CITC at 1st Mechanical Engineering Innovation Day TU/e

June 24, 2025 – CITC’s Noud Schoenmakers was one of the presenters at the Mechanical Engineering (ME) Innovation Day at Eindhoven University of Technology. He talked about his PhD work on understanding the micromechanics and reliability of lead-free interconnects designed for power packaging.

Creating impact

The ME department wants to create impact through the innovations resulting from their research. An important route to achieve this is through valorization by collaborating with industrial partners linking their (fundamental) research to practical applications for the real world.

To acknowledge the importance of innovation and valorization, the ME department hosted its first annual Innovation Day, dedicated to showcasing how its research creates and fosters societal and industrial impact.
