Bridging the gap between physics and chemistry in early stages of star formation
A dense region of a gaseous and dusty cloud collapses to form a protostar surrounded by a disk and an envelope. This thesis uses both observations and models to study physical and chemical conditions of these protostellar systems which are likely where planets start to form.

Een boek voor iedereen en niemand, Nietzsches Zarathoestra lezen
Nietzsches beroemdste en beruchtste boek Aldus sprak Zarathoestra is misschien het meest gelezen, maar waarschijnlijk ook het minst begrepen boek uit Nietzsches oeuvre. Zelf beschouwde hij het als zijn hoogtepunt. Hij noemde het een symfonie, een heilig boek, een vijfde evangelie en zelfs het grootste…

Development of a Kidney-on-a-Chip Model for Compound Screening and Transport Studies
Pharmaceutical companies, governments and the general public have become increasingly aware that animal models used in drug testing lack vital aspects to serve as an accurate representation of human biology. As models of the human body should become more physiologically relevant, animal models no longer…

Focal-plane wavefront sensors for direct exoplanet imaging: Theory, simulations and on-sky demonstrations
One of the key limitations of the direct imaging of exoplanets at small angular separations are quasi-static speckles that originate from evolving non-common path aberrations (NCPA) to which the primary adaptive optics system is inherently blind. The main focus of this thesis is the development and…

Geometry and Topology in Active and Driven Systems
The key characteristic of active matter is the motion of an emergent collection (such as a flock of birds), which is driven by the consumption of energy by its active components (i.e. individual birds).
