Ferdinand Grapperhaus
has presented the results of his bachelor eindproject on Monday, Aug
20, 11:00. The project with some interruptions lasted from March. It was in the field of nanomechanics where we wanted to understand better the interpaly between torsion and bending in the oscillations of carbon nanotube resonators.
He impressed us with his presentation that had some elaborated structure
and provoked deep and provocative questions: given the fact that it was
perhaps the first presentation of a kind in his life. During the closed
part of the defence, he answered quickly and correctly on my classic
question about the rainbow, a question no master student could answer
without substantial hints. With this, and his persistence and enthusiasm
during the project time no wonder he got a pretty good mark. After this, he said he enjoyed time spent in our group: perhaps he was sincere.
Good luck, Ferdinand, with your master studies!
