A collaboration of Sjoerd Stallinga with Stijn Kragt, Davey Hoekstra, Dick Broer and Albert Schenning of TU Eindhoven has led to a paper “3D Helix Engineering in Chiral Photonic Materials” in Advanced Materials.

Paper Freek Pols: "Introducing argumentation in inquiry—a combination of five exemplary activities" published in Physics Education.

Hannah Nijsse successfully completed her Bachelor End Project (BEP) on 10 July 2019. She developed a method for quantifying image sharpness in MR images after FatNav motion correction.

The research team of Koen van Dongen received a grant of € 38.095,00 for their project on “Real-time dose reconstruction for proton therapy based on proton acoustics”. This grant will allow the team to conduct a feasibility study at HollandPTC.

Researchers Nico de Jong (Imaging Physics) and Toeno van der Sar (Quantum Nanoscience) have received funding from NWO within the National Science Agenda programme: Research on Routes by Consortia (NWA-ORC). Both researchers will lead an interdisciplinary consortium that focuses on a particular scientific and societal challenge.

The Executive Council of the Acoustical Society of America has elected Martin Verweij as Fellow for his contributions to nonlinear medical ultrasound. The prestigious Fellow title is granted by academic societies to members who have made an enduring impact on their scientific field and a significant contribution to the organization of the society.

Reconstructing the phase of a field from intensity measurements is a long-standing and ubiquitous challenge, known as the phase retrieval problem. The new phase reconstruction method by Yifeng Shao, PhD student @ImPhys, overcomes several challenges of conventional iterative CDI algorithms and holographic methods.

On May 17th, 2019 Jeroen Heldens successfuly defended his PhD thesis on "Raman based identification of on-chip trapped single micro-organisms".

Christiano Glessi is a PhD student, on a secondment from Oslo University, as part of the ELENA Marie Curie programme. He is working on tests of novel precursors for electron beam induced processing. Christiano collaborates with Aya Mahgoub and is supervised by Kees Hagen.

Joseph Braat, a former professor of optics in the ImPhys department, has finally wrapped up his contribution to the book Imaging Optics. The book was officially published in print by Cambridge University Press on the 2nd of May 2019. In the accompanying text, you can read about his book-writing Odyssey of 10 years.
