Michael Debije is an Associate Professor in the research group of Stimuli-responsive Functional Materials and Devices at Eindhoven University of Technology, where he focuses on controlling light within the built environment. His current research includes projects on Luminescent Solar Concentrators (LSCs), which are adaptable solar energy generators suitable for urban settings, and Infrared Control Windows that switch between heat-reflecting and heat-transmitting states based on seasonal changes. He is also working on 4D-printed Responsive Polymeric Actuators that respond to environmental changes and LSC-Photomicroreactors for off-grid production of fine chemicals. With a background in High Energy Physics and Biophysics, Michael aims to bridge traditional disciplines by creating disruptive technologies and actively seeks out collaborative efforts with chemists, physicists, designers, and architects. He emphasizes the importance of public engagement and communication within his research, striving to publish in high-ranked journals and contribute to popular press.
Specific departments like Industrial Design require a portfolio. Programs like Data Science and AI require a GRE-General test for certain international backgrounds.
