Radiography is an important technique to inspect objects, with applications in airports and hospitals. X-ray imaging is also essential in industry, for instance in food safety checks for the presence of foreign objects.

Sustainable energy from wind and solar is most readily available near the sea.

In multi/many-core System-on-Chips (SoCs), the performance is almost linearly scaling with the number of processing elements.

The redox-conversion reaction of metal-disulfide and metal-thiolate complexes are important, as they may shed light on electron-transfer reactions that often occur in Nature.

In this thesis, we develop a novel technique called Optical Near-field Electron Microscopy (ONEM), which aims to combine the advantages of both optical and electron microscopy: the high resolution of electron microscopy and the low sample damage of optical microscopy.

In the first part of this thesis we study the geometry of folding patterns.

What physics controls the properties of quantum matter, such as how electrons flow inside high-temperature superconductors? This question has captivated the physics community and industry for decades, in part due to the great technological potential such materials have, but also because they have resisted…

This thesis addresses the challenge of sustainable urban development by analyzing the interplay between green and grey infrastructure to optimize resource use and ecosystem services.

This thesis investigates catalytic reactions at the atomic scale using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), with a focus on Fischer–Tropsch synthesis, a key industrial process that converts hydrogen and carbon monoxide into liquid fuels.

S.S. Kolipaka’s thesis questions and investigates the survival prospects of reintroduced tigers and their offspring’s in the human dominated landscape of Panna tiger reserve in India.

Studying the impact of urbanisation on the respiratory health of past Dutch populations (1200-1850 CE).

In surface science there is great effort to move from studying simple, flat model surfaces in vacuum to investigating more complex model catalysts in gas environments (in situ). This thesis gives three examples of such studies using microscopy and spectroscopy.

Electrons in a crystal lattice have properties that may differ from those of a free electron in vacuum.

Microbial rhodopsins are photosensitive pigments implemented in the growth and adaptation of a large population of microorganisms.

Computers worden steeds krachtiger en krijgen steeds ingewikkelder taken. Het Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science (LIACS) doet baanbrekend wetenschappelijk onderzoek en past nieuwe vindingen toe in actuele maatschappelijke vraagstukken.

Hoe kunnen we een balans vinden tussen de soms tegenstrijdige belangen van individuele, publieke en private data-producenten en –verwerkers?

During the development of the (human) body from a single fertilized egg, organs and structures must form. The development and growth of biological forms is called morphogenesis.

Of je nu geïnteresseerd bent in internationaal recht, wereldpolitiek, diversiteit en integratie, gezondheid en het milieu, klimaatverandering en alternatieve energiestrategiëen, besluitvormingsprocessen of maatschappelijke veiligheid, LUC The Hague heeft een afstudeerrichting die bij je past!

The extensive use of electronic communication channels and other devices has opened new possibilities for collecting data on human behavior. This information is sometimes openly accessible, but largely part of administrative registration systems that are not open to the broader public. The data provides…

This thesis focuses on addressing four research problems in designing embedded streaming systems.

Liberal Arts and Sciences: klinkt creatief en ook wetenschappelijk... Is het een combi? In de VS is het een bekend en gangbaar begrip, maar in Europa moeten we er nog een beetje aan wennen. Wat is het, wat kun je ermee, en waarom is het zo populair geworden in Nederland de afgelopen jaren?
