New preprint from our group: MesoMem: A mesoscale membrane model based on an additive potential on arxiv.org/abs/2602.24123. Using an additive potential combining positional and orientational terms, we get a stable and robust membrane model. Great work of PhD student Pietro Sillano.

Delighted to announce that I'm awarded an @nronl.bsky.social Comenius Leadership Fellow grant to work on co-creation of interactive open textbooks as an educational tool. Excited to explore this with and for our students in the coming years. See edu.nl/w78qp for a description of the project.

New educational paper in European Journal of Physics on deriving Stokes drag using a versatile technique, Oseen tensors, which allows you to easily get the flow in a wide range of boundary conditions, such as around an obstacle or near a wall: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...

Likewise, I had the privilege of interacting with Hans van Leeuwen on a daily basis during my PhD years at the instituut Lorentz. I fondly remember his warmth, his passion for science and his deep knowledge of statistical physics, which he generously shared with us all.

Negenennegentig natuurkundeproeven gratis. Dat biedt het nieuwste open interactieve tekstboek van de TU Delft. Het is compleet met video en educatieve tips voor studenten en docenten. “Waarom zouden we anderen niet laten profiteren van onze jaren aan werk?”, zegt TNW Education Fellow Freek Pols.
