In dit interdisciplinaire onderzoeksprogramma werken onderzoekers uit vijf verschillende disciplines met elkaar samen. Zij stellen zich hieronder (in het Engels) aan u voor.

De onderzoeksgroep Terrorism and Political Violence van de Universiteit Leiden bestudeert de oorzaken van radicalisering, de tactieken van extremistische groeperingen, en de effectiviteit van anti-terrorismebeleid. We onderzoeken ook de rol van media en de invloed van postkoloniale erfenissen in de…

This interdisciplinary minor addresses sustainabilty challenges from a systems perspective, and investigates ways to sustain society within planetary boundaries.

How and to what extent the historic house (re-)constructs identity through image-making in China.

Aan de Universiteit Leiden worden cursussen over papyri en papyrologie aangeboden voor beginners en gevorderden (BA en MA), zowel op basis van teksten in vertaling als in de originele brontalen, van Egyptisch tot Grieks, Latijn en Arabisch.

Na het ontvangen van je diploma van LUC, kun je als alumni overal ter wereld heen. Velen die je voor zijn gegaan hebben ervoor gekozen om een master als vervolgopleiding te doen. Sommigen beginnen meteen aan hun professionele carrière of volgen een PhD. Door de vele academische vakgebieden die op LUC…

One of the key quests in astronomy is to study the growth and evolution of galaxies across cosmic time. Radio observations provide a powerful means of studying the formation of stars and subsequent buildup of distant galaxies, in a way that is unbiased by the presence of dust.

This dissertation investigates the energy and material related impacts of the transition towards a low-carbon heating system in the Netherlands, in the context of its 2050 climate and circular economy policy goals.

This thesis is concerned with the constitution of chiral responsive matrix assemblies that may undergo light-driven conformational changes and self-select vibrations to develop vibronic states for driving semi-classical coherent transfer with nearly 100% yield in a lossless NCAP process.

The haplolepideous mosses (Dicranidae) comprise about 4000 species distributed over a wide range of habitats, with great gametophytic and sporophytic morphological variation. Their monophyly is well supported by the results of several molecular phylogenetic studies, which shed light on their relationships…

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.

Antibiotic resistance, caused by widespread use of antibiotics, leads to bacterial infections that are difficult, if not impossible, to treat and is a major worldwide health concern.

Ferritin is a spherical metalloprotein, capable of storing and releasing iron in a controllable way. It is composed of a protein shell of about 12 nm and within its cavity, iron is stored in a mineral form.

This thesis describes a study from both a theoreticaL and an experimental point of view.

In 2018, the number of mobile phone users will reach about 4.9 billion. Assuming an average of 5 photos taken per day using the built-in cameras would result in about 9 trillion photos annually.

Growth hormone profiles are pulsatile and highly variable between individuals, limiting the implementation of mathemathical models to quantify an individual's secretion.

Heart failure is a major health care problem with high mortality.

In times of hardships or crisis, local people know how to deal with it using their resourcefulness. Although efforts are sometimes made by the government to help them, they are fully aware that community support is at least equally important.

This dissertation is about Bayesian learning from data. How can humans and computers learn from data?

During post-embryonic development into adults, animals face an environment that fluctuates constantly. For example, in nutrient availability, temperature, and osmolarity (e.g., salt concentration).

Every organisms in the tree of life faces the same challenge: the length of its DNA exceeds the volume of the cell it needs to fit in. Several strategies have evolved to solve this problem, one of them being the expression of proteins that bind and organize the DNA.
