We seek to understand the molecular and developmental basis of evolutionary change. As model organism we use the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum.
Encapsulation is a major challenge for Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS). The need for a better process led to the idea of encapsulating MEMS devices with a porous membrane.
The Leiden Physics Department offers projects within the ongoing research of the Department.
The research has a strong focus on animal communication, with birdsong as our main model system.
Many phenomena, ranging from individual cognitive processing to social and collective behavior, cannot be understood without taking into account affective determinants.
