Innovative Optical Sensing for Precision Storage of Fruit KU Leuven in Belgium

KU Leuven is advertising a PhD position in insect behavior , precision agriculture , and black soldier fly larvae research. The project focuses on how larvae respond behaviorally to different breeding and environmental conditions, and how these responses relate to growth, survival, physiology, and production performance. The doctoral project is part of EntoBOOST , a multidisciplinary collaboration involving KU Leuven, Ghent University, the University of Antwerp, the Università degli Studi dell'I...

PhD opening at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in ultracold electron source development for time-resolved protein crystallography . This project, Cool T-ReX , is an ERC-funded effort to develop a pulsed electron source with extreme transverse bunch brightness based on photo-ionization of laser-cooled atoms. The long-term goal is to create the first laboratory-scale instrument for time-resolved protein crystallography with electrons, enabling molecular movies of protein conformational c...
