Computational analysis of large-scale biological data Ghent University
The purpose of this project is to design efficient computational algorithms for the analysis of large-scale biological data, and to develop software applications to make these algorithms easily available for domain experts (applied scientists) without a computational background. We will focus on a few applications in particular: (a) the use of long-read sequencing data, as generated by the MinION sequencer, for the improvement of metagenomic ...
Establishing the contribution of the muscle-tendon interaction to the metabolic cost of running using a blended experimental and computational approach KU Leuven
Although humans have been running bipedally for thousands of years, there is still substantial variability in the way we run, i.e. our preferred running pattern. Moreover, also the metabolic energy we consume to run at a certain, submaximal velocity varies between runners. Despite the large body of running related research, our understanding on the underlying mechanisms explaining the variability in preferred running pattern and/or the ...
Turning redundancy into a computational advantage: frame-based discretisations of differential equations KU Leuven
Many processes in science and technology are described by mathematical models and equations. The equations capture the physical constraints of the process, and their solutions describe the actual outcomes. Sometimes these equations can be solved by hand, but in modern research more and more scientists rely on numerical computations with a fast computer. Most equations take the form of differential equations. These describe the way a system ...

Computational investigation of nanomaterials for renewable energy applications Ghent University
The aim of this project is the development of advanced computational models that enable affordable yet accurate quantum mechanical calculations to be performed in nanomaterials which constitute promising candidates for hydrogen production and storage. The insight provided by the computational optimization of the target nanostructures may be used in the design of more
efficient nanodevices for energy storage and conversion.

Fungateria : Enlisting synthetic fungal-bacterial consortia to produce multi-cellular mycelium-based ELMs with computational capability Vrije Universiteit Brussel
synthetic co-cultivation consortium of a filamentous fungus and a bacterial strain. Sensing and adaptive growth of the fungal hyphae
are exploited to develop an autonomous bottom-up and scalable manufacturing technology called Growth Composing (GC) that
enables an engineered morphogenesis of mycelium ...

Exploring the Deep Universe by Computational Analysis of Data from Observations Ghent University
The formation and evolution of massive galaxies is reasonably well understood in the context of the successful standard ΛCDM formalism. Such simulations of cosmic evolution, however, lead to serious challenges in the regime of the very faint galaxies, including the problems referred to as missing satellites, too big to fail, and planes of satellite galaxies. With the massive amounts of excellent data being produced by astronomical surveys, ...
