This thesis represents the culmination of my research effors during the years of my PhD, and it would not be in its current shape had it not been for the help of many people.Though words cannot express the gratitude I feel towards some of you, I thank everyone who contributed to any part of this journey.In this section, I will thank some people in particular.First of all I want to express my huge appreciation for my supervisor Tjark Vredeveld.Where to start?Thank you for offering me this PhD track.You made sure I expanded my academic network, attended nice conferences, and collaborated with numerous researchers.You were so understanding and helpful when my private life hindered my work life.We cooperated very well in both research and teaching.I have come to see you more as a friend than as my supervisor and I thank you for everything.I hope we spend more time together, doing research or drinking wine; introducing me to that is, as you say yourself, perhaps your greatest achievement.I would like to thank my promotor Rudolf Müller for having me as his PhD student
