Mark Raasveldt wins Student Research Competition at SIGMOD 2018
Mark Raasveldt, PhD student at CWI’s Database Architecture (DA) group, won the Student Research Competition at the SIGMOD 2018 conference for his work titled "MonetDBLite: An Embedded Analytical Database".
CWI researchers make power grid more reliable with mathematics
Researchers from Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) discovered how large fluctuations in solar and wind energy, combined with the physical network dynamics of electricity, can cause failures in power grids.
Efficient models for high voltage switching
In the search for better environmentally friendly high-voltage switches, it is important to understand electrical breakdowns in various media. PhD student Ashutosh Agnihotri (CWI) developed efficient computational models to simulate these phenomena in different gas mixtures. He defends his PhD thesis at Eindhoven University of Technology on 25 June.
