Een stapsgewijze aanpak voor het opbouwen van zelfvertrouwen bij jonge kinderen die angstig zijn.

Even though more than 4000 extra-solar planets are known today, only a small fraction of these has been captured in an image. To better understand the planet formation mechanisms in solar-like environments we started the Young Suns Exoplanet Survey (YSES).

Heterogeneous catalysis is essential to many industrial applications. These catalysts are often comprised of supported nanoparticles, which contain various different surface sites.

The research presented in this thesis makes use of small molecules (as H2 , D2 and O2 ) on well-defined single crystal surfaces (flat Pt(111), flat Cu(211) and curved Pt(111)) to elucidate the role of surface structure and degrees of freedom in the reactant in specific surface reactions.

Hydrogen fuel cells are expected to be pivotal in the energetic transition towards renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power. However, their industrial scalability is severely hindered by the high cost and degradation rate of platinum catalysts, one of their key components. Addressing this…

Hoogleraar Rechtssociologie Maartje van der Woude (Van Vollenhoven Instituut, Metajuridica) is met ingang van heden voor een periode van 3 jaar aangesteld als visiting professor bij het Department of Criminology & Sociology of Law van de Universiteit van Oslo in Noorwegen.

Technologies that help to enhance our educational environments can be found everywhere.

In de zomerpodcast 'Lab Leven' zoekt de Universiteit van Nederland wetenschappers op in hun vertrouwde habitat: het laboratorium. Hier vertellen de onderzoekers alles over de laatste ins en outs van hun experimenten. Want, wat doen ze nou de hele dag in zo'n lab? In de tweede aflevering is presentatrice…

Almost three years after receiving her honorary doctorate, Dr Graça Machel returned to Leiden University. Over the course of two days she spoke with students, researchers, and other interested persons, about human rights – particularly those of women and children – in a world in which these are continually…

In this Yearbook you will find some fascinating examples of what was done in 2021, not only by ourselves, but also by our international colleagues.

In this thesis, deep learning is studied from a statistical perspective. Convergence rates for the worst case risk bounds of neural network estimators are obtained in the classification, density estimation and linear regression model.

In this thesis, we study different curved single crystals because of the diversity of surface structures across their curvature.

The focus throughout this thesis will be on gathering fundamental studies of the detailed structure and composition of the electrode/electrolyte interface effect on the rate and mechanism of key electrocatalytic reactions.

The endocannabinoid receptors CB1R and CB2R are involved in a plethora of processes, and consequently are involved in many pathological conditions. Their wide distribution makes the CBRs both an interesting therapeutic target and hard to study.

Time-series forecasting through modelling sequences of temporally dependent observations has many industrial and scientific applications. While machine learning models have been widely used to create time-series forecasting models, creating efficient and performant time-series forecasting models is…

In de afgelopen jaren hebben er veel verschillende mensen meegewerkt aan de projecten binnen de Dappere Kleintjes onderzoekslijn. Zie hieronder een overzicht van onze alumni.

Over the past two centuries, socioeconomic development has improved material living standards but has also intensified environmental pressures, including climate change and biodiversity loss.

In this thesis chemical and physical processes in the ice mantles on interstellar dust grains are studied.

Reinforcement learning is a framework that enables agents to learn in a manner similar to humans, i.e. through trial and error. Ideally, we would like to train a generalist agent capable of performing multiple tasks and achieving various goals.

This thesis comprises the development of reproducible synthesis procedures for two-dimensional materials (composed of boron, nitrogen and carbon) on different metallic surfaces.
