Awoke Negash joined ImPhys per February 1st as post-doc. He will work on the Bio-Imaging Advanced Microscopy project under supervision of Bernd Rieger.

Célina is a Nanobiology MSc student who will work on her final project under supervision of Jacob Hoogenboom. The goal of her project is to create high-resolution three-dimensional visualizations of the four stages of cell division using the new 64-beam FAST-EM.

Ron Haaksman, geliefd docent natuurkunde-experimenten bij TNW, heeft dit jaar de J.B. Westerdijkprijs gekregen. Ron werd voorgedragen door de Vereniging voor Technische Physica (VvTP), de studievereniging van Technische Natuurkunde, en kreeg de prijs tijdens het Nieuwsjaarsontbijt van de faculteit op maandag 11 januari 2021.

Bram Simons joined ImPhys as MSc student. He will be developing a spike sorting technique, a spike is a potential given by neurons in the brain, which combines the CoSaMP algorithm from compressed sensing with template matching to create an online/real-time spike sorting program which can make the work of neuroscientists a lot easier. His supervisor is Sebastian Weingärtner.
