Projects
Transfer-reaction studies at HIE-ISOLDE. KU Leuven
Collinear laser spectroscopy for the study of exotic nuclei at ISOLDE-CERN. KU Leuven
This project aims to study the evolution of nuclear single particle orbits and its effect on changes in the shell structure in a few particular regions of the nuclear chart, far from the valley of stability, where predictions of the nuclear properties are not possible using current‐day nuclear theories or based on ‘systematic behavior’. The model‐independent determination of the nuclear spin of an isotopes ground state or a long‐lived ...
Modelling Assays Platform "MAP" for hazard ranking of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) KU Leuven
MOD-ENP-TOX project is a multidisciplinary project aiming to accomplish the following objectives:
- to develop a novel and rational “Modelling Assay Platform (MAP)” which can be used as a « Risk Indicator » tool to predict the toxicity of metal-based NPs (MeNPs)
- to demonstrate the feasibility of a MAP prototype – on a shortlist of MeNPs - which can be further developed to screen the toxicity of a large number ENPs. Based on ...
Deviations from uniform period spacings of gravity modes as probes of core overshooting and rotational mixing near stellar cores of F-type stars. KU Leuven
Most progress has been made so far from the detection of acoustic modes, which probe the outer layers of the star, because these have relatively large surface amplitude and short periods. In particular, all modes detected in the Sun are of this nature and as such cannot give us information on the inner 20% in radius of the Sun. Recently, however, also gravity modes, which have lower surface amplitudes and longer periods, have been detected ...
