Humans share meaning through language. Over time, repeated interactions have shaped languages into forms that match our cognitive preferences, making them structured, expressive, easy to learn, and ultimately, meaningful.

This thesis is about cosmological inflation and its relation to observations.

CT scanning of skeletal remains can tell us about how strong or weak a persons bones were and we can relate that back to diet, activity, and reproductive factors.

This thesis concerns the relation bettween the good reduction of Shimura varieties and the associated loop groups.

Transport inspectorates are looking for novel methods to identify dangerous behavior, ultimately to reduce risks associated to the movements of people and goods. We explore a data-driven approach to arrive at smart inspections of vehicles.

This thesis mainly focuses on multimodal understanding and Visual Question Answering (VQA) via deep learning methods. For technical contributions, this thesis first focuses on improving multimodal fusion schemes via multi-stage vision-language interactions.

This thesis combines field and laboratory studies to address some of the most pressing questions in the field of microplastic research.

BlaC is the β-lactamase of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We show that it can recover from inhibition by clavulanic acid and that phosphate helps it do so.

This dissertation aims to advance understanding of amoeboid single cell migration under the influence of changing physicochemical environmental properties. The particular focus is on the relatively unknown influence of differing physical properties in the extracellular environment, such as the migratory…

Chapter 1,contains the numerical verification of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for hundreds of Jacobians of hyperelliptic curves of genus 2, 3, 4 and 5.

We investigate how radiation pressure can be used to influence the mechanical motion of a micro-mirror suspended from springs.

This thesis consists of three papers that are centered around the common theme of Hausdorff uo-Lebesgue topologies and convergence structures on vector lattices and on vector lattices and vector lattice algebras of order bounded operators.

Supply risks are not new. But the aggravation of power conflicts on the international stage coupled with global shifts towards energy transition and digitalization has triggered the next supply risk research era.

The work in this thesis demonstrates how to obtain an atomic-scale picture of a diverse set of complex surface structures observed using STM, under disparate conditions.

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

During the course of drug discovery translational steps are made.

One of the major limitations in culturing complex tissues or organs is the lack of vascularization in the cultured tissue. Development of a functional capillary bed could overcome this problem.

When a star is born in our Galaxy, it is quite likely that it has formed within a massive cluster, which hosts numerous high-mass stars bathing their lower mass neighbours in UV radiation.

Dit project stelt het idee van een liberale Amerikaanse wereldorde ter discussie. Het onderzoekt hoe illiberale denkbeelden het buitenlands beleid van de VS vormden en wat dat betekent voor internationale politiek vandaag.

De Swahilikust kent een lange geschiedenis van transoceanische islamitische verbindingen die teruggaat tot de 25e eeuw. Toch heeft de boekdrukkunst de wereld veranderd; niet alleen de onze. In dit project worden unieke vormen en archieven van intellectuele geschiedenis ontrafeld die vanuit Zuid-Zuid-verbindingen…

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,…

ELS@Leiden onderzoek omvat een breed scala aan empirisch-juridische projecten die worden uitgevoerd op Leiden Law School, vanuit het perspectief van meerdere disciplines en methodes. Hier kan je de publicaties van onze (voormalige) lab members vinden sinds het begin van het Sector Plan.

De onderzoeksgroep Business, Technology & Public Policy van de afdeling Bedrijfswetenschappen van Universiteit leiden houdt zich bezig met het onderzoeken van de dynamische wisselwerking tussen ‘nieuwe’ technologieën en de verschillende belanghebbenden die hiermee interacteren, waaronder consumenten,…

Catherina Wilson is op 1 oktober 2012 aan ons Instituut begonnen met een promotieonderzoek.

Op de LION/Sterrewacht nieuwjaarsborrel heeft prof. Tjerk Oosterkamp de 2016 Hendrik Casimir Prize uitgereikt aan natuurkundestudenten Andrea Peña (Leiden) en Jorrit Hortensius (Delft).
