Op 5 september 2019 verdedigde Jennifer Doekhie haar proefschrift 'Dimensions of desistance: A qualitative longitudinal analysis of different dimensions of the desistance process among long-term prisoners in the Netherlands'. Het promotieonderzoek is begeleid door promotor prof.dr. P. Nieuwbeerta.

Novel entities may pose risks to humans and the environment. The small particle size and relatively large surface area of micro- and nanoparticles (MNPs) make them capable of adsorbing other novel entities, leading to the formation of aggregated contamination.

In this thesis we explore machine and deep learning approaches that address keychallenges in high dimensional problem areas and also in improving accuracy in wellknown problems. In high dimensional contexts, we have focused on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations.

Als gevolg van de grote technologische vooruitgang in de gezondheidszorg worden in toenemende mate gegevens verzameld tijdens de uitvoering van klinische onderzoeken.

This dissertation explores how Large Language Models (LLMs) can effectively and responsibly contribute to complex decision-making processes. By combining AI and human intelligence, Hybrid Intelligence (HI) emerges, allowing the strengths of both humans and machines to be utilized.

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…

The Economics and Governance specialisation of the Master in Public Administration teaches you to formulate problem-solving approaches to concrete policy issues found at the intersection between economics and public administration. This specialisation is a unique joint offering of the Department of…

Quantum computing represents a fundamentally new computational paradigm, capable of addressing problems that are intractable for classical computers.

Ivo Wolsing (Leiden), Jacqueline Burek (George Mason University) and Lottie Thompson (Durham) are organizing a panel on Classical Learning in Medieval Europe at Leeds International Medieval Congress 2025. You are invited to submit an abstract by September 15.

This thesis studies operator-algebraic aspects of subproduct systems, a generalization of product systems of Hilbert spaces.

Dit proefschrift omvat vier deelstudies naar de inhoud en structuur van de opvattingssystemen van natuurkundedocenten over het leren en onderwijzen van natuurkunde in het voortgezet onderwijs (VO) in Nederland.

Plants and soils from natural ecosystems harbor great diversity of soil microorganisms, which could potentially contribute to the sustainability of horticulture. The knowledge about using wild plant species and soil from natural ecosystem to improve the crop health will advance the application of ecological…

Uncertainty and noise are frequently-encountered obstacles in real-world applications of numerical optimization. The practice of optimization that deals with uncertainties and noise is commonly referred to as robust optimization.

Het merendeel van de wetenschappers, van archeologen tot zoölogen, verzamelt enorme hoeveelheden gegevens. Hun databanken bevatten grote hoeveelheden informatie die voor de mens moeilijk te filteren zijn. Met een stevige basis in de statistiek en de computerwetenschappen kunnen we algoritmes ontwikkelen…

Teaching the Future: AI-Enhanced Education for Student Engagement and Ethical Learning.

Optimally solving real-world expensive Black-Box Optimization (BBO) problems w.r.t. real-world constraints, such as wall-clock time and computational costs, is extremely difficult and tedious.

The expanding population and economic activity are driving up global energy consumption. Simultaneously, there is an urgent need to transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources to mitigate the climate crisis, primarily caused by fossil fuel combustion.

To limit the effects of climate change, global average temperature since pre-industrial measurements are to be kept well below 2 °C preferably even at 1.5 °C.

Viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF) is a group of acute diseases caused by highly infectious viruses including Ebola, Lassa, Dengue viruses. Its high mortality rate poses high risk to public health, however, studies on VHF have been hampered due to the non-availability of proper models and incomplete knowledge…

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.

Op 11 en 18 juni organiseert het Centre for Professional Learning (CPL) voor het eerst een twee-daagse online masterclass: De nieuwe Public Affairs Professional - de effectieve beïnvloeder in post-coronatijd. De masterclass wordt eigenlijk twee keer per jaar in Den Haag gegeven, maar is deze editie…

In this thesis, topics relating to the optimization of high-throughput pipelines used for imaging are discussed. In particular, different levels of implementation, i.e., conceptual, software, and hardware, are discussed and the thesis outlines how advances on each level need to be made to make gains…

Classical statistical methods, such as p-values, are difficult for researchers to apply correctly. They for example do not allow drawing conclusions from a study early, or for extending a study with extra research groups that want to make their data available later.

Quantum hardware comes with a different computing paradigm and new ways to tackle applications. Much effort has to be put into understanding how to leverage this technology to give real-world advantages in areas of interest for industries such as combinatorial optimization or machine learning.

Onderzoek vindt plaats binnen drie onderzoekscholen: Azië, Midden-Oosten en Religiestudies. Hierbinnen richten we ons op specifieke regio’s en onderwerpen zoals talen en culturen, erfgoed, en de menselijke digitale wereld.

Het onderwijsteam achter The Learning Mindset (TLM) van het Leiden University College heeft 800.000 euro gewonnen tijdens de uitreiking van de Nederlandse Hogeronderwijspremie 2022. Het team eindigde als tweede achter het team van Universiteit Twente. De prijs wordt jaarlijks uitgereikt tijdens het…
