Self-assembly offers a promising route to create complex structures and materials using simple building blocks. Through, colloidal self-assembly, we can understand the governing principles of the self-assembly process and unlock its potential in diverse applications in materials science, photonics and…

In this thesis, we consider various (electro)chemical phenomena at surfaces and nanoparticles and their underlying atomistic processes, which we studied using first-principles methods such as density functional theory.

Most of current public-key cryptography is considered insecure against attacks from sufficiently powerful quantum computers. Post-quantum cryptography studies methods to secure information resistant against such attacks. One proposal is isogeny-based cryptography, which bases its security on computational…

In this thesis, we have studied cell images from two types of cells, including pollen grains and the immune cells, neutrophils. These images are captured using a bright field microscope and a confocal microscope.

Het doel van dit promotieonderzoek was te onderzoeken wat leraren zelf willen leren. De centrale onderzoeksvraag luidde: wat, hoe en waarom willen leraren leren? En hangt dit af van hun jaren leservaring en de school waarin ze werken?

Synthesis and application of chemical biology tools to study immunomodulatory signaling lipids.

De motivatie van studenten van lerarenopleidingen voor het beroep van leraar is afhankelijk van diverse factoren. Lerarenopleidingen kunnen de betrokkenheid van hun studenten beïnvloeden.

Ontwikkeling van effectieve VR-training voor internationaal recht van gewapende conflicten (ILAC)

In this thesis, several aspects of software debugging from automated crash reproduction to bug report analysis and use of contracts have been studied.

In most applications, electrocatalysts exhibit a large surface area to volume ratio, for example using nanoparticles.

Op 21 maart 2019 verdedigde James Welch zijn proefschrift 'The Grotius Sanction: Deus Ex Machina. The legal, ethical, and strategic use of drones in transnational armed conflict and counterterrorism'. Het promotieonderzoek is begeleid door promotor prof. dr. P.B Cliteur.

Op dinsdag 27 september 2016 promoveert Xinyi Gong op haar proefschrift: A Balanced Way for China's Inter-Regional Cross-Border Insolvency Cooperation.

In de afgelopen jaren is het verzamelen en verwerken van tal van gegevens aanzienlijk toegenomen. Met behulp van nieuwe technologieën zoals data mining wordt getracht kennis te halen uit verzamelde gegevens. Vaak wordt gezocht naar profielen die eigenschappen of risico's van bepaalde groepen beschrijven.…

De minor Creative Strategies for a Society in Change (CSSC) legt een verbinding tussen het verkrijgen van inzicht in creatieve maakprocessen en het verkennen van maatschappelijke problematieken die kenmerkend zijn voor onze tijd.

Solar energy harnessed by plants and algae has great potential to be converted into biofuels for future generations.

Consequences for sediment stability and seston trapping

Nowadays, it is well known that hydrogen and helium (and small traces of lithium and beryllium) were created shortly after the Big Bang, while the heavier elements are created in the cores of stars at different evolutionary stages. When these stars explode as supernovae, they expel metals synthesised…

In this thesis I highlight the applications of Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) sequencing. This technique is a relatively new approach in the sequencing field, where nanopores are embedded in a membrane, DNA molecules are pulled through nanopores and an electrical current serving as the sequencing…

Bacteriophages, or phages for short, are the most abundant biological entity in nature. They shape bacterial communities and are a major driving force in bacterial evolution.

Given the accelerating appearance of antimicrobial resistance, there is an urgent need for more fundamental research into novel antibiotic strategies. The work in this thesis helps to address this global problem by developing new antibiotic compounds, inspired by the antibacterial mechanisms of the…

In the past decade many population studies have been performed with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to understand the bulk properties of protoplanetary disks around young stars. These population studies mostly consisted of low mass stars, with relatively few of the disks around…

Microglia support the central and peripheral nervous system by forming the first line of defense against hazardous events. Microglia are increasingly acknowledged as critical players in neurodegenerative diseases, highlighting them as potential therapeutic targets.

In-use stocks of products can be considered as intermediaries between human needs and the physical world.

In this project, researchers from computer science, law, psychology, and public administration research in practice how artificial intelligence (AI) can be leveraged to make decision-making in the security domain more effective, while also keeping it safe and accountable.

A single self-assembled semiconductor quantum dot in a high-finesse optical microcavity - the subject of this thesis - is an interesting quantum-mechanical system for future quantum applications. For instance, this system allows trapping of an extra electron and thus can serve as a spin quantum memory,…

Single-molecule spectroscopy has become a powerful method for using organic fluorescent molecules in numerous applications.

Het Instituut voor Privaatrecht nodigt u van harte uit voor de online presentatie van het boek Legal Pluralism in European Contract Law van hoogleraar Vanessa Mak.

Leiden Law School heeft recent een Memorandum of Understanding getekend met UC Berkeley Extension/UC Berkeley School of Law.

Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is a powerful technique used to visualize the inside of cells and to study specific protein complexes. Within this thesis, I describe the use of various cryo-EM techniques to gain insight into the structural changes of the human pathogen, Vibrio cholerae, as it…

Over several decades, a variety of computational methods for drug discovery have been proposed and applied in practice. With the accumulation of data and the development of machine learning methods, computational drug design methods have gradually shifted to a new paradigm, i.e. deep learning methods…

The emergence of complex diseases resulting from abnormal cell-cell signaling and the spread of infectious diseases caused by pathogens are significant threats to humanity. Unraveling the dynamic mechanisms underlying cell-cell signaling and infectious disease spreading is crucial for effective disease…

As Leiden Law students, we are now in the digital age, 'where we believe law and technology should go together.' After all, for us, it is important to look beyond trodden paths of established legal knowledge. The books on law and case law surely will not be sufficient for the lawyer of the future. That…
