Detecting nanoscopic objects plays an important role in nanoscience in particular, in the rapidly growing field of nanobiology. The forebear to modern super-resolution microscopy for single molecule investigation, is fluorescence microscopy.

This Thesis describes the design, synthesis and evaluation as glycoprocessing enzyme inhibitors of focused libraries of iminosugars.

Dit op casestudies gebaseerde Engelstalige boek over multivariate analyse voor gevorderde studenten in de geesteswetenschappen legt de nadruk op beschrijvende, exploratieve analyses van verschillende soorten datasets uit een breed scala van subdisciplines, waarbij het gebruik van multivariate analyse…

This thesis provides explicit expressions for the density functions of absolutely continuous invariant measures for general families of interval maps, that include random maps and infinite measure transformations, not necessarily number systems.

The idea of citizens and public professionals collaborating to provide public services has widely spread in several countries around the globe. Co-production is often presented as the go-to solution for challenges like a legitimacy crisis of both the government and the market, and financial concerns.…

Transport inspectorates are looking for novel methods to identify dangerous behavior, ultimately to reduce risks associated to the movements of people and goods. We explore a data-driven approach to arrive at smart inspections of vehicles.

This thesis describes the antimicrobial discovery strategy developed in our group, the den Hertog Group at the Hubrecht Institute. It includes a cultivation-based screening approach for novel antimicrobial agents from the source of fungi, and a bacterial time-lapse imaging approach for antimicrobial…

In this dissertation, we work towards an experiment in which we aim to bring a micrometer sized magnet at the tip of a soft cantilever into a superposition.

This thesis studies operator-algebraic aspects of subproduct systems, a generalization of product systems of Hilbert spaces.

De maand november stond in 2019 in het teken van open onderwijs. Docenten en medewerkers konden in die maand colleges bijwonen en good en new practices zien. Ter afsluiting kregen docenten feedback op hun colleges van een collega-expert of peer.

Veel vraagstukken van onze tijd zijn te complex om vanuit één wetenschapsgebied op te kunnen lossen. De Universiteit Leiden is een brede universiteit waar ongelofelijk veel onderzoeksvelden samenkomen. Daarom zijn we bij uitstek geschikt als broedplaats en beoefenaar van interdisciplinair onderzoek…

De programmagroep Leer- en Gedragsproblemen in het Onderwijs is gevestigd in de Faculteit der Sociale Wetenschappen van de Universiteit Leiden achter Centraal Station in Leiden.

De universiteit streeft ernaar dat alle studenten in hun opleiding kennismaken met duurzaamheidsthema’s en -vraagstukken, die zoveel mogelijk aansluiten bij de inhoud van hun opleiding.

Universiteit Leiden biedt bachelor studenten kansen om hun keuzeruimte in te vullen. En daarmee de opleiding te verbreden of te verdiepen.

Learning a programming language is challenging. Even one of the first –but crucial– concepts to learn, variables, is hard to grasp. Variables can represent different roles and functions within a code and need to be named appropriately to support code comprehension and debugging.

The expanding population and economic activity are driving up global energy consumption. Simultaneously, there is an urgent need to transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources to mitigate the climate crisis, primarily caused by fossil fuel combustion.

During embryonic growth, cells proliferate, differentiate, and collectively migrate to form different tissues at the right position and time in the body.

On the largest scale, the Universe resembles a cosmic spiderweb. Most galaxies coexist in small groups within the threads of this web. At the nodes of the threads are enormous groups of galaxies forming the largest structures in the universe still held together by gravity: clusters of galaxies.

In this work, I explore the creation of new methods that optimize simulations of the gravitational N-body problem. Specifically, I take advantage of the recent popularity of Machine Learning methods to find tools that can suit this problem.
