Qiao-Ling will be doing her master thesis under the supervision of Bernd Rieger. The topic is on estimating the localization and orientation of single molecules in the 4pi microscope setup.

Julie Raude is an applied physics master student. She is starting her master thesis project in the lab of Jacob Hoogenboom with Stijn Karaçoban as daily supervisor. The project is about imaging a sample with higher resolution using an ion beam miller with an electron microscope.

Elise Perton's PhD project will be a collaboration between Jacob Hoogenboom and Arjen Jakobi (Bionanoscience). She will use the integrated fluorescence cryo FIB-SEM (built by Daan Boltje) to investigate GBP proteins, and push towards superresolution light microscopy in this integrated fluorescence cryo FIB-SEM.

Tim Holtgrefe is a nanobiology master student. He started his master thesis in the Brinks lab with Marco Post as his daily supervisor. His project focusses on the discovery of novel voltage-dependent fluorescent rhodopsins.

Arash Tebyani joined the Hoogenboom group as postdoc. He will be studying electron-matter interaction, beam damage, charge diffusion and related topics.

Ilse Bakker isn the ‘new’ research technician and she is working on the CIFIC project in which Erasmus MC and the TU Delft collaborate to research Correlative Light and Electron Microscopy (CLEM).

Koen Martens is a new postdoc in the Rieger group. He will be working on smart, single-molecule microscopy and/or implementing new methods for event-based sensors or neuromorphic cameras.

Anna recently started her PhD with Sjoerd Stallinga and Bernd Rieger, during which she’ll be working on quantum super-resolution microscopy.

Per October 1st, 2024 Henrike Brugts joined ImPhys as department manager. She studied HBO Finance & Logistics in Rotterdam and worked at Gemeente Rotterdam, TNO, Deltares and NWO.

Met een groeiende wereldbevolking van meer dan 8 miljard mensen is voldoende voedsel produceren een uitdaging. Nederland is ‘s werelds tweede exporteur van voedsel en verbouwt enorm efficiënt allerlei gewassen. Plantenziektes zoals valse meeldauw zijn echter een veelvoorkomend probleem dat de oogst van de boer flink kan bederven. Delftse wetenschappers hebben voor het eerst een manier ontwikkeld om de infectie in planten real-time te volgen, zonder de plant te hoeven doden. De hiermee opgedane kennis helpt om nieuwe resistente gewassen te kweken met een hogere opbrengst en minder gebruik van pesticiden. Het onderzoek staat nu in Nature Communications.
