Kevin de Vos has joined the lab as an intern from the Hogeschool Leiden. Kevin is studying Biology and Medical Laboratory research and will complete a thesis project on zebrafish genotyping for biomedical imaging.

Luuk Balkende started his master end project this week. He is going to research how machine learning can be used to predict fluorescence in EM images. His supervisors are Jacob Hoogeboom and Ryan Lane.

A delegation of 50 people from BISME (Bejing Institute of Space Mechanics and Electricity) visited the ImPhys Optics Group. They combined this visit with the International Symposium on Space Optics Instruments and Applications in Delft.

Sven Weerdenburg will work on Lensless Imaging of 3D Nanostructures with Soft X-Rays as part of a consortium LINX. His superviser is Wim Coene.

Bas van der Hoeven has joined the lab of Elizabeth Carroll for his Nanobiology MEP. He will implement an image analysis pipeline for whole-brain calcium imaging in living zebrafish, and use light sheet microscopy to compare brain dynamics in a fish model without microglia to determine how microglia shape brain development.

On October 2nd Ying Tang succesfully defended his PhD thesis "Applications of Optical Birefringe: with Natural-Matrials and Meta-Materials".

From 26 to 28 August, Sjoerd Stallinga and Bernd Rieger from the department of Imaging Physics hosted the 9th Single Molecule Localization Microscopy Symposium, bringing together scientists working in the field of single-molecule super-resolution imaging.

Five TU Delft researchers have been selected to receive an ERC Starting Grant. One of these researchers works at ImPhys. The grant (1,5 million euros for a five-year programme) is intended to support scientists who are in the early stages of their career and have already produced excellent supervised work.

The paper of Boling Ouyang: “Integrated photonics interferometric interrogator for a ring-resonator ultrasound sensor” has been published on Optics Express.

Tian Zhang's paper "A pharmacokinetic model including arrival time for two inputs and compensating for varying applied flip-angle in dynamic gadoxetic acid-enhanced MR imaging" is published in PLOS ONE.
