Analytical gradients for projection-based quantum embedding KU Leuven
Projection-based quantum embedding is a method that uses a multiscale approach for accounting for the effects of the environment in condensed-phase systems with reduced computational cost. It has recently been shown that this is a suitable technique for calculating excitation, ionization, and electron attachment energies employing different flavors of the EOM-CC theory. In this project, we aim to implement analytical gradients for this method ...
i-Fast: In-factory Food analytical systems and technologies Ghent University
The goal of I-FAST is part sensitize the target companies through the platform action and advice, inform, advise and assist in the selection and implementation of appropriate analysis, measurement and inspection systems (innovative or already available on the market). Alternatively innovative technologies are translated through the validation processes for concrete solutions to real business challenges. To achieve the goal the project brings ...
A contribution to the development of sensitive and isotope-selective analytical methods based on sector-field ICP-mass spectrometry for supporting the development of Gen IV nuclear reactors Ghent University
In one of the proposed Gen IV nuclear reactor designs, lead-bismuth eutectic is being considered as the primary coolant. The goal of this PhD project is to develop analytical methods to determine impurities and corrosion products in this particular coolant in addition to developing analytical methods to analyze new, spent and experimental nuclear fuels.
Development of new analytical strategies for the direct analysis of archaeological material Ghent University
This project aims at the development of analytical methods, mainly on the basis of laser ablation – ICP-mass spectrometry, for the quasi non-destructive elemental and isotopic analysis of archaeological materials (without preceding digestion). Prehistoric rock paintings, pre-Roman and medieval ceramics and Roman coins, all originating from Spain, serve as target artifacts. The interpretation of the results thus obtained will be carried out in ...
