De onderzoeksgroep Business, Technology & Public Policy van de afdeling Bedrijfswetenschappen van Universiteit leiden houdt zich bezig met het onderzoeken van de dynamische wisselwerking tussen ‘nieuwe’ technologieën en de verschillende belanghebbenden die hiermee interacteren, waaronder consumenten,…

The formation of stars and planets happens over multiple scales, which can interact. In particular, planet formation happens in the dense, complex environment of star forming regions.

Op 21 september gaf Magdalena Jozwiak, onderzoeker bij eLaw - Centrum voor Recht en Digitale Technologie, een presentatie over het e-SIDES project tijdens een ILS Lunch Seminar.

In this thesis, we examine various systems through the lens of several numerical methods.

Onderzoekreeks van de Afdeling Economie van de Universiteit Leiden op het raakvlak van economie en recht.

The global agri-food system plays a critical role in food security and environmental issues.

Promotores: G.A. Persoon, H.H. de Iongh

Glucocorticoids (GCs) are widely prescribed as anti-inflammatory drugs due to their well-established immunosuppressive effects.

Artificial photosynthesis has recognised potential to produce green and sustainable fuels from earth-abundant resources such as water, carbon dioxide (CO2), and sunlight.

Op vrijdag 24 maart gaf prof: Amanda Perry-Kessaris (Kent Law School) een korte workshop over data visualisation voor de promovendi van de afdeling Economie. Tijdens deze workshop werden de promovendi uitgedaagd om door middel van LEGO hun onderzoek te visualiseren. Amanda Perry-Kessaris gaf daarna…

Op vrijdag 24 februari zal Prof. Judith Masson (Bristol University), Hoogleraar Rechtssociologie en Fellow bij the UK Academy of Social Science, een lezing geven binnen de Leiden Socio-Legal Series.

In het kader van ILS 2.0 zijn er restgelden beschikbaar voor het indienen van subsidievoorstellen en - direct daaraan gekoppeld en inherent daaraan - het ontwikkelen van nieuwe onderzoekslijnen. Per aanvraag geldt een maximumbudget van 40.000 euro. In totaal is 180.000 euro beschikbaar voor deze cal…

Biological polymers, including proteins and the genome, undergo folding processes crucial for their proper functioning. Even slight changes in the folding structure of these biopolymers can have significant implications, leading to the development of various pathological conditions, such as neurodegenerative…

In this thesis, classes of strongly interacting quantum field theories, have been studied.

This Thesis shows discoveries in non-linear astrochemical kinetics as well as a deeper analysis of dark clouds chemistry.

Decentralized plug and play systems for energy production are the future picture of our society. Artificial photosynthetic systems are used for this purpose.

A large diversity of exoplanetary systems has been found, but it is still unclear what drives this diversity.

To study how planetary systems come into existence we study much younger systems still in formation.

Understanding interactions in quantum many-body systems remains one of the most profound and difficult challenges in condensed matter physics.

Interactive exploration of large volumes of data is increasingly common, as data scientists attempt to extract interesting information from large opaque data sets. This scenario presents a difficult challenge for traditional database systems, as (1) nothing is known about the query workload in advance,…

Vitamin A or retinol is essential in embryonic development, the visual cycle and the immune system.

Promotor: B. van de Water

Despite being the object of intense study, embryonic development has been difficult to model due to a number of reasons. First, complex tissues can be comprised of many cell types, of which we probably only know a subset.

Inspired by natural photosynthesis, perovskite-based photoelectrochemical (PEC) systems are being developed for artificial photosynthesis, aiming to enhance solar-to-hydrogen conversion for green energy.

Shape and biological function are tightly connected. Physical descriptions are used to connect the shape of a biological system with its function.

The field of exoplanet research is rapidly advancing through the development of new technology, observing techniques, and post-processing methods.

Immunotherapies for cancer are an emerging class of therapeutic strategies which aim to treat cancer via augmentation of the immune system.

The work described in this dissertation contributes to a better mechanistic understanding of nanoparticles in vivo. To achieve that goal, we used the zebrafish as a highly predictive pre-screening model of nanoparticles.

The work done during this PhD research, aims to investigate the effect of tidal heatingin the observability of extra-solar satellites around exoplanets.

With the advent of multicore processors and data centers, computer hardware has become increasingly parallel, allowing one to run multiple pieces of software at the same time on different machines. Coordination of these pieces is best expressed in a coordination language as an explicit interaction protocol…

This thesis describes how to scale down concepts of macroscopic mechanical metamaterials to the thermal scale using a system of flexibly-linked colloids.

Despite their ecological, cultural, and economic importance, lion (Panthera leo) populations in Kenya are declining rapidly due to retaliatory killings following livestock depredation, depletion of wild prey, habitat loss driven by human activities, climate change, and disease.

This thesis is a (biased) journey through very different topics in astrophysics: quasars and new populations of active galactic nuclei, gravitational waves from merging black holes, and protoplanetary discs around young stars.

Dit academisch jaar zal de Leiden Socio-Legal Series (LSLS) van start gaan! In deze reeks van 10 lezingen zal maandelijks een jurist(e) aan de hand van zijn of haar eigen onderzoek aangeven op welke wijze het rechtssociologisch perspectief – in theoretische en/of methodologische zin – daarbij een rol…

This thesis advances automata learning, a key area in computer science, with applications in software verification, biological analysis, and autonomous technologies. It explores three main themes: first, it introduces a passive learning algorithm for generating compact probabilistic models from positive…

A plasma is an ionized gas with very low electrical resistivity. As such, magnetic field lines are 'frozen in' and move with the fluid. Magnetic field lines that are linked, knotted and tangled, cannot be undone by the fluid motions.

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

Biodiversity enables ecosystems to thrive through the synergy of functional differences among organisms. While human well-being strongly depends on biodiversity-driven ecosystem services, human actions are also at the root of current unprecedented biodiversity declines.
