Casimir theses 2016

Casimir provides PhD students with an ISBN number for their theses. Together, these theses  form the “Casimir PhD Series”. The PhD theses with a Casimir PhD series number are listed below. Please note that Casimir PhD series 2016-04 was issued to two PhD students, since they co-authored one thesis. Two other PhD students in Casimir who defended their theses in 2016 did submit a request for a Casimir PhD series number, therefore these are not mentioned in the list below.
