Heterogeneous catalyzed processes are highly significant to the chemical industry. Dissociative chemisorption (DC) of molecules on surfaces is always considered as a step with a high degree of rate control for heterogeneous catalysis.

This thesis describes the Multi-site All-Sky CAmeRA (MASCARA), which consists of two small robotic telescope designed to detect exoplanets around the brightest stars in the sky.

The thesis introduces three methods for high-dimensional prediction problems in the biomedical field. The methods make use of empirical and variational Bayes in the estimation.

Hoe worden nachtruimtes verbeeld, geproduceerd, ervaren en verteld door migrantengemeenschappen in Europa? Dit onderzoeksproject onderzoekt deze vraag in acht Europese steden: Aarhus, Amsterdam, Berlijn, Cork, Galway, Lissabon, Londen en Rotterdam.

The upscaling of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data is recognized as one of the main challenges in the ex-ante LCA of emerging technologies. This challenge arises since industrial-scale system specifications for these technologies are unknown and industrial data is lacking.

We present an extensive study of methods for exactly solving stochastic constraint (optimisation) problems (SCPs) in network analysis. These problems are prevalent in science, governance and industry.

In 2009-2010 ontstond in het westerse discours het idee van een meer ‘assertief’ China, een opvatting die China krachtig van de hand wijst. Niettemin is, vooral sinds Xi Jinping in 2012 aan de macht kwam, duidelijk dat China zijn lang gehanteerde buitenlandse beleidsdoctrine van ‘een lage profilering…

Circumstellar discs are the reservoirs of gas and dust that surround young stars and have the potential to become planetary systems.

Metals surfaces form a group of effective catalysts for the reaction of small molecules such as hydrogen (H2).

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

Over several decades, a variety of computational methods for drug discovery have been proposed and applied in practice. With the accumulation of data and the development of machine learning methods, computational drug design methods have gradually shifted to a new paradigm, i.e. deep learning methods…

Tot nog toe was van de Indische schrijfster Dé-Lilah, pseudoniem van Lucy van Renesse-Johnston, slechts één foto bekend. Onlangs vonden onderzoekers Rick Honings, Nick Tomberge en Olf Praamstra – verbonden aan het Leiden University Centre for the Arts in Society (LUCAS) – in de Leidse Digital Collections…

In this thesis, bioorthogonal chemistry is combined with correlative light-electron microscopy to selectively label and study pathogenic intracellular bacteria within the host immune cell.

From the 1920s on, popular music in Southeast Asia was a mass-audience phenomenon that drew new connections between indigenous musical styles and contemporary genres from elsewhere to create new, hybrid forms. This book presents a cultural history of modern Southeast Asia from the vantage point of popular…

JUSTREMIT en het Institute of Security and Global Affairs van de Universiteit Leiden organiseren op 12 en 13 oktober een conferentie over Global Regulatory Regimes and Remittances. Academici, mensen die werken binnen de regelgevingssector en vertegenwoordigers van internationale financiële instellingen…

n this thesis we study curves. In the first half, we study moduli spaces of curves and Gromov-Witten invariants, certain kinds of curves counts. We employ logarithmic geometry for this.

The 2025 Data for Policy conference at Leiden University explored how digital and green transitions can shape a more sustainable and inclusive future.

The intradermal administration route is attractive for vaccine delivery, because of the highly populated antigen-presenting cells in the skin. However, the skin’s main physical barrier, the stratum corneum, prevents vaccines from entering the skin.

In dit artikel onderzoekt Barrie Sander, universitair docent internationaal recht, vanuit een narratief-theoretisch perspectief hoe veiligheid wordt geconstrueerd, betwist en beschreven binnen drie EU-regelgevingskaders op het snijvlak van klimaat- en AI-governance: de wet inzake kritieke grondstoffen,…

Natural vanilla flavor is one of the most important in the world. However, the cost of this flavor is expensive. Production of this flavor by alternative methods, could reduce the cost.

Effective policy-making requires understanding what truly causes a problem. Only then can policymakers develop targeted interventions that achieve desired outcomes.

Denk je aan geesteswetenschappen, denk je misschien niet meteen aan een nieuwe superserver. Toch is die inmiddels net in gebruik genomen. Universitair docent Jelena Prokic van het Centre for Digital Humanities vertelt meer over deze ontwikkeling.

Why do sexual violence policies still fail to systematically address men and masculinities, when the need for cultural change among men has been central in public debates since #MeToo?

This dissertation focused on computational methods based on first principles calculations using the Density Functional Theory (DFT) framework. Emphasis was laid on affordable methods that can provide a tradeoff between computational expense and accuracy.

This thesis provides an overview of the development of the Pair Configuration to Molecular Activity Coefficient (PAC-MAC) model.

The thesis focuses on synthesis strategies in oligosaccharide campaigns, and the influence of protecting groups.

The idea of citizens and public professionals collaborating to provide public services has widely spread in several countries around the globe. Co-production is often presented as the go-to solution for challenges like a legitimacy crisis of both the government and the market, and financial concerns.…

The dissertation offers new tools and insights to computation and modelling of topological phases, with an emphasis on the aperiodic setting.
