Nieuwe scanmethode keert objecten razendsnel binnenstebuiten
Live meekijken met een CT-scan in plaats van achteraf de beelden pas te analyseren. Als het aan de Leidse wiskundige Jan-Willem Buurlage ligt, is dat binnenkort realiteit. Hij ontwikkelt methodes om de algoritmes achter 3D-scans sneller te maken. Best een uitdaging: ‘Net als wiskundigen zijn computers…

Metabolomics assisted with stable-isotope labeling: exploring neuronal metabolism related to Parkinson’s disease
The progressive loss and degeneration of dopaminergic neurons is a major pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD). The onset and progression of PD can be triggered by multiple risk factors, for instance, genetic mutation, environmental exposure, and aging.

Mining the kinematics of discs to hunt for planets in formation
Detecting planets during their formation stages is crucial for understanding the history and diversity of fully developed planetary systems like our own. However, observing young planets directly is challenging because they are often deeply embedded within their host protoplanetary discs, rich in gas…

Structure dependence of molecular reactions on surfaces
The research presented in this thesis makes use of small molecules (as H2 , D2 and O2 ) on well-defined single crystal surfaces (flat Pt(111), flat Cu(211) and curved Pt(111)) to elucidate the role of surface structure and degrees of freedom in the reactant in specific surface reactions.
