Arnica will work on “Lab-on-a chip Raman spectroscopy for Raman spectroscopy of optically trapped bacteria and microvesicles”. Her supervisor is Jaap Caro

The Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) has announced which new research programmes may start in the so-called 'Perspective for the Top Sectors' programme. A total of six public-private programmes will receive about 28 million euros. The project is about achieving higher resolution and sensitivity in optical devices.

The Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) has announced which new research programmes may start in the so-called 'Perspective for the Top Sectors' programme. A total of six public-private programmes will receive about 28 million euros. The project is about better diagnoses of dangerous vascular problems using a new ultrasound technique.

Tomorrow, Thursday November 15th at 21:25 Mike Rijnierse's Sound Shadeswill be broadcasted on NPO TV (Dutch TV) program "Voor de Vorm". Sound Shades is a project developed during his residency at TU-Delft (Crossing Parallels). In collaboration with physicist Aurèle Adam, assistant professor at Optics TU-Delft, Rijnierse is working on pair of glasses that can change color according to any input data. At the moment he is focusing on parameters of sound to conduct the color changes and play with the viewer's perception.

To strengthen the collaboration between Imphys and Erasmus MC, Daan Brinks has accepted a zero-hour position as principal investigator in the Molecular genetics department of Erasmus starting November 15.

Lauryna Šiaudinytė joined our group as Post-Doc. She will work on "Coherent Fourier scatterometry for reconstruction of subwavelength features of printed nanostructures". Her supervisor is Silvania Pereira.

Leo Hoogerbrugge started 1 November as a PhD student within the Delphi Consortium project. He will focus on the theoretical aspects of the seismic inversion framework that is currently used within Delphi and make extensions to heterogeneous media and including elastic effects. His supervisor is Eric Verschuur.

The Executive Board has appointed Sjoerd as professor. Sjoerd Stallinga is Head of Department at Imaging Physics. He works on computational imaging, which lies on the intersection of optics and image analysis, and applies it within the field of super-resolution microscopy.

Prof. Bernd Rieger joined Legatus Delft, a network which consists of 66 professors from the TU Delft. Aim of the network is to promote Delft as a city for organizing scientific conferences. Legatus does this in cooperation with the Delft Convention Center. Since the establishment in 2012 they already managed to get 100 conferences to Delft, which represents a revenue of roughly 26 million Euro (ICCA).

Fluorescence decay dynamics inside opaque, metal-coated nanocavities can be spatially resolved using excitation with a focused pulsed electron beam. The cover illustrates the launching of the electron pulses, their penetration of the metal coating, and their subsequent nanoscale excitation of embedded gain medium inside the cavity. As a consequence, the gain medium luminesces with a decay rate that depends strongly on the precise location inside and size of the cavity.
