**Your function**: We are all consumers; making use of products, services, ideas, or even people. Consumption is abstract (e.g., processing information, buying, owning, borrowing, sharing, recycling, putting to waste), yet concrete (e.g, shopping online, eating (un)healthy, (not) taking medicine, commenting on social media). Consumer researchers investigate...

**Jouw functie**: The 4-year PhD program focuses on developing rapid screening methods using high-resolution mass spectrometry (HR-MS) to detect chemicals in consumer articles and identify toxic substances through effect-directed analysis (EDA). The PhD research will be embedded in the European Partnership for the Assessment of Risks from Chemicals (PARC)....

**Jouw functie**: More than a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions come from the food production chain. Replacing animal proteins in our diets with plant-based alternatives drastically reduces these emissions. Plant-based diets are also healthier. However, current plant-based alternatives to dairy and meat do not have the desired taste, texture or...

**Work Activities**: Did you know high-energy electrons can serve as efficient sources of optical excitation of matter? Our group has developed cathodoluminescence microscopy, in which we use 1-30 keV electrons in a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to excite nanomaterials.
