Didier Martin (promotion date: 7 November 2007) Development of superconducting tunnel junction arrays for astronomical observations
We are trying, and this has been an ongoing process over the last 15 years, to make superconductors into imaging detectors for radiation in general and optical radiation in particular. We optimized the fabrication method of the existing detectors. As a result we discovered new effects in our measurements, and tried to explain these theoretically. ... read more |

Manon Ludden (promotion date: 21 September 2007) Molecular print boards as general platforms for protein immobilization
Protein immobilization is important for e.g. diagnostic systems in hospital laboratories. The proteins that are characteristic of the illness need to be detected, wich can be done for instance by immobilization of an other protein which has the ability to bind the protein of interest. ... read more |

Henk Dam (promotion date: 16 May 2007) New Ligands for Americium: a Combinatorial Approach
Americium is a metal like uranium, but man-made. It does not occur in nature. Imagine the waste product of the nuclear energy industry like a very hot highly toxic soup comprising different elements, a large part of it uranium that has not been used and plutonium that is a result of the nuclear reaction. ... read more |

Alessio Piermattei (promotion date: 3 May 2007) Liquid crystalline Hydrogen bonded Rosettes
My thesis is about the synthesis of liquid crystalline materials based on self-assembled molecules. You could compare these molecules with a house with just one room, where you build another one on top, and another and another, until you have a skyscraper. I use the principle of self assembly to get a structure that is actually visible. ... read more |
