  • From fluid dynamics to blockchains and vice versa

    8 December 2017

    Some doctoral students know that their future does not lie in the academic world once they’ve gained their PhD. The physicist Sten Reijers, for instance, a third-year research assistant at the University of Twente, is going into business. Together with five friends, four of whom are also physicists, he recently launched his own company, Chaintip, that advises on blockchains. Remarkably, he is combining business with studies: NWO was prepared to alter his contract, allowing him to become a part-time PhD student from September onwards.

  • Metal soaps critical in speed of deterioration of oil paintings

    15 May 2017

    An oil painting is not a permanent and unchangeable object, but undergoes a very slow change in the outer and inner structure. Metal soap formation is of great importance. Joen Hermans has managed to recreate the molecular structure of old oil paints: a big step towards better preservation of works of art. He graduated cum laude on Tuesday 9 May at the University of Amsterdam with NWO funding from the Science4Arts program.
