Geopolymerization: a generic solution for the valorisation of high-temperature residues KU Leuven
The project considers the valorisation of historically landfilled and fresh residues from high-temperature processes. The residues considered in the study originate from non-ferro industries or residue from gas-plasma gasification of municipal solid waste, which are not commercially valorised yet today. Such residues have been proven to be valuable resources in inorganic polymer synthesis, because of their silica (+ iron, aluminium, calcium…) ...

Long-term Energy-system Optimization Models - Capturing the Challenges of Integrating Intermittent Renewable Energy Sources and Assessing the Suitability for Descriptive Scenario Analyses KU Leuven
This dissertation focuses on energy system optimization models (ESOMs). These models are used to generate possible transition pathways of the entire energy system in a single or multiple countries over a time horizon of multiple decades. Experimenting with different transition pathways allows gaining insights into the complexity of the energy system transition and can help in forming a long-term vision of this transition. In addition, these ...
Understanding Clementi’s Fingerings KU Leuven
My research proposes a case study of Clementi’s didactical works (Six Sonatinas Op. 36, Introduction to the Art of Playing on the Pianoforte Op. 42 with its Appendix Op. 43, and Gradus ad Parnassum Op. 44) focusing on fingerings – a subject that has been either taken for granted or overlooked in today’s scholarship, performance, and education, despite its vital contribution to the composer’s great renown in his time. Through practice-based ...

Pre-screening of anthropogenic lime carbonates for 14C dating KU Leuven
Mortars, or more generally anthropogenic lime carbonates, have been used for many centuries to build elements of architecture. The oldest known use of mortar dates from the Neolithic period. The production process of lime mortars consists of heating geological limestone (CaCO3) to produce quicklime (CaO) which is then blended with water to form slaked quicklime (Ca(OH)2) and mixed with aggregates (sand) to create the mortar. The hardening is ...
