In 2019 startte LUGO een petitie met het verzoek om een ambitieuze duurzaamheidsvisie voor 2030. Deze petitie is geformuleerd op basis van wat LUGO haalbaar achtte in plaats van op de beperkingen van nu. Wij vinden dat duurzaamheid een van de kernwaarden moet zijn van het volgende centrale beleidsplan…

Ben Wielstra onderzoekt balanced lethal systems, waarin de helft van het nageslacht al voor de geboorte sterft. In vakblad Current Biology legt hij op toegankelijke wijze uit hoe zoiets nadeligs kan ontstaan in de natuur.

We found that, next to the effectiveness of the intervention, it’s also very likely that the intervention is cost-effective compared to attention only.

This workshop aims at fostering and promoting the exchange of ideas on how to edit late antique and early medieval texts (mostly Latin texts, but without excluding possible extensions to the Greek field). Young scholars in particular are encouraged to present case-studies and share the editorial problems…

Systems with local constraints is a new finding in recent researches on complex systems. The heterogeneous spatial interactions and the temporal dependencies among those numerous units make it difficult to describe by traditional statistical physics.

In populations with a seed-bank, individuals can temporarily become dormant and refrain from reproduction until they can become active again. The repository of all dormant individuals in the population is called the seed-bank. Seed-banks are observed in many taxa, including plants, bacteria and other…

Radio jets are important to the evoultion of galaxies. However, it is still not fully understood how a radio jet can be triggered.

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.

This thesis develops a method for direction dependent calibration of the ionosphere in radio interferometric data.
