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.
Introduction of analytical separation techniques in virology to study interaction at the molecular level of picornaviridae Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Functionalized nanoparticles – bringing characterization to the next level using a complementary analytical toolkit Ghent University
Although an increasing number of analytical techniques and methods are becoming available for the detection, identification and quantification of nanoparticles (NPs) during the nanomaterial production process, their application is still a major challenge due to the complex composition of nanomaterials. Here we develop a new comprehensive set of fit-for-purpose analytical tools for characterisation of NPs, thus enabling a fundamental ...

Development and optimization of X-ray based analytical techniques towards the analysis of rare extraterrestrial materials. Ghent University
Micro-XRF spectroscopy, using synchrotron or conventional X-ray source based excitation, is a well-established non-destructive, microanalytical method, providing information on the elemental distributions in the probed sample. When three dimensional spatially resolved information is of interest, often a confocal micro-XRF detection scheme is applied as an alternative to XRF tomography. However, both methods pose significant challenges when ...
