An efficient hybrid laser-electrochemical micromachining technology KU Leuven
The idea behind hybrid micromachining is to combine different machining processes/material removal mechanisms to enhance the capability/performance of state of the art manufacturing processes while still reaching economic feasibility. Hybrid laser-electrochemical micromachining involves coaxial and concurrent application of electrochemical and laser processes in the same machining zone. This project will conduct in-depth research into the ...
Data-driven energy systems modeling for cost-efficient balancing KU Leuven
Our energy system is undergoing a major transition towards a more sustainable and less carbon-intensive system, characterized by an increased penetration of renewable energy sources, higher energy efficiency and reduced emissions of greenhouse gasses. In Belgium, the nuclear phase-out, which currently represents 40% of the installed capacity, fosters this integration of decentralized, intermittent generation, such as wind and solar power. In ...
Knowledge Representation in Practice : Advanced knowledge-base interactions in industrial applications KU Leuven
There is a growing insight that a key factor for the success of an AI system is often its ability to interact in a meaningful way with users. In Decision Support applications, communication with the decision makers is key: after all, if they do not understand the system, they will be reluctant to follow its advice. In this PhD, we will improve on the current state-of-the-art on this topic in two ways. First, there is a recent evolution ...

New design methodologies for hybrid solar harvesting installations KU Leuven
The development of novel types of solar energy systems is experiencing a boost in the last years. New materials that may lead to increased efficiency of solar energy harvesters, and new operation principles for solar energy harvesting that may result in uptake of the solar-based energy production are searched. For instance, different technologies such as BIPVT (building-integrated photovoltaic/thermal panels), vacuum PV/T panels, FGM ...
Quantification of joint loading in adults with haemophilia using multi-segment foot modelling KU Leuven
Haemophilia is a rare coagulation disorder mostly affecting men. It is characterized by the absence or deficiency of circulating factor VIII (haemophilia A) or factor IX (haemophilia B). In severe cases (factor level < 1%), it could result in abnormal, sometimes spontaneous bleedings and impaired blood coagulation. Up to 90% of these bleedings occur in the musculoskeletal system, with the ankle joint being most prone to recurrent bleeding ...
