This PhD project in experimental physics at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam asks how the first antimatter molecule could be made by studying the fundamental collision between a proton and a hydrogen atom. The research sits in the NWO Vidi project SAMURAI and focuses on one of the simplest yet most important atomic processes: whether the pair can bind and emit a photon to form H 2 + , a key reaction connected to molecule formation in the early universe and to proposed routes toward antimatter chemis...

Questions
Should I email professors before submitting my PhD application?
Yes. A well-targeted email can significantly improve your chances in many research-based programs.
What should I include in my first email to a professor?
A brief introduction, research interests aligned with the professor’s work, CV, and (if available) publication links.
How long should I wait before following up with a professor?
Typically 7–14 days. One polite follow-up is considered acceptable.
Is it better to send the same email to many professors?
No. Personalized emails that clearly match the professor’s research receive far better response rates.
Do I need a full research proposal when contacting professors?
Usually not initially — a short research summary is sufficient unless the professor specifically requests a full proposal.
