Foreword I would first like to thank my supervisors Prof. dr. Geert Opsomer and Prof. dr. Stefaan De Smet Janssens for their support and guidance of the last two years. Furthermore I would like to express my sincere thanks to my younger sister Hannelore. She helped my countess hours correcting my English grammar, almost to the point of her insanity. However she kept on going! Also a special note of thanks to my friends Yasmine, Loes and Dorthe who supported me since we met in the third year. I am very thankful for the enjoyable moments we had and we hopefully will have in the future. Finally, I want to thank my parents for giving me all the amazing chances in life and supporting me throughout my years of study.
