The Faculty of Applied Sciences is the largest faculty of TU Delft, with around 550 scientists, a support staff of 250 and 1,400 students. The faculty conducts fundamental, application-oriented research and offers scientific education at the bachelor, master and doctoral levels. The faculty is active in the fields of Life and Health Science & Technology, Nanoscience, Chemical Engineering, Radiation Science & Technology, and Applied Physics.
The Department of Radiation, Radionuclides and Reactors is situated in the Reactor Institute Delft (RID). The department's common focus is nuclear radiation and reactions. Although its areas of interest are varied, including materials, sensors and instrumentation, energy, sustainable production and health, all research is related to radiation in some way. In experimental research, extensive use is made of the research facilities of the Reactor Institute Delft as well as of large, international research facilities.
The Fundamental Aspects of Materials and Energy section performs research on functional and structural materials, aimed at practical applications. The focus is on the study of the relationships between structure, dynamics and function at the atomic and nanoscale. For this we use neutrons, positrons, X-rays, NMR, muons, Mssbauer spectroscopy and first principles modelling.
