As a result of the collaboration with Naturalis, University of Leiden and Utrecht we published a paper "Quantifcation of bone surface textures: exploring a new method of ontogenetic ageing"

Every year on the second Tuesday of December, the city center of Delft changes into a Christmas market decorated with lights. The event is initiated by the lighting of the Christmas tree in the market square, an event named 'Lichtjesavond' or, loosely translated, 'Night of Lights'. During this event, a market stand was dedicated to show demonstrations of light phenomena to the general public, which was a collaboration of the Optics Research Cluster and the Optics Chapter Delft. A series of scientific demonstrations was presented, related to optics and light phenomena, aimed at children, parents, and general passersby.

Luuk Pels will do research on the characterization of hot pixels of cameras using just a single image. His supervisors are Bernd Rieger and Sjoerd Stallinga.

Recently Spozmai Panezai has joined ImPhys/Rieger group to work on 4pi cryo microscopy at department of Imaging Physics at TU Delft, Netherlands. Her research interest is Light Microscopy, Digital holography, Optical Coherence Tomography and Adaptive Optics.

In October Gabrielle started as Postdoc in the ultrasound team. She will be studying ultrasound imaging of bones and of the intraosseous blood flow. Her supervisor is Guillaume Renaud.

Last October, the IEEE-UFFC-S special-topic school on Waves and Transducers took place at Delft University and chaired by Koen W.A. van Dongen from Delft University of Technology. The school was attended by 32 participants from academia and industry who all shared a common interest in ultrasound technology.

On Monday 13 November, a delegation from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) visited TU Delft. The philanthropic organisation presented how they are supporting biomedical scientific research to a group of Delft researchers.

Do you know who Antoni van Leeuwenhoek was? And what kind of little creatures live in water? During Science Day 2023, 4,000 enthusiastic visitors discovered who Antoni was and what influence he had on our daily lives.

Na een lange reis met veel tussenstops is ballontelescoop Gusto op per vliegtuig aangekomen op Antarctica. De lancering staat gepland voor 15 december 2023. Gusto is uitgerust met drie 8-pixel ver-infrarood camera’s, geleverd door SRON en TU Delft. De telescoop gaat de eerste grote-schaal survey uitvoeren van drie elementen binnen stofwolken tussen de sterren, inclusief hun snelheid.

Gijs started his master endproject at the KalkmanLab. His thesis is about investigating aberrations in Optical Diffraction Tomography and further developing iterative numerical methods for solving multiple scattering problems.
