Model based evaluation of the industrial potential of controlled radical polymerization Ghent University
Recent research has indicated that controlled radical polymerization (CRP) allows to synthesize well-defined complex macromolecular architectures, which cannot be obtained by conventional free radical polymerization. In CRP, a mediating is present which allows a temporarily deactivation of growing macroradicals. Under controlled conditions, a polymer is obtained containing a high end-group functionality and a low dispersity. New envisaged ...
Robust model predictive online control of bioproduction processes based on fungal growth inspired multi-objective optimisation algorithms KU Leuven
Since millennia, microorganisms have been used in the production of
foods and beverages. More recently, microorganisms have also
shown their potential as producing agents of fine chemical
compounds. However, while most microorganisms are incapable of
producing (an economically viable concentration of) a targeted
compound, they are often genetically modified for this purpose. The
studied process ...

Exploitation of the intrinsic toxicity of nanomaterials for cancer cells as a new therapeutic agent. KU Leuven
Interest in nanomaterials (NM) for theranostic applications is constantly increasing yet its translation from laboratory to patient is challenging, primarily due to uncertainties about their toxicity. In the current project, we aim to exploit the intrinsic characteristics of NMs for tumor suppression in athymic nude mice xenograft models. For this end we will study the effect of polymer-coated fluorescent silica quantum dots, silver and gold ...

Smart Distribution: Multi-Agent System Based Distributed Controlfor Peer-to-Peer Microgrids KU Leuven
Control of distribution networks are facing significant challenges with the increasing penetration of distributed energy resources. The focus of this thesis is to develop active voltage control systems provided by photovoltaic (PV) and PV-battery inverters to mitigate or eliminate voltage problems of distribution networks. Various approaches that combine local and centralized voltage control techniques have been proposed in literature. These ...
