Co Kadijk will be doing his thesis project on Focusing functions for photoacoustic imaging, to account for strong reflectors in the medium without artifacts, with the guidance of Koen van Dongen and Joost van der Neut.

Dr Jacob Hoogenboom has been appointed chair of the Department of Imaging Physics (ImPhys) effective from 1 June 2024. Jacob Hoogenboom is currently an associate professor with the department of ImPhys, whose research group develops new microscopic methods, techniques and instruments. Since 2008, Jacob has been working on integrated microscopy, which centres around the combination of electron and light microscopy. Jacob’s research also explores techniques to make simpler and cheaper components for electron microscopes. His research has led to the launch of spin-off Delmic, which has brought innovations from Jacob's lab into practice.

Boyd Peters is a Nanobiology MSc student and he joined the lab of Hylkje Geertsema for his thesis project. The main goal of this project is to establish an expansion microscopy protocol and utilize it to reveal the organization of the nuclear lamins and several other proteins.

Hanna Post has joined the MARS lab for her Msc project. She will work on B1+ mapping and adiabatic pulses under supervision of Masa Bozic-Iven.

Stijn Karaçoban joined ImPhys as PhD student. He will work in the Hoogenboom lab to work with electron microscopy.

Convergence Relay episode 3 features Jacob Hoogenboom. He is one of the drivers of the CIFIC flagship. ‘We want to accelerate the availability of new techniques to medical scientists.’

A helium balloon lifted a set of terahertz sensors, developed in a TU Delft lab, to the edge of space on New Year’s Eve. These are the cameras for the Gusto mission that will map material in between stars.

Yiming Liu will work on the topic of Digital Pathology in 3D. Together with Prof. Dr. Sjoerd Stallinga’s group and the cooperation & support of experts from Philips, they will try to improve the performance of the current setup in algorithms and architectures.

Sarnia Fazlali joined ImPhys as a Postdoc. She will work on the simulation, (micro) fabrication, and (experimental) analysis, of MEMS electron optical elements/ devices for electron microscopy applications under supervision of Jacob Hoogenboom.

Lise Estournet is a master student studying physical-chemistry at Paris-Saclay University in France. She will be joining the lab of Jacob Hoogenboom for a six-month internship to assess charging and damage in a sample during electron beam exposure.
