Audio Visual Signal Processing Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The Audio-visual Signal Processing (AVSP) Lab investigates novel methods for the automated interpretation of social and affective behaviour. Research areas include social signal processing, multisensor fusion, computer vision, ubiquitous computing, and machine learning. Our expertise is mainly focused on developing automated methods to analyse social signals from verbal and non-verbal behaviour with multiple sensing modalities (e.g. ...

Cardiovascular Research and Engineering Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The recording of the electrocardiogram (ECG) remains the cornerstone for the clinical diagnosis of each cardiac disease. The ECG records the electrical activity of the heart on the body surface and produces images that are characteristic of both normal and abnormal conditions. Unfortunately, the conventional ECG records that electrical activity in a limited number of sites on the torso and falls thus short in providing the cardiologist with ...
Cell Biology and Histology Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The Department of Cell Biology (CYTO-VUB) is specialized in molecular and cellular liver research, with a main focus on the (patho)biology of hepatic stellate cells and liver progenitor cells. Prof. A. Geerts contributed to the first paper on isolation, purification and culturing of hepatic stellate cells (1) and is the author of a side scatter activated cell sorting method to purify freshly isolated hepatic stellate cell up to 95 - 100% (2). ...

Electronics and Informatics Vrije Universiteit Brussel
ETRO (Electronics and Information Processing) focuses on three major topics: devices and electronic technology (LAMI) on the one hand, and on the other hand the processing of information through electronic means in fields related to digital images and video (IRIS) and speech (DSSP). 1. IRIS studies how to map image processing algorithms on appropriate architectures for efficient implementation, image and video compression, data visualisation, ...
Elementary Particle Physics Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The research of the ELEM team is developed in the framework of the Inter-University Institute for High Energies - IIHE (VUB- ULB). At present experimental work is carried out at the accelerator complexes of CERN (Geneva) and DESY (Hamburg) as well as in a neutrino observatory installed at the South-Pole (IceCube experiment). The preparation of the experiments (design and construction of particle detectors) as well as the final data analysis ...
Engineering Materials and Applications Hasselt University
Engineering Materials & Applications (EMAP)
The Engineering Materials & Applications (EMAP) research group focuses on developing innovative solutions to successfully bridge the gap between fundamental research and industrially compatible products and processes. This is done in a wide range of fields, from materials physics and chemistry to electronics, electromechanics and electrochemistry. Cooperation with industrial ...
