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!

De European Research Council (ERC) heeft een Starting Grant aan de Delftse natuurkundige Sebastian Weingärtner toegekend voor zijn onderzoek naar vernieuwende beeldvormingstechnieken om hart- en hersenziekten tegen te gaan.

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.

Op de afgelopen Education Day is Freek Pols benoemd tot een van de TUD Education Fellows: De Delft Education Fellowship erkent en waardeert de inzet van docenten voor onderwijsinnovatie en stimuleert de impact van onderwijs-vernieuwing en -ontwikkeling. Freek's project, The road to scientific inquiry “Transforming lab courses” getiteld, is gericht op de samenwerking tussen de vier onderwijsprogramma's van onze faculteit met betrekking tot de inleidende practica.

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.

Lex Herrmann will investigate the affects on ultrashort laser pulses that create acoustic pulses inside metals. Together with the known literature, he will try to link theoretical predictions of the shape of the pulse inside the metal with the experimental measurements using interferometry. He will be supervised by Koen van Dongen.

Nuno is doing an Erasmus exchange program from Portugal for the next 6 months. His background is in Applied Physics and he is currently doing his Master's degree in the University of Porto. While in Delft, he will be doing a research project on neural network based parametric mapping under Dr. Qian’s supervision.
