Stefani started her MSc project on: "A consistency study of diffusion statistics at varying MRI field strength - Comparison of model parameters estimated from diffusion weighted MR images acquired with different MRI scanners and protocols".

ImPhys researchers Tom Callewaert and Jeroen Kalkman in collaboration with Joris Dik from 3mE perform OCT imaging at the world famous “Girl with the pearl earring”.

Nicolette Meerstadt is the new Deputy Head of Department for Imaging Physics. She succeeds Liesbeth Secker, who is now Deputy Head of Department at RST.

We would like to welcome a new guest, MSc student Vincent Baas. His supervisors are Jeroen Kalkman and Jelle van der Horst.

Dr. Sjoerd Stallinga has been appointed as interim chairman of the Imaging Physics department (ImPhys) per 1 March 2018.

On February 16, 2018 Joor Arkesteijn successfully defended his PhD thesis on “Application of Sophisticated Models to Conventional Diffusion-Weighted MRI Data”

Mathijs Garming joined ImPhys as a PhD student, working under the supervision of Jacob Hoogenboom. Mathijs will work on ultrafast photon-pump electron-probe microscopy and its application for the investigation of excited state carrier diffusion in 2D and other nanomaterials.

If photonics is to meet the needs of a new generation of applications, problems will need to be addressed through better design and modelling. The EU-funded ADOPSYS project approached this challenge as much with a skills-based answer, as a technical one.
