Dr. Jing Zhao obtained her PhD degree in the Numerical Analysis Group of the Department of Applied Mathematics in the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in 2015. Her PhD research focused on developing fast numerical solvers for the wheel-rail contact problems, arising from the railway industry. She has expertise in numerical iterative solvers and high-performance computing.
In the same year, after her PhD, she joined Deltares as a scientific software engineer, focusing on developing Deltares’ scientific software, particularly the Delft3D Flexible Mesh, which implements numerical solvers for hydrodynamic modelling. The users of this software include governmental organizations, consultant companies, universities and research institutes all around the world.
Since 2024, she has shifted toward Scientific Machine Learning (SciML), where she is researching on developing AI models, e.g. Graph Neural Networks–based models, as emulators of traditional numerical models for fast storm surge forecasting. Alongside this, she contributes to the development of Delft-FEWS (Flood forecasting and Early Warning System), by working on the configuration and related AI innovations.
Moreover, she maintains a close research collaboration with Delft University of Technology, on topics of SciML and fast numerical solvers (e.g., GPU-accelerated methods), by supervising PhD, Master’s, and internship projects, to bridge academic research and practical innovation.
For more information about her, please visit her LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jing-zhao-542bb775/
In this lunch lecture, she will give a general introduction of Deltares, talk about her work/projects at Deltares as an Applied Mathematician, and possible student project(s) at Deltares.

NextGen Smart Meters – Intelligence and Security at the Edge of the Grid
The NextGen Smart Meters project is a major leap forward in preparing the Dutch electricity grid for a future of decentralized and electrified energy use. With the rapid growth of solar panels, electric vehicles, and heat pumps, the low-voltage grid is under increasing pressure. Managing these distributed energy flows requires smarter, real-time insights from deep within the grid.
To meet this challenge, millions of advanced smart meters—each with edge computing capabilities—are being deployed across the country. These meters are designed to do more than just measure consumption in the future; they actively monitor and analyze local grid conditions, helping operators better balance demand and supply on a neighborhood scale.
Infiniot plays a key role in enabling this transformation. Carlo and Joost ensure that the software running on and around these meters is thoroughly and continuously tested. At the same time, we implement robust security measures to safeguard sensitive data and protect this critical infrastructure from potential threats.
With our contribution, NextGen Smart Meters are not only smarter, but also more reliable and secure—paving the way for a flexible and resilient energy system fit for the future.
Please note that our primary focus is on the Dutch Energy market and therefore this lecture will be most relevant for Dutch students. However, all students are welcome and the lecture will be given in English.

Graduating at ASML: How I Trained an AI Model to Improve Computer Chip Manufacturing
By Thomas Kamminga
Until this summer, I was in your shoes as a mathematics student. I completed my studies with a graduation project at ASML, where I trained a graph neural network to denoise measurements used in the chip manufacturing process. In this presentation, I will share how I ended up at ASML, explain the process of manufacturing a computer chip, discuss what I tried to achieve with my model, and, of course, delve into some exciting mathematics!

Reading code is much harder than writing code. Yet, a line of code is read more often than it is being written. Thus, we need documentation, which is read less! Wouldn't it be great to use this documentation more effectively? Enter Model Driven Engineering, where the model represents both documentation and (part of) the software. At Sioux we've developed our own IDE to tackle this problem and have successfully applied it to several projects. Come and listen what this perhaps strange programming method has to offer, and we might change your thoughts what a programming language actually is.

Are you ready for a realistic and immersive experience in the world of logistical problems? This case represents the kind of challenges we, as consultants at Pipple, deal with on a daily basis. You are approached by a colleague to join in on a logistical issue with a client, where the exact problem is not immediately clear. You receive a series of emails from a fictional client named LogiSolutions, filled with complaints about deliveries and service.
Your challenge? Identify the core problems and develop a presentation on the 'picking process.' Through role-playing with key players, such as the warehouse manager and the head of IT, you’ll uncover subtle clues. Something seems to be wrong with the 'picking rounds,' but what exactly? Dive deeper into the data to identify inconsistencies and issues. This case offers a unique opportunity to apply your analytical skills to realistic scenarios and provides insight into the complexity of the daily work of a data consultant.
