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.

Do you know who Antoni van Leeuwenhoek was? And what kind of little creatures live in water? During Science Day 2023, 4,000 enthusiastic visitors discovered who Antoni was and what influence he had on our daily lives.

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.

Gijs started his master endproject at the KalkmanLab. His thesis is about investigating aberrations in Optical Diffraction Tomography and further developing iterative numerical methods for solving multiple scattering problems.

Maaike Smit will be doing her MSc project as part of the Mars lab, under supervision of Chiara & Kathleen. She will be studying a novel technique to directly measure neuronal currents using MRI.

Nathan Geerts will be working on the computer simulation of cardiac magnetic resonance images from an MRI physics model. He will be doing this project under the supervision of PhD Yidong Zhao and responsible supervisor Qian Tao.

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.
