by donating an annual €10.000 of which €7.500 is meant for awarding a scholarship.
    After being admitted to the University, the faculty may decide to nominate you for the scholarship. In that case the faculty will contact you to confirm your interest in the scholarship.

    Scholarship Application Deadline: 1 April 2011

    Research Position:Microwave Power Systems for Irradiating Bio-solids, UBC, Canada

    We have a research opportunity for a talented graduate student (preferably PhD) interested in a multi-disciplinary research project in microwave power systems for heating bio-solids (residuals from sewage treatment plants) for enhanced energy (biogas) recovery. The student should have a strong background in electromagnetic theory and microwave engineering, and be interested in applying this knowledge to develop innovative waveguide structures for irradiating bio-solids. The student will be part of a multi-disciplinary research team and work with graduate students in environmental engineering who are developing innovative methods for treating organic waste from municipal and industrial sources. The research will involve theoretical work associated with the development of electro-thermal models for bio-solids, integrating these models into EM simulations of waveguide structures, and laboratory work to measure dielectric properties and implement microwave power systems.

    Interested students should contact Professors Thomas Johnson (Electrical Engineering) or Cigdem Eskicioglu (Environmental Engineering) in the School of Engineering at UBC. Please include your resume/CV with a brief description of your research experience.

    Scholarship Application Deadline: Contact employer, thomas.johnson-at-ubc.ca; cigdem.eskicioglu-at-ubc.ca
