MASTER PROJECTS
Students with a background in chemistry or physics are encouraged to explore the possibilities of doing a Bachelor or Master research project at the Van 't Hoff Laboratory.
Below you can find brief descriptions of example Master research projects that could be completed in our group. Bachelor projects can be found on the Bachelor projects page.
If you are interested in a project or topic, please contact the student coordinator, Geert Schulpen, for more information.
Currently, we do not have many projects with a fixed description available. If you are interested in exploring the possibilities to do a Master research project at the Van 't Hoff Laboratory in a topic that is different from the projects currently advertised, please contact the student coordinator. We might be able to design a project together.
Colloidal synthesis of nanolenses onto 2D substrates
Light-utilising technologies play an important role in our everyday lives, and will likely become even more important in the near future with novel applications such as optical circuitry and sustainable photocatalysis. To enable such optical nanotechnologies, it will be essential to collect and deliver optical energies as efficiently as possible. In this Master’s project, we will broaden the applicability of nanolenses by investigating how they can be grown directly onto 2D surfaces.
