Luuk Pels will do research on the characterization of hot pixels of cameras using just a single image. His supervisors are Bernd Rieger and Sjoerd Stallinga.

Recently Spozmai Panezai has joined ImPhys/Rieger group to work on 4pi cryo microscopy at department of Imaging Physics at TU Delft, Netherlands. Her research interest is Light Microscopy, Digital holography, Optical Coherence Tomography and Adaptive Optics.

In October Gabrielle started as Postdoc in the ultrasound team. She will be studying ultrasound imaging of bones and of the intraosseous blood flow. Her supervisor is Guillaume Renaud.

Last October, the IEEE-UFFC-S special-topic school on Waves and Transducers took place at Delft University and chaired by Koen W.A. van Dongen from Delft University of Technology. The school was attended by 32 participants from academia and industry who all shared a common interest in ultrasound technology.

NASA’s GUSTO balloon observatory has arrived on Antarctica onboard the Wallops C-130 airplane. It is scheduled for launch around the 15th of December. GUSTO is equipped with three 8-pixel far-infrared cameras delivered by SRON and TU Delft and will carry out the first large-scale survey with velocity-resolved imaging of the spectral lines emitted by three cosmic elements between stars.

Qian Tao was interviewed by TU Delta on using AI in radiology. Qian is co-director of the CHEME AI Lab, one of our 24 TU Delft | AI Labs. The CHEME Lab investigates knowledge-driven AI and demonstrates its potential within two applied science domains in particular – chemical engineering and imaging physics. Artur Schweidtmann is the lab's other co-director; Lukas Schulze Balhorn, Qinghe Gao, Changchun Yang and Yidong Zhao are PhD students in the CHEME AI lab.

Alexander Heemels, PhD student in the ImPhys Optica department, won the poster prize at the Dutch Photonics Event. The poster titled "A novel tool to design freeform optics" presents how algorithmic differentiable ray tracing together with THB-splines can be used to design freeform lenses for illumination applications.

Pim van Beeck is currently following the master's in Applied Physics with a specialisation in health and life sciences. He will join the Menzel Lab, where he will work on using ComSLI to study the three-dimensional network of fibrin fibres in blood clots.

Menglin started his MSc thesis project under the supervision of Prof. Bernd Rieger. He will be working on fixed dipole emitter localization in 4Pi single molecule localization microscopy.

Achere Eyong is currently doing his master’s program in Nanobiology jointly at the TU Delft and Erasmus MC. This relatively new program teaches applied physics, programming and modelling to tackle biophysical problems at the nanoscale. His academic interests lies in optical systems and computational solutions to problems related to biophysics. He will be joining the Menzel lab from the 4th of September.
