Projects
Center for Non-Linear Microscopy and Spectroscopy Ghent University
NOLIMITS will be a Core Facility for non-linear optical microscopy and spectroscopy, supported by
both the Faculty of Sciences and Faculty of Engineering and Architecture. It will serve the UGent research
community and (non-)academic external partners, by grouping over a decade of expertise and advanced
infrastructure related to ultrashort pulsed lasers and the advanced accompanying optical spectroscopy and
microscopy ...
Mapping the multi-modal single-cell landscape of metastatic and non-metastatic thin melanoma. KU Leuven
Cutaneous melanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer accounting for 72% of skin cancer-related deaths. The main prognostic factor in primary melanoma is Breslow thickness which is used in the clinics to predict the metastatic potential of each patient (high risk if Breslow thickness > 1mm). Under 1 mm (“thin melanomas”, tCM), melanomas have such a low risk of metastasis that patients do not get further treatment nor follow-up. ...
Cofunding core facility - Nano- and Microfabrication (NaMiFab) Ghent University
NaMiFab brings together the processing equipment and expertise for Nano- and
Microfabrication of three UGent research groups from the departments INTEC (EA05) and ELIS (EA06) (Faculty of Engineering and Architecture):
• Photonics Research Group (PRG)
• Centre for Microsystems Technology (CMST)
• Liquid Crystals and Photonics Group (LCP)
About 100 tools, used for fabrication and characterization at the nano- and ...
Sabbatical Liesbet Van der Perre: Wireless Technologies to Support the Sustainable Development Goals: Critical and Crucial Study KU Leuven
Wireless technologies at the basis of 5G networks have the potential to improve energy efficiency by a factor of 10 with respect to the previous generation. Yet, reporting in the first large-scale rollout is anything but positive. The excessive consumption is explained by a combination of factors, including a not (yet) optimal implementation, and the (expected) larger data volume. To make a major step towards carbon-neutral networks in 6G, a ...
OpenCloudification - CLOCO - Cloud Coock - LSEC - Leaders In Security
With this project, OpenCloudification wants to help technology companies, specifically software and device development companies, but not only them, to innovate by familiarizing themselves with various forms of advanced cloud technology. The goal is to use research translation and application-oriented knowledge building to bring technology companies faster access not only to this knowledge but also to open-source cloud technologies in ...
PREDISTINE - A Privacy-Preserving and Resilient Framework for Distributed Modular Neural Networks on the Tiny Edge KU Leuven
Due to the large amount and diversity of data generated by Internet of Things (IoT) devices, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has seen a breakthrough in IoT applications in recent years. Traditionally this implies that data must be sent to the cloud, which increases communication costs, causes delays in system response, and makes data vulnerable to privacy breaches. A solution is to migrate AI models to constraint devices. However, these are ...
Deep learning for quality control of crowdsourced data and seamless weather forecasting. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
crowdsourced and novel satellite observations, has increased
tremendously in recent years. Together with high-resolution weather
models, these new data sources have the potential to yield better
forecasts and protect society from climate extremes. However, current
weather forecasting systems do not make full use of this vast amount
of heterogeneous and ...
Novel approaches to Predict-and-Optimize KU Leuven
This PhD is positioned under Conversational Human-Aware Technology for Optimisation (CHAT-Opt), a research project led by Professor Tias Guns, for which an ERC Consolidator Grant running from 2021 to 2026 has been given. The CHAT-Opt project is motivated by the observation that, in reality, solutions found by constraint programming solvers often do not fully match the outcomes desired by domain experts. In order to align this present ...
Verifiably Secure Systems with Universal Contracts and Secure Compilation. KU Leuven
One of the driving ambitions of my research is to make it possible and affordable to construct systems with a rigorous proof of important security properties. Imagine, for example, constructing the software for a smart device with a computer-verified guarantee that it will only ever communicate with servers at example.com, or software for an industrial controller that can be proven to never send out-of-range parameters to a physical actuator. ...
