The Dutch Research Council (NWO) has awarded nearly three million euros to seven recently appointed researchers in physics and chemistry through the START-UP programme. Both David Maresca and Sebastian Weingärtner have been awarded with a grant

In case you missed the inaugurational speech of Prof Sjoerd Stallinga, the recorded speech 'Zichtbaar/Onzichtbaar' can be watched on collegerama.

His lab will be working on the development of novel methods for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to enable quantitative depiction of pathologies in-vivo.

A collaboration of Sjoerd Stallinga with Stijn Kragt, Davey Hoekstra, Dick Broer and Albert Schenning of TU Eindhoven has led to a paper “3D Helix Engineering in Chiral Photonic Materials” in Advanced Materials.

Paper Freek Pols: "Introducing argumentation in inquiry—a combination of five exemplary activities" published in Physics Education.

Hannah Nijsse successfully completed her Bachelor End Project (BEP) on 10 July 2019. She developed a method for quantifying image sharpness in MR images after FatNav motion correction.

The research team of Koen van Dongen received a grant of € 38.095,00 for their project on “Real-time dose reconstruction for proton therapy based on proton acoustics”. This grant will allow the team to conduct a feasibility study at HollandPTC.

Onderzoekers Nico de Jong (Imaging Physics) en Toeno van der Sar (Quantum Nanoscience) hebben van NWO financiering gekregen binnen het programma van de Nationale Wetenschapsagenda: Onderzoek op Routes door Consortia (NWA-ORC). Beide onderzoekers gaan een interdisciplinair consortium leiden dat zich richt op een bepaalde wetenschappelijke en maatschappelijke uitdaging.

De Executive Council van de Acoustical Society of America heeft Martin Verweij verkozen tot Fellow voor zijn bijdragen aan niet-lineaire medische echografie. De prestigieuze Fellow-titel wordt door academische verenigingen toegekend aan leden die een blijvende invloed hebben gehad op hun wetenschappelijk vakgebied en een belangrijke bijdrage hebben geleverd aan de organisatie van de vereniging.

Reconstructing the phase of a field from intensity measurements is a long-standing and ubiquitous challenge, known as the phase retrieval problem. The new phase reconstruction method by Yifeng Shao, PhD student @ImPhys, overcomes several challenges of conventional iterative CDI algorithms and holographic methods.
