Leiden PhD student Kirsten Martens replaced Sara Carozza in our Casimir PhD Platform. Kirsten performs her research at the John van Noort lab. Sara will soon be defending her thesis. The Casimir Board would like to thank Sara for her time on the board and the effort she has put in co-organising the Casimir Spring School and the NanoFront Winter Retreat. 

About the PhD Platform
The six Casimir PhD Platform members meet about four times per year with the Casimir scientific director and coordinator to discuss the Casimir Courses and to plan activities for their fellow PhD students and postdocs, like the Casimir Spring School. Do you have ideas that the PhD Platform can bring up to improve our research school, or do you have questions about Casimir? Orkide, Gesa, Kirsten, Floris, Koen and Marios are happy to help you out.
