AI wordt veel gebruikt in HR-processen, maar we weten nog weinig over de bijdrage van deze applicaties aan eerlijke en inclusieve beslissingen. Leids onderzoeker Carlotta Rigotti is betrokken bij BIAS, een groot consortiumonderzoeksproject om de rol van AI te verduidelijken én een nieuwe app voor HR-professionals…

This thesis investigates opinion dynamics on random graphs through the lens of the voter model, a classical interacting particle system used to describe how consensus emerges in networks.

This thesis investigates how quantum, quantum-inspired, and hybrid quantum-classical computation can enhance key points of the automated machine learning (AutoML) pipeline under the constraints of noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices.

In this thesis, we use low-frequency and high-frequency radio observations to address the following questions regarding quasars: is the radio loud/quiet quasar dichotomy real?

This thesis takes steps toward understanding the interaction between gas-phase and solid-state molecules in star- and planet-forming regions.

Deze opleiding wordt aangeboden door het Leiden Academic Centre for Drug Research en is gericht op onderzoek en ontwikkeling van geneesmiddelen. Het programma beslaat vrijwel het gehele gebied van het geneesmiddelenonderzoek en biedt studenten veel keuzevrijheid.

This thesis examines silicon pore optics (SPO), a technology that exploits silicon wafers from the semiconductor industry to create extremely high quality X-ray optics, by studying its manufacturing process, applications, and prospects.

Zand, hout en fossiele brandstoffen: uit cijfers van het CBS blijkt dat Nederlanders steeds minder grondstoffen gebruiken. In het radioprogramma ‘Geld of je leven’ op Radio 1 geeft Industrieel Ecoloog René Kleijn zijn visie op de ontwikkelingen.

In this dissertation non-parametric Bayesian methods are used in the application of robotic vision.

Bacteria are highly complex and diverse organisms that have adapted to survive in ecological niches ranging from the most extreme to the most heterogeneous environments.

Ruim 2700 auto’s van de Fremantle Highway dat op 26 juli in brand vloog zijn te beschadigd voor verkoop. Kunnen we deze auto’s nog hergebruiken?

Healthcare Information Systems (HIS) are essential for modern healthcare delivery, yet their development faces significant challenges including heterogeneous data formats, regulatory compliance, and the growing demand for AI-driven decision support.

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.

In this PhD-thesis several new and existing data science application are described that are particularly focused on applications for tax administrations.

Overlevingsanalyse is een onderzoeksgebied dat zich richt op het bestuderen van de tijd tot het optreden van een specifieke uitkomst.

Carbonaceous asteroids preserve a record of early solar system processes, where minerals and organic molecules, like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), offer clues to planetary evolution and prebiotic chemistry.

Continuous optimization is never easy: the exact solution is always a luxury demand and the theory of it is not always analytical and elegant.

Humans can see the world through the eyes of other humans and imagine what they know, want, and intend. This competence is known as Theory of Mind.

We explored the Universe using weak gravitational lensing, a phenomenon that occurs when light from distant galaxies is bent by the gravitational fields of closer cosmic objects, much like how a lens distorts light.

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.

Hoe kunnen we onze maatschappij zo inrichten dat de wereld leefbaar blijft voor onszelf en al het andere leven om ons heen? Aan dat vraagstuk werken Leidse wetenschappers samen vanuit allerlei disciplines, van biologie tot datawetenschap en van milieueconomie tot archeologie.

Dit doctoraatsproject onderzoekt voornamelijk op welke manier (d.w.z. serieel, parallel of op een andere manier) de parser het Mandarijn-Chinees verwerkt. Daarnaast wordt onderzocht of er specifieke taalkundige kenmerken zijn die de decodering van het Mandarijn-Chinees bepalen en die verschillen van…
