Research
IST performs cutting-edge research and education in imaging science to advance the fundamental understanding of physical phenomena leading to new innovative imaging principles and revolutionary imaging instruments. The department consists of four research groups/areas focusing on the topics:
Biomedical technologyInstrumentation and image analysis for healthcare application and fundamental life sciences research. | Nanofabrication and nanoscopyUsing charged particles for fabricating nanoscale devices; Developing nanoscale electron and optical imaging. | Wave technologyExploring wave phenomena for spectroscopy and imaging; nonlinear inversion, sources and wavefield synthesis. |
The department has a leading role in Medical Delta, a research initiative in Health Science & Technology, a regional collaboration of the TU Delft, Erasmus MC, LUMC, Leiden University and Erasmus University; the Delft Research Initiative Delft Hi, one of the four major topics of the TU Delft, and the DELPHI consortium for developing geo-imaging technologies for 36 leading oil(-related) companies.
