Light Weighed: On the Statistics and Systematics of Weak Gravitational Lensing
In astronomy, the interpration of observations and measurements plays a crucial role: we rely purely and fundamentally on the information that reaches us as observers. And 80% of all matter in the universe is undetectable directly.

Imperfections: using defects to program designer matter
Errors are everywhere, and mechanical failures are especially common: buckled grain silos and cracked support columns are, justly, seen as an issue to be avoided.

Shining Light on Interstellar Matter
Promotor: H.V.J. Linnartz

Galaxy alignments from multiple angles
Galaxies form and live inside dark matter haloes. As a consequence, they are exposed to the tidal fields generated by the surrounding matter distribution: this imprints a preferential direction to the galaxy shapes, which leads to a coherent alignment on physically close galaxies, called intrinsic a…

Criminaliteit voorspellen in forumnetwerken op het dark web
In dit project gebruiken we sociale netwerkanalyse om het gedrag van gebruikers op online fora en bijbehorende marktplaatsen in de tijd te analyseren.

The distribution of stellar mass in galaxy clusters over cosmic time
Promotor: Prof.dr. K.H. Kuijken, Co-Promotor: H.Hoekstra

The alignment of galaxies across all scales
Galaxy intrinsic alignments induce a major astrophysical contamination to weak gravitational lensing measurements and need to be modelled and mitigated when extracting cosmological information from such measurements.

De donkere kant van het universum ophelderen
Het moet er zijn, alleen kunnen we het niet zien: de raadselachtige donkere materie en donkere energie in het heelal. Henk Hoekstra is een van de vele kosmologen die dolgraag, willen weten waar deze substanties precies uit bestaan. Hij kreeg er een Europese onderzoekssubsidie van 1,3 miljoen euro vo…

Withstanding the cold: energy feedback in simulations of galaxies that include a cold interstellar medium
Understanding how galaxies form, interact, and evolve comes largely from comparing theory predictions with observational data. Numerical simulations of galaxies provide the most accurate approach to testing the theory, as they follow the non-linear evolution of gas and dark matter in great detail and…
