Photonic Integrated Circuits For Surface Enhanced Raman spectroscopy: Atomic Layer Deposition Assisted Enrichment and Integration of Plasmonic Nanostructures and Nanophotonic Waveguides Ghent University
Raman spectroscopy (RS) is a powerful technique to identify the composition of a material by probing the mechanical vibration of molecules using a laser beam and detecting the shift in the optical frequency induced by the vibrating molecules. It has many applications ranging from the detection of counterfeiting to monitoring chemical processes and probing living cells. The key challenge with RS is twofold: firstly, the Raman signal is ...
3D quantitative multi-tissue imaging by contrastenhanced nanoct to improve the understanding of the dynamic biological processes of tissue formation . Acronym: connecttify = contrast-enhanced nanoct to visualize tissue formation. KU Leuven
Organs and biological tissues have a spatial heterogeneity. Thus, 2D measurements like histomorphometry only partially reveal the degree of change during tissue formation and integration. As a solution, the applicant proposes the use of nanofocus X-ray computed tomography (nanoCT). It allows 3D visualization at high spatial resolution. However, soft tissue contrast is inherently poor. Therefore, within this project it is the aim to synthesize ...

3D Structural Platform for Chemical Excellence. Ghent University
Science communication Exploring to lay the chemical and biological space through the link between the three-dimensional structure of bio (molecules) and their physicochemical properties, chemical reactivity and function has been shown to be one of the revolutionary techniques on a methodological level in the (bio ) chemical sciences in the last century. This is structural information in the post-genomic era has become an integral part of the ...
Valorisation of the Tervuren xylarium for rainforest ecology: investigation of wood collections to underpin REDD+ and other new mechnisms for tropical forest conservation Meise Botanic Garden

Regenerative Spatial Dramaturgies KU Leuven
Spatial dramaturgy is both a methodology - in which I situate my practice - and an interdisciplinary field - through which I move. It enables me to queer my own position as a spatial designer, through encounters and explorations in performance, scenography, visual arts and artistic research. This proposal, Regenerative Spatial Dramaturgies, unravels the existing hegemony of relationships through a range of scripting methods, so we can ...
BASTA: Biochar’s Added value in Sustainable land use with Targeted Applications in processes, growing media & (future proof) open-field cultivation Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
BASTA envisages producing biochar from residual biomass resulting in an economically valuable and sustainable end product for applications in (1) manure and biomass processing; (2) growing media; and (3) open fields. Based on multidisciplinary data (chemical, biological, economic and legal), a policy and business support tool is created to assist intelligent matches between input material(s), production ...
SINGLE ATOMS MATTER – a concerted approach to precision synthesis of nanocrystals Ghent University
Nanocrystals are a form of matter for which single atoms can determine performance. Exploiting the emerging convergence between colloidal synthesis and atomic layer deposition, Single Atoms Matter aims at establishing synthetic triggers to selectively promote nucleation and growth as a toolkit for atomic precision in nanocrystal synthesis. These triggers will be applied for forming tailor-made nanocrystals for opto-electronics and ...
