The Titus Brandsma Institute and Radboud University Nijmegen organize an international conference on Thursday 19 and Friday 20 August 2021: Thomas a Kempis, his Works and their Reception.

Snelle en goedkope chips die extreem kleine hoeveelheden vloeistof (microfluïden) analyseren vormen de kern van gepersonaliseerde gezondheidszorg. Maar het ‘laboratorium op een chip’ is nog niet effectief genoeg. Dr. Paul Vulto en zijn onderzoeksteam ontwikkelden een techniek die het gebruik van microfluïdische…

The work presented in this thesis is based on ALMA surveys of protoplanetary disks in three star-forming regions: Lupus, OMC-2, and NGC 2024.

In this thesis, we study systems of electrons in which strong correlations give rise to emergent exotic physics.

In this dissertation, the synthesis and characterization of a series of iron complexes based on different ligand platforms are described.

This thesis is a collection of theoretical works aiming at adjusting quantum algorithms to the hardware of quantum computers.

A dense region of a gaseous and dusty cloud collapses to form a protostar surrounded by a disk and an envelope. This thesis uses both observations and models to study physical and chemical conditions of these protostellar systems which are likely where planets start to form.

Geometric phases lead to a nontrivial interference result when an electron's different quantum mechanical paths choices encircle a magnetic coil in an Aharonov-Bohm experiment.

Modeling and analysis of cyber-physical systems are still challenging. One reason is that cyber-physical systems involve many different parts (cyber or physical), of different nature (discrete or continuous), and in constant interaction via sensing and actuating.

Inverse problems are problems where we want to estimate the values of certain parameters of a system given observations of the system. Such problems occur in several areas of science and engineering. Inverse problems are often ill-posed, which means that the observations of the system do not uniquely…

This thesis is comprised of three chapters covering the theme of studying semistable varieties by looking at their dual combinatorial objects.

Lysosomal glycosidases are acid hydrolases that fragment glycoconjugates in lysosomes.

Advanced sensing techniques require graphene with high quality and well-controlled surface chemistry.

In a typical glycosylation reaction, a donor is activated to form a (variety of) electrophilic species which can react with a nucleophilic acceptor, following a reaction mechanism having both SN1 and SN2 character.

Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease in the world. One of its symptoms is the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta.

This thesis describes the use of a combined approach of computational and experimental techniques to gain novel insights to understand the glycosylation reaction and its reactive intermediates.

Majorana fermions in superconductors are the subgap quasiparticle excitations that are their own antiparticles.

The focus of the described research in this thesis is on the oxidative stress response (Nrf2 pathway). The aim of the research presented in this thesis is to obtain more information concerning microRNAs which are involved in the Nrf2 pathway, to determine and evaluate the application of microRNAs for…

In my research, we developed a method to distinguish knots. A knot is a mathematical depiction of the everyday knot that occurs in ropes and cords.

Why do black holes emit thermal radiation? And how does a closed quantum system thermalize?

This dissertation consists of two parts, each of which considers a different research area related to random interval maps. In the first part we are interested in random interval maps that are critically intermittent.

EU Universe Awareness (EU-UNAWE), een educatief sterrenkundeproject van de Leidse Sterrewacht, heeft gloednieuw lesmateriaal ontwikkeld: Universe in a Box. Het toegankelijke lespakket is ontworpen om de moeilijke en soms abstracte concepten van sterrenkunde uit te leggen aan jonge kinderen van 4 tot…

World history is often framed in terms of flows of people and migration: humans coming ‘out of Africa’, the spread of farmers in the Holocene, Phoenician and Greek diasporas over the ancient Mediterranean, the colonization of the world by Europeans from the 16th century onwards. Together with his Exeter…

Het project Universe Awareness (UNAWE) van de Universiteit Leiden organiseert een Kickstarter crowdfunding campagne om de lespakketten van 'Universe in a Box', een lespakket voor sterrenkunde, zoveel mogelijk te kunnen verspreiden onder kansarme gemeenschappen over de hele wereld.

Deze colleges zijn in het Engels, u kunt vragen stellen en reageren in het Nederlands.

Een goede taalontwikkeling is van belang voor de cognitieve en sociale ontwikkeling, om te kunnen communiceren en om te kunnen leren. Als de taalontwikkeling niet verloopt zoals verwacht, kan dit allerlei consequenties hebben. Kinderen met een extra X of Y chromosoom hebben een verhoogd risico op problemen…

Dark matter is one of the biggest mysteries of the Universe. Its properties cannot be explained with the known laws of physics and elementary particles.

This course uses the lives, ideals and achievements of Theodore, Franklin, and Eleanor Roosevelt to create the idea of a Rooseveltian century. It is an invitation to think critically and historically, and it wants to give you a glimpse of what it means to be a historian at work.

Linde Desmaele onderzoekt de rol van Amerikaanse tactische kernwapens in Europa. Zij stelt dat deze wapens voornamelijk dienen als instrumenten voor bondgenootschapsbeheer.
