In this thesis, I study the formation of large-scale structure and the physics of particle acceleration at large scales (~Mpc).

Vitamin A or retinol is essential in embryonic development, the visual cycle and the immune system.

In the early universe, the dynamics of the Higgs field can give rise to many interesting phenomena.

In this thesis, we have studied the potential of the zebrafish larval model in studying the ECS, as a complementary model to the existing rodent models.

Science is typically a patchwork of research contributions without much coordination. Especially in clinical trials, the follow-up studies that we do fail to be the most promising.

In this thesis we study the landscape of gravitational models which modify GR by introducing an additional scalar degree of freedom (d.o.f.) to source Cosmic Acceleration.

Molecular materials have been a subject of interest in fundamental research and applications for decades, and have been studied as bulk crystals, (thin) films and as individual molecules, due to the large variety in their properties. This dissertation explores pentacene crystals near the two-dimensional…

Binnen het brede netwerk van de Universiteit Leiden neemt het instituut deel aan onderzoek binnen de volgende profileringsgebieden:

The thesis is about the study of shell evolution of the Hydrocenidae of the genus Georissa. This thesis started with a general overview on the evolutionary process of animals due to ecological changes.

This dissertation is part of a broader research project that revolves around unraveling the evolution of balanced lethal systems.

The European Council and the European Commission have a similar role in agenda setting. Both place issues on the EU agenda. However, these institutions have distinct designs. They have different political attributes (the European Council has considerably more political authority) and information-processing…

This dissertation is a collection of four research articles devoted to the study of Kummer theory for commutative algebraic groups.

In this thesis we study products of linear error correcting codes.

The Low Frequency Array enables studies of low-frequency carbon radio recombination lines with unprecedented sensitivity, spectral and spatial resolution.

De toekomst van islam in Nederland

Sterrenkundigen zijn cijfermatig sterk en dus gewild voor posities binnen en buiten het onderzoek in verschillende sectoren. Je kunt aan de slag in de wetenschap, het bedrijfsleven, het onderwijs of bij de overheid.

Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are a group of orphan diseases characterized by lysosomal dysfunction or impaired lysosomal catabolism and affect collectively about 1 in 5000 live births.

To get an idea of the science communication products and research that is possible, a few examples of student projects of recent years are shown below.

Religious Studies at Leiden University allows you to study a broad spectrum of religions and their manifestations.

The mission of our group is understanding how science communication works to improve the interaction between science and society. We believe better science communication can improve our society and engage many different groups with science, also improving science.

Learning from small data sets in machine learning is a crucial challenge, especially when dealing with data imbalances and anomaly detection. This thesis delves into the challenges and methodologies of learning from small datasets in machine learning, with a particular focus on addressing data imbalances…

This thesis presents the results of a study on the interfaces of insulating oxides with and without the insertion of a magnetic layer.

Atoms and molecules are the basic units of matter. If we keep dividing a bar of gold or a glass of water into smaller parts, at the end we are left with a single gold atom or a water molecule.

In een levendige schets van de recente geschiedenis van islam en moslims in Nederland laat Maurits Berger zien hoe dat zo is gekomen. Hij toont aan dat we die geschiedenis in eigen hand hebben, en kunnen wijzigen als we willen.

Decentralized plug and play systems for energy production are the future picture of our society. Artificial photosynthetic systems are used for this purpose.

This research delves into a region of space known as the interstellar medium (ISM), which is essentially the area between the stars filled with gas and dust.
