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.

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

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

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?

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.

Pas bij binnenkomst in de Hooglandse Kerk kreeg Kees van Putten in de gaten dat hij geen repetitie van het Nederlands Kamerkoor ging bijwonen. Hij werd benoemd tot Ridder in de Orde van Oranje Nassau.

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

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

In this work, we attempt to answer the question:

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

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.

Kan een robot de tanende belangstelling voor het boeddhisme in Japan weer aanwakkeren? Universitair docent Peter van der Putten doet onderzoek naar de filosofische en maatschappelijke vragen die samenhangen met kunstmatige intelligentie. Ook onderzoekt hij of computers en robots creativiteit, emoties…

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.

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…

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

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.

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…

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

Gold nanoparticles show surprisingly strong interactions with light in the visible range, which can be divided into scattering, absorption, and photoluminescence.

With the emergence of online social networks (OSNs), the way people create and share information has changed, which becomes faster and broader than traditional social media.

The ideas underlying this thesis are that lipidomics may improve the diagnosis of liver metabolic diseases, and can provide further insights into the underlying pathophysiology of these diseases.
