Jim Aspers started his MSc project on "High Volume Rate 3D Compressed Ultrasound Imaging Using a Programmable Transducer Array". His supervisors are Martin Verweij and Fabian Fool.

Joanne will investigate whether and how the reflections of the second harmonic of an ultrasound field can be used for medical model based imaging. The second harmonic is the first of a whole series of higher harmonics that are generated during the nonlinear propagation of a high-amplitude ultrasound pulse as used in medical imaging. Her supervisors are Martin Verweij and Jack Massaad.

Onderzoeker Maysam Shabanimotlagh heeft belangrijke verbeteringen in het meten met ultrageluid dichter bij gebracht.

Claudio is a master student in Life Sciences at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland. The ultimate goal of this master project is to achieve transcranial ultrasound image quality sufficient to reliably differentiate various anatomical structures in intact human brain as well as the location of the deep brain stimulation electrodes in respect to those anatomical structures (e.g. subthalamic nucleus). His supervisor is Verya Daeichin.

Delft Bioengineering Institute has granted Elizabeth Carroll with €2500 for the execution of an interdisciplinary MSc project. Together with Zoltán Perkό (Radiation Science & Technology), Elizabeth has designed a project that looks into ultrahigh dose-rate FLASH irradiation in zebrafish. In total, BEI has granted 15 MSc projects that resulted from the networking event BioDate 2018 in March.

The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research, NWO , has awarded almost 3 million euros to seven recently appointed principal investigators in physics and chemistry. One of the laureates of these so-called ‘START-UP’ grants is Daan Brinks.

The EOS biennial Meeting will be held in Delft from 8-12 October, where the latest results in optics and photonics research will be presented. Netherlands is the hot spot for photonics in Europe and the strong optics research and industry in Delft makes it a perfect location to hold the upcoming symposium.

NWO heeft de Veni-laureaten voor 2018 bekendgemaakt. Daaronder zijn vier wetenschappers van de faculteit Technische Natuurwetenschappen: Jeremy Brown (RST), Zoltán Perkó (RST), Georgy Filonenko (ChemE) en Carlas Smith (ImPhys). De Veni’s zijn bedoeld om gepromoveerde onderzoekers gedurende drie jaar hun ideeën verder te laten ontwikkelen.

We welcome Erasmus student Andrei Stefancu, Medical Physics student from Babes-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Romania. During his summer research internship he will work on optical tomographic imaging of tissue biopsies. His supervisors are Jos van Rooij and Jeroen Kalkman.
