Dr. Iman Esmael Zadeh, postdoc in the Optics Group, has been invited by Prof. Harry Awater of Caltech to give a talk on Wednesday 5 August in the ACS Photonics Global Webinar about his recent paper.

Iman Zadeh (1st author), Jin Chang (PhD student), Jereon Swens (bachelor student), Yuri Staaden (stagiaire) and Silvania Pereira in collaboration with KTH (Sweden), Tianjin University (China) and Single Quantum have published an article on the development and applications of very efficient single photon detectors with 7.7. ps time resolution.

On August 3rd, 2020 the new online course “Pre-university Physics” will start. The instructors Jeroen Kalkman, Liedewij Laan, Sander Otte and Timon Idema will guide prospective students into the academic approach of physics. The course consists of three modules: mechanics, electricity & magnetism, and waves.

Read about Sebastian Weingärtner, one of the 'Rising Stars' of the Delft Health Initiative. Weingärtner is setting up his own lab at ImPhys. He will focus on MRI physics. For his research at TU Delft, he already got his first grant approved, the NWO start-up grant, which aims to support labs in the basic sciences.

On July 17th, 2020 Boling Ouyang successfully defended his PhD thesis on "Integrated photonics interrogator and sensors for ultrasound detection".

It is common knowledge in optics that, when only tar fields are measured, there is a fundamental limit to the resolution given by the wavelength of the light. Yet research continues to beat this fundamental limit.

DC electrified light rail or tram systems cause low frequency magnetic fields that may disturb scientific and medical instruments in their environment. A concept was developed that significantly reduces these magnetic fields.

On June 24, 2020 Yan Guo successfully defended her PhD thesis on "Image quality assessment and image fusion for electron tomography".

This research was carried out in cooperation with pathologists from Erasmus MC and Leiden University MC, and reports on new ways to image tissues in 3D, using a slide scanner that can scan multiple focal layers in a single scan. The images were acquired on a research prototype of such a scanner of Philips Digital & Computational Pathology.

Freek Pols published a paper in the Electronic Journal for Research in Science & Mathematics Education. In this practitioner contribution, he elaborates on how the first-year lab course was adapted to the COVID-19 measures.
