Research projects
-
Taming chemical reactions
In this project, the research team will study chemical reactions by colliding molecules very precisely with each other. They will make clear and detailed pictures of the reactions output.

MUNITION: for optimalisation of plastic recycling
Current policies are not optimal, resulting in only 30% of consumer plastic waste being recycled. This is why the MUNITION project is developing a digital tool that enables evidence-based choices for source separation or post-separation.
-
Controlling molecular collisions: unveiling the secrets of cold molecules
In this project we study scattering resonances in chemical reactions involving molecules like OH, NO, NH3 and H2CO. Using external fields, we manipulate molecular collisions in order to require deeper insights in the secrets of cold molecular systems

How do cells turn their noise up or down?
This project determines how cells can regulate noise, which will improve the understanding of how defects in noise-regulation can result in disease.
-
EBI: Engineering Business Intelligence
A novel generation of Industry 4.0 algorithms offers an opportunity for considerable evidence-based value creation in Dutch Process Industry, allowing a more comprehensive and real-time view on process performance.
-
Neuromorphic Scientific Computing: Towards New Hardware
This project will quantify the actual and potential energy reduction of scientific computing with current and near-commercial neuromorphic hardware and benchmark the potential of new neuromorphic hardware platforms for scientific computing.
-
Bettering nature’s approach
Electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 is a promising approach to offset carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. In this project, Roithova's team studied how the 3D architecture of catalysts affects the conversion of CO2 to cleaner substances.
-
National Individual Floating Transport Infrastructure (NIfTI)
Researchers from the National Individual Floating Transport Infrastructure (NIFTI) project will be studying the feasibility of a radically new form of transportation in which an individual module is driven by subsurface magnets.
-
Quantifying electron-electron forces at the atomic scale
In this project, researchers will investigate novel correlated electron phases in 2D materials. These phases exhibit unusual superconducting or magnetic behaviour and a better understanding of the role of electron interactions is needed. The research
