Ruben Hamans is one of the three finalists for the 2017 KNCV Golden Master Thesis award. Ruben did his thesis in the Nanomaterials for Energy Applications group at DIFFER, working on the assembly of a super-resolution microscope. This instrument is capable of imaging catalytic reactions at the surface of metallic nanoparticles with single molecule accuracy and sub-wavelength spatial resolution. The winner will be announced on Tuesday, October 9, at the Avond van de Chemie 2018 in Den Haag.
