Myron completed his master’s in Life Science & Technology at the University of Leiden. Since October 1st he joined the MInT group at ImPhys as a PhD student. His research will focus on localizing proteins within the nucleus of the cell with help of DNA-PAINT supervised by at the group of Hylkje Geertsema

Martijn has completed his master’s in Applied Physics at TU-Eindhoven with a thesis focused on multipole correction for a multi-beam SEM source which was done in collaboration with the Thermo-Fisher company in Eindhoven. His project focus is to develop a MEMS Monochromtor for electron microcopy applications supervised by Ali Mohammadi-Gheidari.

During last education day, Freek Pols became one of the TUD Education Fellows: The Delft Education Fellowship recognises and appreciates the efforts of lecturers for educational innovation and boosts the impact on educational reform and development. Freek's project, entitled: The road to scientific inquiry “Transforming lab courses”, focuses on setting up collaboration between the four educational programs of our faculty with regards to the introductory lab courses.

William Kramer is doing his MSc end project with Dr. Joost van der Neut about using the Marchenko equations for eliminating multiple reflections from seismic and ultrasound data.

Sabiju Valiya Valappil will be working on the PostDoc project entitled "Integrated photonics-based sensors for Bragg peak localization using ultrasound," where the focus will be to develop a highly sensitive ultrasound sensor that possesses a broad operational frequency range for detecting ultrasound pulses from the interaction between the proton beam with the ultrasound contrast agent.

Lex Herrmann will investigate the affects on ultrashort laser pulses that create acoustic pulses inside metals. Together with the known literature, he will try to link theoretical predictions of the shape of the pulse inside the metal with the experimental measurements using interferometry. He will be supervised by Koen van Dongen.

Nuno is doing an Erasmus exchange program from Portugal for the next 6 months. His background is in Applied Physics and he is currently doing his Master's degree in the University of Porto. While in Delft, he will be doing a research project on neural network based parametric mapping under Dr. Qian’s supervision.

Min Park joined the ImPhys department as a lab manager. He will be working with Dr. David Maresca and Dion Terwiel on pH sensitive protein gas vesicles as ultrasound imaging contrasts. He has completed his undergraduate and graduate studies in biological sciences and bioengineering at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

In October 2022, Dr. Miriam Menzel has joined the Department of Imaging Physics as Assistant Professor. Her lab will exploit the scattering of visible light to resolve complex fiber structures in biological tissues.

The NWO has awarded over 4.5 million euros to six projects through the Open Technology Programme, including the SUSTAINER project of Gijsje Koenderink and the Digital Pathology in 3D project of Sjoerd Stallinga.
