Plasma Physics and Chemistry Challenges for the Interconnect Technology of 2D Materials. KU Leuven
Transition-metal dichalcogenides such as MoS2 or WS2 are semiconducting materials with a layered structure. One single layer consists of a plane of metal atoms terminated on the top and bottom by the chalcogen atoms sulfur, selenium, or tellurium. These layers show strong in-plane covalent bonding, whereas the Van-der-Waals bonds in between adjacent layers are weak. Those weak bonds allow the microcleavage and extraction of a monolayer. ...
“Family Making in India through Adoption or Reproductive Technology ” An interdisciplinary investigation of preference of Indian couples experiencing infertility regarding means of family formation Ghent University
The goal of this research project is to understand the socio-cultural and regulatory factors influencing preference of married couples in India suffering from infertility or subfertility regarding means of family formation. I will concentrate on two approaches to family formation; adoption of a child(ren) and assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) using gamete (egg and/or sperm) donation. The study will focus on Indian couples who are ...

Droplet generation and manipulation in microfluidic devices based on acoustic technology KU Leuven
This project will investigate the effect of acoustic forces on droplet dynamics in microfluidic devices. We will focus on 2 important applications: i) acoustic assisted droplet generation in flow focussing geometries to generate nano-scale droplets, and ii) acoustically enhanced droplet coalescence. Experiments will reveal the underlying acoustofluidic effects, which will then be incorporated in a mathematical model. This approach will result ...
Legal analysis of the Belgian legal framework on assisted reproductive technologies. Embryonic stage, teething problems and implantation of an adult legal framework KU Leuven
For ages, mankind has been occupied with its own fertility. Since the birth of Louise Brown, the first test tube-baby, the research into assisted reproductive technologies is fully on-stream. De first livebirths after uterus transplantations and genetic interventions have already been reported. Legal research has not followed this trend, although assisted reproductive technologies also raise legal questions. This PhD contributes to legal ...

Indoor multipath assisted angle of arrival localization. KU Leuven
Indoor positioning systems enable a broad range of location aware applications, ranging from guidance and tracking to position based entertainment. A multitude of localization systems exists, but Radio Frequency (RF) technologies are mostly preferred, due to the omnipresence of wireless communication infrastructure and handsets. However, the localization accuracy is often impaired by Non-Line-Of-Sight (NLOS) connections and indoor multipath ...
