SynOD: Alpha-Synuclein OMICS to identify Drug-targets
Developing statistical data integration approaches for omics datasets from various biological samples to identify genes and proteins involved in Parkinson’s Disease.
-
Functional data analysis approaches
In this project, we aim to develop new models and statistical methods for the analysis of data along a continuum.
-
New algebraic minimal models for topological spaces
This project aims to develop new concepts of minimal models for objects with multiplicative structures that arise in the mathematical fields of algebra and topology.
-
Uncovering symmetries of twisted invariants
This project analyses and builds algebraic invariants of geometric objects by simultaneously implementing multiplicative, equivariant, and twisted structures.
-
Symmetry on the interface of topology and higher algebra
This project studies symmetries in higher algebra to obtain new powerful structures in higher algebra, topology, and their applications to geometry and physics.
-
Morphological instabilities in epitaxial crystal growth
In this project we study mathematical models that describe the physics of crystal growth, with the aim to control the formation patterns of quantum dots, which are crucial for advancing technologies like semiconductors and optoelectronics.
-
Analysis of Self-Assembly in Polymers
Mathematically understand how self-assembly works in polymers: composite materials which can self-assemble into complex patterns.
-
Phase separation in composite materials
In this project, we aim to create mathematical tools to help us describe, understand, and control how different stable phases are distributed within composite materials.
-
An equivariant Fried conjecture
In this project, we are investigating a version of Fried's conjecture, relating analytic torsion to the Ruelle zeta function, that incorporates symmetries.
-
Higher invariants of finite-volume spaces
In this project, mathematicians aim to extend advanced mathematical tools to study more complex and unbounded shapes, and find new ways to calculate detailed properties of these shapes.
-
Local Langlands programme
The local Langlands programme aims to establish new connections between symmetry, number theory and geometry. It is all about the surprising relations between very different groups, ranging from Lie groups to Galois groups of number fields.
-
Spacetimes near the boundary of existence
Is the universe finite or infinite? Where and how does it end? In this project, mathematicians explore how to describe the boundary of the universe based on Einstein's elegant geometric description of gravitation.
-
PhD project: Risk Based Investment & Operation
This PhD project focuses on uncertainty quantification in grid calculations.
-
PhD project: Uncertainty quantification of models for temperature of power cables
This project aims to develop real-time insights into the current and future state of the Dutch power grid, to safely and reliably integrate more renewable energy sources while mitigating risks.
