Rianne vd Berg's thesis defense
This morning, Rianne van den Berg has given a presentation about her
long Casimir Project. Students in the Casimir track do a long project
(36 EC) in addition to two smaller ones. Rianne did this large project
under my supervision. In her presentation, she explained how she has
used master equations for the density matrix in order to analyze
transport through a chain of coupled sites with possibly Coulomb
interactions. Though somewhat on the technical side, her presentation
was sound, well structured and clear for the group members (if I may
speak for them here). Also the exam afterwards went very well, and
Rianne was awarded a high mark. Congratulations Rianne, and good luck
with your next projects: first one with Sander Otte (MED) and then with
Mark Ratner at Northwestern University in Evanston!

Rainne certainly did a very good job with her thesis project. And I think she would do a good job on the next project she would handle. Anyway, I wish you posted the thesis topic ideas of Raine, so that we would have information on what did she defended. I do hope everything went well with her.
