“Identical triplets are very rare. It happens once in 200 million births. Brazil has a population of only 180 million, so Djalma, who was born in Brazil, is the only triplet in Brazil. And he is probably the only triplet in the world with a PhD, who knows”, said Professor Nico de Jong on Djalma Simões dos Santos’ groundbreaking doctorate at TU Delft on Friday 28 June 2024.

In-depth interview with prof. em. Joseph Braat about his role in optical storage (lead to invention of the CD), the early stages of lithography for chips fabrication and more.

Martin Verweij received funding from NWO for his project: "Cardiac patch for flexible ultrasound imaging". The project is in collaboration with ErasmusMC Rotterdam. Six application-oriented research projects received funding through the Open Technology Programme from the NWO Domain Applied and Engineering Sciences.

In the back of a cupboard at the Imaging Physics department of the Faculty of Applied Sciences (TNW) at TU Delft, a box full of interesting objects had hiding for almost thirty years. Nestled amongst prisms and scopes, was a mysterious microscope.

TU Delft's Executive Board has appointed Jacob Hoogenboom as Professor of Electron and Light Microscopy in the Department of Imaging Physics at the Faculty of Applied Sciences.

Qian Tao has been rewarded with an AiNed XS Europa grant for her project: Physics-informed generative medical imaging: An AI-for-AI solution to fair data

Examining tissues, cells, and proteins under a microscope helps us prevent and combat diseases. To study this, we need to precisely determine the dimensions of the biological structure. However, a biological sample may appear flatter under the light microscope than it actually is. Researchers at Delft University of Technology have now demonstrated for the first time that this distortion is not constant, contrary to what many scientists have assumed for decades. The breakthrough, published in Optica, confirms a prediction by Nobel laureate Stefan Hell from the 90s. With an online calculation tool and software, every researcher can now determine the correct depth of a biological sample.

Alesandra Placzek has just started at the ImPhys biocluster as a bio-technician/biolab supervisor aiming at providing experimental support to a couple of different projects and being involved in lab managerial tasks at the same time.

Jianyao Jin will help to develop a better understanding of electron matter interactions in the context of scanning electron microscopy. He will work under supervision of Kees Hagen.

TU Delft researcher Dr. Martin Verweij and USP researcher Dr. Theo Pavan were awarded the SPRINT grant to explore potential collaboration in the field of ultrasound imaging. Martin Verweij and Djalma dos Santos (PhD student) participated in a collaborative exchange facilitated by the São Paulo Researchers in International Collaboration (SPRINT) program.
