The conference addressed phase information in imaging with topics such as lensless imaging, phase retrieval, adaptive and active optics, ptychography, holography, tomography. We also had the honour to have 14 invited speakers from all over the world and many oral and poster presentations. The conference attracted about 100 participants from the Netherlands and from abroad.

Selina Teurlings joined ImPhys as Biolab Technician. She has a bachelor in Applied Biology and a master in Animal Sciences. Selina has worked for 2 years at the Van Woerden lab (Erasmus MC) on the role of CAMK2A in ischemia as well as the role of CAMK2 in neurodevelopment and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Sven Weerdenburg made a photo of our high harmonic generation EUV light source which has made it to the 2nd place of Optica (OSA) 'Photo of the Year' contest!

The European Research Council (ERC) has awarded a Starting Grant to Delft physicist Sebastian Weingärtner for his research on novel imaging methods to tackle heart and brain diseases.

From 9 to 11 November the SPIE student chapter of Delft organized a 2.5-day school of physics at the university. Several (international) speakers were invited to give lectures to PhD students and others on topics ranging from mathematical physics to imaging without lenses.

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.
