Tuning graphene into a spin active material: Exploiting its size-specific interaction with metal clusters KU Leuven
The success of semiconductor industry relies on the continuous improvement of the performances of integrated circuits (IC). So far, this has been achieved by reducing the size of the basic building block of these circuits, the metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET). The downscaling of MOSFET’s has been realized by introducing new materials, like high-k dielectric/metal gate stacks and high-mobility semiconductors (Ge, ...
Induced forces and correlations between passive particles in an active medium KU Leuven
The behaviour of passive particles suspended in a (passive) fluid, ordinarily known as Brownian motion, is well understood and is a paradigm model in many fields. This research attempts to answer the question of what happens to a passive probe in an active fluid. Active baths may exhibit striking collective behaviour which may cause the effect of the bath on the probe to be extremely persistent. Furthermore, when multiple probes are placed in ...
Active state estimation for high degrees of freedom robotic applications KU Leuven
Planning actions under uncertainty has always played a significant part in robotics. As robots become more prevalent in dynamic home, industrial, and harsh environmental settings, they will be increasingly required to make independent decisions about how to accomplish their tasks, very often under (severe) uncertainty. Sources of uncertainties in robotics are derived from sensor noise, uncertain actuators, and uncertainties in environmental ...
Continuous cooling crystallization of complex organic active pharmaceutical ingredients in a microreactor KU Leuven
Intensification of pharmaceutical manufacturing will enhance the production efficiency, while also improving the utilization of resources, such as space, energy, and raw materials. The pharmaceutical industry still relies heavily on batch-wise production, but the development and application of microfluidic technology has enabled on-demand synthesis of pharmaceutical products using miniaturized continuous platforms. To achieve end-to-end local ...

Magnetically Controlled Transformers: Analysis and Implementation in a Dual Active Bridge Converter KU Leuven
Controllable magnetic devices, such as variable inductors, are gaining prominence in modern power electronics applications. These devices offer a new degree of freedom in the design and optimisation process, contributing to increased power density and efficiency. While conventional implementations using parallel premagnetisation are well understood, the same cannot be said for variable transformers and alternative biasing techniques. ...
