Myrthe will be working on Ultrasound Localization Microscopy (ULM), supervised by David Maresca and Baptiste Heiles. As a Systems & Control student, she hopes to apply her knowledge on estimation, filtering and optimization to improve the tracking of microbubbles in ULM.

Microscopy is inextricably linked to Delft thanks to Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, who was the first to discover cells and microbiological structures with his self-built microscopes in the 17th century. A tradition microscope builder Delmic has been continuing since 2010 with innovative microscope technology. TU Delft Campus interviewed Jacob Hoogenboom of TU Delft who was involved in this innovative company early on and still works closely together with the company.

Nanda Bloom has just started her Master End Project within the Jena-TUD graduate school. The project is aimed at investigating the applicability of stochastic resonators for micro-optical spectrometer arrays.

Amber Heijdra is currently doing the master Biomedical Engineering at TU Delft. For her master thesis she will focus on predicting sarcomere mutations using radiomics at the Biomedical Imaging Group Rotterdam.

Freek Pols published an article: The sound of music: determining Young's modulus using a guitar string in the journal Physics Education, a journal meant for physics teachers at various educational levels.

On Friday 26th of March, 14 pre-University students finished the pre-University on Campus Track. Freek Pols designed and taught one of the tracks. The students learned about data-analysis and error propagation, devised and conducted an experiment. They concluded the track with a presentation on their results.

Onderzoekers van de TU Delft hebben een slimme truc bedacht om het maken van afbeeldingen met een elektronenmicroscoop tot een factor twintig te versnellen. Het gaat om een simpele aanpassing: het aanbrengen van een voltage op de houder van het preparaat. Deze eenvoudige ingreep zorgt ervoor dat een preparaat waar de elektronenmicroscoop normaal gesproken een week voor nodig heeft om geheel af te beelden, nu in een nacht of een werkdag kan worden opgenomen.

The project proposal POLight (Pushing bOundaries of nanometrology by Light) coordinated by Omar El Gawhary has been selected for funding. The project, a collaboration among 15 partners in Europe, is expected to start in June 2021 and will receive 1.8M€ direct funding from the EU and around 1M€ of national funding from the different participating countries.

Een internationaal team wetenschappers, waaronder ImPhys-onderzoeker David Maresca, heeft vandaag een artikel gepubliceerd in Neuron waarin ze de decodering van bewegingsintenties in de hersenen met ultrasone golven aantonen. De resultaten zijn veelbelovend voor de ontwikkeling van minder invasieve brein-machine interfaces.

Former ImPhys BEP student Dino Mocking has received a DIA stipend from the Germany Institute at the University of Amsterdam. With the stipend, Dino will continue his studies at the Technical University in Munich, Germany where he will follow the MSc Applied and Engineering Physics.
