Als onderdeel van het jubileum wordt bovendien een buitengewone eendaagse conferentie…

In oktober werd Sophie Starrenburg gekozen tot lid van het coördinerende comité van de ESIL ‘Interest Group on the International Law of Culture’. Ze zal hierin samenwerken met Giovanni Carlo Bruno (Italian National Research Council), Andrzej Jakubowski (Polish Academy of Sciences) en Lucas Lixinski…

This thesis consists of three chapters. Each chapter is on a different subject. However, all three chapters address issues that arise in counting arithmetically interesting objects.

The interest of this thesis lies in spin transport in normal metals and superconducting half-metallic junctions.

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

Quantum hardware comes with a different computing paradigm and new ways to tackle applications. Much effort has to be put into understanding how to leverage this technology to give real-world advantages in areas of interest for industries such as combinatorial optimization or machine learning.

In this thesis, we have studied the potential of the zebrafish larval model in studying the ECS, as a complementary model to the existing rodent models.

The main focus of this thesis is the behaviour of two-dimensional materials, namely (anti)-ferromagnetic materials in the first two chapters, which show topological phases, and energetic square ice in the third and fourth chapter.

In the early universe, the dynamics of the Higgs field can give rise to many interesting phenomena.

Interactive exploration of large volumes of data is increasingly common, as data scientists attempt to extract interesting information from large opaque data sets. This scenario presents a difficult challenge for traditional database systems, as (1) nothing is known about the query workload in advance,…

The electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is an essential half-reaction for the utilization of hydrogen as a sustainable fuel, via the conversion of hydrogen to electrons and protons facilitated by the ORR. In the most common fuel cells, the ORR is requires high loadings of non-abundant platinum…

Optical cavities are useful tools to enhance the interaction between light and matter, which is important to make good quantum emitters. However, it turns out that the cavities themselves (without any quantum emitters) are already interesting objects to study.

For our April Connect & event, Femmy Admiraal (UBL-CDS) and Céline Richard (FSW) will present

Over several decades, a variety of computational methods for drug discovery have been proposed and applied in practice. With the accumulation of data and the development of machine learning methods, computational drug design methods have gradually shifted to a new paradigm, i.e. deep learning methods…

Some examples of research questions include: What framework of circular strategies should local practitioners use? How should practitioners organize their monitoring of the circular economy activities in the region of interest? What are the main products that have the most circular potential in the…

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

The thesis focuses on synthesis strategies in oligosaccharide campaigns, and the influence of protecting groups.

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

This multidisciplinary minor provides students with knowledge on how and why humans became the way they are. The minor focuses on the evolution of the species Homo sapiens from other hominin lineages and animal ancestors, and on the various factors shaping this process. Not only is human evolution of…

This dissertation is about Bayesian learning from data. How can humans and computers learn from data?

In this thesis chemical and physical processes in the ice mantles on interstellar dust grains are studied.

We are living in an information era where the amount of image and video data increases exponentially.

Healthy aging is one of the prime goals in today's society and atherosclerosis is among the greatest causes of morbidity in elderly. Cardiovascular disease patients receiving treatment are often of advanced aged and have an aged immune system, which limits translating experimental findings to the pa…
