Engineering the Quantum Future: Hands-On Research in Quantum Sensing, Quantum Computing & Quantum Communication – Applying photonic, electronic, and quantum engineering techniques to design, build, and optimize experimental setups for cutting-edge quantum sensing, computing, and communication technologies. Quantum technology is reshaping how we measure, compute, and communicate and you can be part of it. Within…

VIVA – Vision Inspection for Volume Assembly – Optimization of Spray performance of Spray Nozzle Chips  Company OverviewThe project VIVA brings together a consortium of partners including Applied Nanotechnology Research group at Saxion and Medspray Technology & Manufacturing BV. The consortium is working together to develop an innovative process for the assembly and quality control of nozzle chips used in Spray…

 Particle-based SERS sensing of bacterial spores in milk   SporeSpotter project aims to develop an advanced bacterial spore detection platform for the dairy industry. Bacterial spores pose serious health and economic risks such as from Clostridium Tyrobutyricum and Bacillus Cereus species. These spores can survive standard pasteurization processes and lead to contamination in dairy products. The related late blowing defect caused by these spores can…

Photonics Wafer-Prober: alignment automation & wafer-level testing Are you a hands-on student who actually likes making things work in the lab. We need someone to turn a half-built wafer prober into a reliable measurement tool, demonstrate manual and automated measurement flows, and run some tests afterwards. This is a practical, technical internship with real responsibility.  We are developing a…

Software development for a Pipetting Helper Imaging Lid (PHIL) used for biomedical applications  Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a serious health status affecting 33 million worldwide. The drug development for AF is cost intensive and a time-consuming process. Organ-on-Chip technology has the potential to revolutionize drug development. While conventional processes involve animal testing, this number can…

Electrical stimulation of Cardiomyocytes in a Heart-on-a-Chip  Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a serious health status affecting 33 million worldwide. The drug development for AF is cost intensive and a time-consuming process. Organ-on-Chip technology has the potential to revolutionize drug development. While conventional processes involve animal testing, this number can be reduced significantly by using human…

Functionalization of the ORCHIDD platform using antibodies for the detection of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa.  Infectious diseases are illnesses caused by pathogens that can get into the body and therefore cause existential threats. The COVID pandemic has demonstrated how disruptive even mild pathogens can be for society, and the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance is increasing at alarming…

Researching the antimicrobial activity of the polymer Q51 and its application in air purification systems to reduce the spread of pathogens. Q51 is an innovative patented polymer. It utilizes guanidine groups derived from L-arginine, which carry a strong cationic charge. This results in a strong electrostatic interaction with the cell membranes of microorganisms, disrupting them…

An osteoblast/osteoclast co-culture model to study menopause related osteoporosis.  Menopause marks the final menstrual period in a woman’s life. In the period preceding menopause, called perimenopause, a shift in hormonal balance occurs. While some women go through this period uneventfully, others experience negative consequences that affect their physical health and workability. One of the physical…
