Mesoscopic superconductivity and quantum matter. Our research-group is fascinated by new states of matter. O ne such state is the ferromagnetic state, known for thousands of years in, for example, the compass. Another one is the superconducting state, which is known since 1911. The current nanotechnology makes it possible to combine those different ground states. 1985-1998 Professor University of Groningen. 1999-2013 Professor Delft University of Technology.

The TU Delft Space Institute combines the strengths of different faculties of the TU Delft to enable ground-breaking and cutting edge research in the Space domain. The scientists at TU Delft Space Institu.

An astronomical observation is performed by observing how distant celestial objects influence terrestrial matter. Among the materials available on Earth, superconductors have a number of unique properties that can be used for sensing light in different ways. At our lab, we take advantage of cutting edge superconducting nanoelectronics to develop instruments that enable us to study the Universe, through observations that are currently impossible.
