Looking forward to do great science together!
On Wednesday 13th of February Maarten successfully defended his MSc thesis. Congratulations Maarten, really great job!
Maarten will now join our group as PhD student.
I am happy and proud to announce that today was the last day of Miguel Tinoco in our group, since he will start a new postdoctoral research position at the Complutense University of Madrid. All the best in your new adventure! We will miss you!
Two days full of exciting lectures and hands-on tutorials based on the HyperSpy open source software for multi-dimensional data analysis.
Thanks all the instructors and participants for a very productive and enjoyable workshop!
Congratulations to Stef Smeets, who has been awarded a KIND (Kavli Institute of Nanoscience Delft) postdoctoral fellowship to work in our lab jointly with the group of Arjen Jakobi at the Bionanoscience department. Stef will join Delft in early 2019. Looking forward to welcoming Stef in our lab!
This Monday we welcome Sabrya van Heijst to our group. She will be carrying out her MSc research project with us.
The European Research Council has just announced that our lab has been awarded an ERC Starting Grant!!
Thanks to the support of this ERC grant, we will be able to study how the unique properties of layered materials (LMs), which are fully functional down a single atomic layer, can be further expanded and enriched by exploiting the one-dimensional geometry.
We welcome Maarten Bolhuis to our group as new MSc student!
The NWO and the Dutch minister of Science and Education have announced an investment of 17M€ for NEMI, the Netherlands Electron Microscopy Infrastructure.
Within NEMI, Delft will focuse on research in the field of material science for quantum technologies. Especifically , the Conesaboj Lab (Electron Nanoscopy of Quantum Materials) receives €900K to upgrade the Titan TEM microscope to carry out new material research at the nanoscale.
More information can be found in this link.
Today was the last lecture of the “Electron Microscopy Characterization of the Nanoscale” course of the Applied Physics Master. It was a pleasure to have such a great group of students!
On February 8th Dave Dekker successfully defended his MSc thesis “Mapping the nature of electrical properties in hybrid nanowires using electron microscopy”.
Congratulations Dave!
Our first paper was published today in Nano Letters: “Strain-Dependent Edge Structures in MoS2 Layers“.
Great job done by Sebastiaan, Pepijn, Corne and Martijn with their PEP project carried out in our lab: ”Atomic Modelling of Nanostructures for Electron Microscopy Analysis”.
Congratulations!!!
