The LIACS Media Lab has received a research grant from the worldwide leading graphics hardware company NVIDIA. The grant exists of newly developed hardware utilizing thousands of processors. LIACS researchers will use it to investigate deep learning in understanding imagery from sources such as MRI…

A series of workshops at Leiden University and the University of Hamburg will act as a forum in which international legal scholars whose research adopts a behavioural approach can present their works-in-progress and gain feedback from a broad range of peers, including scholars in economics and cognitive…

Het onderzoeksthema ‘Straftoemeting’ richt zich op straftoemeting in brede zin. Het zwaartepunt ligt op straftoemetingsbeslissingen van rechters, maar ook andere beslissingen die eerder in het strafproces worden genomen, zoals de beslissing over verlenging of beëindiging van de voorlopige hechtenis,…

Het Data Science Onderzoeksprogramma (DSO) combineert Leidse promotieonderzoeken uit allerlei disciplines met data science. Het programma loopt nu ruim twee jaar, en levert verrassende eerste resultaten op. Hieronder vertellen een aantal promovendi over hun ervaringen en hun onderzoek.

The research group Politics, Culture and National Identities 1789-present investigates a wide range of national political cultures in Europe and the Americas in the 19th and 20th centuries. Instead of only analyzing high politics (the acts of governments and political parties), the research group focuses…

SEAtrans: an interdisciplinary research project that aims at studying the dynamics and processes of transitions in society-nature interactions in Southeast Asian societies.

Examining the sustainability aspects of biotechnology, especially those related to the production of ethanol from biomass.

In this project innovative technology for photovoltaics cells is developed and analysis of ecological and health related risks are explicitly accounted for.

Indigenous Latin American artifacts have attracted the interest of Europeans since the earliest moment of contact between Europeans and the Indigenous peoples of the Americas. The ERC-funded BECACO project uses an innovative multidisciplinary framework to investigate the provenance of ethnographic and…

How to bring together different footprints into an integrated family and what are the synergies? What are the roles of inventory analysis and characterization in measuring individual footprints and how these affect a footprint family? How to benchmark environmental footprints against related planetary…

Over the past years it has been discovered that the population of extra-solar planets is large and diverse.

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

Explaining treatment response variability between and within patients can support treatment and dosing optimization, to improve treatment of individual patients.

In this thesis, we developed new ways to use a technique called electroextraction (EE) to extract charged molecules from one liquid into another using an electric field.

How can prospective LCA be streamlined in a way that its practical application in research and technology development increases?

In this thesis, the focus lies on studying glucocorticoid receptor dynamics in living cells with the aim of understanding how this transcription factor finds its DNA target sites to regulate transcription.

Het onderzoek van de afdeling Economie is ondergebracht bij meerdere facultaire programma's. Het onderzoek van de afdeling richt zich thans met name op sociaal-economische vraagstukken, rechtseconomie en fiscale economie.

What physics controls the properties of quantum matter, such as how electrons flow inside high-temperature superconductors? This question has captivated the physics community and industry for decades, in part due to the great technological potential such materials have, but also because they have resisted…

Several single-stranded RNA viruses make use of Xrn1-resistant RNAs in their 3’ untranslated regions of their genome RNAs in order to increase their pathogenicity.

De programmagroep Leer- en Gedragsproblemen in het Onderwijs doet onderzoek naar stagnaties die kunnen optreden in de cognitieve ontwikkeling.

Combinatorial games are games for two competing players, moving in a turn-by-turn fashion, in which there is no chance nor hidden information⁠. Chess, checkers and the simpler tic tac toe are well-known examples of this class of games, as well as game of go⁠.

This thesis describes the genetic and prokaryotic diversity of giant barrel sponges.

This thesis explores Breaking of Ensemble Equivalence (BEE) in random graph models by examining the spectral properties of adjacency matrices. The goal is to identify spectral characteristics that differentiate random graph ensembles, enhancing the understanding of complex network structures and beh…

The research presented in this thesis explores the chemotherapeutic potential of metal-based compounds as chemotherapy agents, with an initial focus on the synthesis and DNA interaction studies of platinum and palladium compounds utilizing the [Pt(bapbpy)]2+ scaffold. The study identifies intercalation…

High-angular-resolution observations of the circumstellar material have uncovered numerous and very diverse substructures in protoplanetary discs, raising the question of whether they are caused by forming planets or other mechanisms.

The haplolepideous mosses (Dicranidae) comprise about 4000 species distributed over a wide range of habitats, with great gametophytic and sporophytic morphological variation. Their monophyly is well supported by the results of several molecular phylogenetic studies, which shed light on their relationships…
