GHz half wavelength contact acoustic microscopy (HaWaCAM): A feasibility study

The semiconductor industry needs to fit ever more devices per unit area to improve their performance; hence a trend towards increasingly complex structures by varying material combinations and 3D geometries with increasing aspect ratios. The new materials used may be optically opaque, posing problems for traditional optical metrology methods....

Measuring performance and improvement of amateur runners

The main idea behind the project was to construct some sort of tool that could help runners, with a TomTom sports watch, in their training, by analysing the data that TomTom has available. Although, still far from reaching the desired goal, this project resulted in many useful insights. In order to construct such a tool training performance and...

Towards a Mathematical Formalism for Semi-stochastic Cell-Level Computational Modeling of Tumor Initiation

A phenomenological model is formulated to model the early stages of tumor formation. The model is based on a cell-based formalism, where each cell is represented as a circle or sphere in two-and three dimensional simulations, respectively. The model takes into account constituent cells, such as epithelial cells, tumor cells, and T-cells that...

Semi-stochastisch model voor de groei van een tumor met interventie van T-cellen

Onderzoek gericht op de groei van een tumor binnen een gezond weefsel. Als reactie van het menselijk afweersysteem op de kankercellen, worden er T-cellen in het model geimplementeerd. Door middel van een computersimulatie worden de resultaten getoond.
