Computers zijn in staat om ongelooflijk nauwkeurige voorspellingen te doen op basis van machine learning. Met andere woorden, deze computers kunnen zonder tussenkomst leren als ze eenmaal door mensen zijn voorgeprogrammeerd. Bij LIACS verkennen en verleggen we de grenzen van wat een revolutionaire nieuwe…

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…

We use DNA strands to stabilize few-atom silver clusters, which show unique optical and chemical properties. This thesis involves the study of these constructs for various applications.

This thesis is about cosmological inflation and its relation to observations.

Forming at the nodes of the Cosmic Web and growing hierarchically via mass accretion, galaxy clusters are the largest virialized halos in our universe, composed of dark matter (DM; ≥85%), ionized hot plasma in the intracluster medium (ICM; ≥10-15%), and galaxies (≥1-5%).

In this thesis, we developed new ways to use a technique called electroextraction (EE) to extract charged molecules from one liquid into another using an electric field.

Explaining treatment response variability between and within patients can support treatment and dosing optimization, to improve treatment of individual patients.

The ideas underlying this thesis are that lipidomics may improve the diagnosis of liver metabolic diseases, and can provide further insights into the underlying pathophysiology of these diseases.

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

The challenge of achieving fast quantification in metabolomics is the presence of severe matrix effects during the MS analysis of complex samples.

Metabolomics has the potential to play a pivotal role in understanding disease onset and progression, and ultimately personalized treatments. One of its major challenges is its large-scale implementation, which is necessary to deal with the high variability of the metabolome. In this work we have developed…

Metabolomics is a powerful tool that can provide a comprehensive insight into the complexity of human biology and the pathophysiology of diseases. By analyzing the metabolome, which refers to the complete set of small (endogenous) molecules (with a mass <1500 Da) present within a given biological system,…

The study of orchid flowers, fruits, and inflorescences is crucial due to the remarkable diversity of orchid species and their unique adaptations to pollinators and seed dispersers. However, our understanding of the evolution and development of these organs within the orchid family remains limited.
