Workshop

Charlene Kalle is an associate professor at the Mathematical Institute and programme director of the bachelor Mathematics.

Leiden students often prefer complicated theory and a difficult test to experiments. Yet associate professor Paul Logman believes students learn a lot from practical teaching. He challenges his students to come up with their research questions themselves. The Leiden Institute of Physics (LION) is at…

Mass, time, space, and complexity — physicists in Leiden are launching eight new research projects tackling some of the most fundamental themes in quantum mechanics. Their goal: to push the limits of current quantum theories.

Yiorgos Evgenios Douliakas is a lecturer at the Centre for the Arts in Society

I am a university lecturer in English-language literature and culture, specialising in the history and development of Gothic, Horror and Science Fiction, and recently also Noir, from about 1750-present. In my research I explore social and ethical questions relating to these genres.

Koenraad Schalm studies string theory and its connections to models of particle physics and cosmology in particular.

I started my PhD at Leiden University in March 2018. I graduated with a BA in Mathematics and Philosophy and a MA in Continental Philosophy (both at Warwick University). I then went on to complete my MPhil at KU Leuven, where I stumbled upon and fell in love with Husserl's Phenomenology.

Bart de Smit is Vice Dean and Director of education at the Faculty of Science. As the vice chairman of the Faculty Board he is responsible for bachelor's and master's education within the faculty. As a Professor at the Mathematical Institute he specialises in Algebra and number theory.

David Holmes studied Mathematics at the University of Warwick and Christ’s College, part of the University of Cambridge. He subsequently obtained his doctorate at the University of Warwick. In 2012 he started working as a postdoc at the Mathematical Institute of Leiden University and his research is…

What can Robotics and AI bring to archaeological theory and practice? In return, how can archaeology contribute to the developments in robotics and AI research? Colleagues tackled these questions at an event organised by the Faculty of Archaeology and sponsored by SAILS.

Following a special donation, the Stichting Pro Juventute foundation is facilitating a new special chair in Educational Theory and Law. Through the chair, Pro Juventute hopes to realise optimum child protection from a coherent legal and educational perspective.

‘What I find most alluring about soil life is that you can steer it,’ researcher Martijn Bezemer of the Institute Biology Leiden (IBL) reveals. ‘You can ask: What do you want? And then I can transform the soil into something you need. At least, that is what we thought.’

On Thursday 23 November, Professor Betty de Hart delivered the lecture ‘Exploring the Legal Archive on Race: Methodological Challenges’ as part of the lecture series ‘Reconsidering the Socio-Legal Gaze’ organized by the Van Vollenhoven Institute. Over 40 people attended the lecture, held online due…

Predicting the collective behaviour of systems, like a large group of people electing one of the parties, is no easy task. But there’s a theory that scientists have been using for decades to do just that: the theory of Gibbs measures. Last week, mathematician Mirmukhsin Makhmudov earned his PhD for…

Hendrik (dr. H.J.R.) Kaptein is an affiliated fellow with the Faculty of Law.

Using mathematics to determine whether scientific results are significant or not. Peter Grünwald, full professor of Statistical Learning at the Mathematical Institute (MI) and senior researcher in the Machine Learning group of Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI), has been awarded an ERC Advanced Grant…

'The way we consume information has changed dramatically over the past fifteen years. You're no longer just a receiver; you participate, create, and spread information. So why not use that to improve society?'

Dr Anouk Goemans has been appointed professor by special appointment of Youth Services and Child Protection from an Educational and Legal Perspective as of 1 November 2024. This chair is funded by the 'Stichting Steunfonds Pro Juventute' support fund foundation and serves as a bridge between the Department…

During the final meeting of the Thesis Project on 10 February at 'Pand Zuidwest' in The Hague, several students presented their theses. Students from different disciplines conduct research on formulated practice-oriented challenges in The Hague South-West. 'The Thesis Project provides a connection between…

Everyone has heard arguments like this before as a child: ‘Whether you like it or not, you have to go to school!’ It seems as though you are presented with two options, but there is only one real outcome. Charlotte van der Voort of the MA Dutch Studies won the Leiden University Thesis Prize on her research…

I am a PhD candidate in the Applied Quantum Algorithms group, supervised by Prof.dr. V. Dunjko and Dr. H. Wang. My current research direction is algorithm design and optimization theory for quantum machine learning.
