What are interactive effects of human pressures on aquatic communities?

Indonesia is experiencing various environmental challenges related to its fast economic growth. Therefore, it is necessary to have measurable and applicable indicators to obtain accurate data and information regarding the costs of adverse environmental impacts arising from economic activities to support…

Leren om onderzoek te doen is een goede voorbereiding op wetenschappelijk onderwijs. De Universiteit Leiden helpt je daarom graag op weg om profielwerkstuk te schrijven waar je trots op kunt zijn.

De tweejarige masteropleiding Physics wordt aangeboden door het Leids Instituut voor Onderzoek in de Natuurkunde. De opleiding is theoretisch en experimenteel. Er is ruime aandacht voor onderzoekstraining. Ook bieden we veel keuzemogelijkheden en op maat gemaakte, individuele studieprogramma’s.

This thesis deals with the use of sound in interactions in the context of participatory systems and data sonification. We investigate an interactive environment where participants perceive information of the data through sound elements.

Na het afronden van de bacheloropleiding volgen verreweg de meeste studenten de masteropleiding.

A Josephson junction is a device where a thin insulating barrier or a nanostructure is placed between two superconducting leads. Such a junction is essential to superconducting qubits that store quantum information due to its anharmonic spectrum.

Het Quantum Delta NL-programma, waaraan de Universiteit Leiden deelneemt, krijgt 615 miljoen euro uit het Nationaal Groeifonds om Nederland te ontwikkelen tot een koploper in quantumtechnologie. Dit werd vandaag bekend gemaakt bij de presentatie van de winnende voorstellen in Den Haag.

Do e-waste workers display enhanced effects of adverse health effects due to informal e-waste processing in Nigeria? Is there a difference between the health outcomes of the exposed and the control groups? Are there difference in health effects within and between job groups (collectors, dismantlers,…

Where and how are critical materials currently used and how can this information be used to develop scenarios about their future demand.

Development of indicators to assess decoupling of economic development and environmental pressure in the EU-25 and AC-3 countries.

This project uses archaeological, literary and epigraphic evidence to investigate urban development in Roman-period North Africa, compiling this in a GIS-linked database in order to analyse the development of urban settlement spatially over time.

Corruption, integrity (or a lack thereof…) and public values are near omnipresent elements in public administration and politics of all times. Cases of corrupt public officials and politicians continuously emerge. Strangely enough, however, it often remains unknown what actually occurred, how something…

This thesis focuses on the X-ray spectral analysis of merging galaxy clusters and the plasma code development for future high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy observations.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are the most abundant class of organic compounds in space. The PAH field evolves from the constant interaction between experimentalists, theorists, modellers and observers. While laboratory research and quantum chemical calculations together set up the molecular…

Food security is challenged by a growing global population and by climate change. Drought and soil salinity are considered the most important ones that inhibit crop yield and distribution. Worryingly, climate change is predicted to increase not only their frequency and severity, but also their co-occurrence,…
