Op 8 januari 2020 verdedigde Jelmer Brouwer zijn proefschrift 'Detection, detention, deportation'. Het promotieonderzoek is begeleid door promotoren prof.dr. J.P. van der Leun en prof.dr. M.A.H. van der Woude.

Single-molecule spectroscopy has become a powerful method for using organic fluorescent molecules in numerous applications.

Structural variants (SVs) are the hidden architecture of the human genome, and are critical for us to understand diseases, evolution, and so on.

Detecting nanoscopic objects plays an important role in nanoscience in particular, in the rapidly growing field of nanobiology. The forebear to modern super-resolution microscopy for single molecule investigation, is fluorescence microscopy.

The major and ultimate aim of metabolomics is to obtain an answer to a specific biological or clinical question.

How do nanoparticles bioaccumulate and biodistribute in organisms?

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading global cause of mortality. Endothelial dysfunction, an early reversible stage of CVD development, is marked by decreased nitric oxide production linked to Ca2+ influx in endothelial cells.

This thesis focuses on amyloid proteins, a class of proteins that convert into amyloid fibrils.

Transport inspectorates are looking for novel methods to identify dangerous behavior, ultimately to reduce risks associated to the movements of people and goods. We explore a data-driven approach to arrive at smart inspections of vehicles.

In this work, we attempt to answer the question:

This thesis focuses on protoplanetary disks: flattened structures of gas and dust around young stars in which planets are expected to form and grow.

This thesis seeks to combine two different research topics; Multi-Objective Optimization and Complex Network Analysis.

Met grote droefenis delen wij mede dat Piet van de Putte op 7 November 2016 is overleden.

Hoe moet de koran gelezen worden? Het schrift van het heilige boek maakt verschillende interpretaties mogelijk. Onderzoeker Marijn van Putten ontvangt een ERC Consolidator Grant van twee miljoen euro om eeuwenoude recitaties in kaart te brengen.

This thesis aims to improve the detection from ultra-weak single emitter by enhancing their emission properties with plasmonic nanostructures. We exploit the wet-chemically synthesized single crystalline gold nanorods (GNRs) as our basic frameworks in the whole studies, simply because of their unique…

The first direct detection of gravitational waves opened the possibility of mapping the Universe via this new and independent messenger.

In this PhD-thesis several new and existing data science application are described that are particularly focused on applications for tax administrations.

Understanding the formation and evolution of planetary systems is one of the most fundamental challenges in astronomy. To directly image and study young exoplanets and the circumstellar disks they form from, dedicated high-contrast imaging instruments are built.

A difficulty of studies on chemical kinetics are the reaction time scales and detection of their intermediates.

Tracing the evolution of the molecular gas content in galaxies is critical for a complete understanding of galaxy formation and evolution, as it provides the direct fuel for star formation. Studies of high-redshift (z>1) molecular gas reservoirs, most commonly traced by carbon monoxide (CO), have seen…

As a non-invasive genetic method, eDNA based approaches have become an important component of ecologists' and environmental managers' toolkits for biomonitoring in conservation and an increasingly important source of ecological knowledge.

With the dramatic growth of the image data on the web, there is an increasing demand of the algorithms capable of understanding the visual information automatically.

LiDAR is een relatief nieuwe meettechniek waarmee het Actueel Hoogtebestand Nederland het hele land zeer nauwkeurig mee heeft ingemeten. Het grote voordeel van deze manier van meten is dat vegetatie geen belemmering vormt. Hierdoor kunnen ook gebieden waar vegetatie de zichtbaarheid van de ondergrond…

More than 5,000 exoplanets have been found over the past couple of decades. These exoplanets show a tremendous diversity, ranging from scorching hot Jupiters, common super-Earths, to widely separated super-Jupiters on the planet/brown dwarf boundary.

Majorana fermions in superconductors are the subgap quasiparticle excitations that are their own antiparticles.

In this thesis, we describe the latest advances in SQUID-detected Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy (MRFM).

The adenosine receptors are proteins that reside in the extracellular membranes of cells. Activation of adenosine receptors plays a role in many physiological and pathological processes, such as immune responses and cancers.
