Assessment of the fertilising properties and environmental impact of biobased materials via the cycling of carbon and nitrogen. Ghent University
Environmental impact assessment of different electronic waste (E-waste) management Ghent University
The study focuses on different end-of-life strategies, which are currently applied or researched on in Vietnam or successfully implemented in developed countries like Belgium, to manage ewaste. The objective is to quantify environmental and human health impacts as well as
effectiveness of different technologies, in order to propose improvements which may contribute
to the sustainable development of Vietnam.
Prospective Sustainability Assessment of Emerging Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing Technologies; An integrated Approach towards Considering Environmental and Economic Life Cycle Impacts Ghent University
The project aims at assessing the sustainability of emerging biopharmaceutical production processes considering both environmental and economic aspects by combining Life Cycle Assessment and Life Cycle Costing. New methods will be developed to estimate the required data to forecast the environmental and economic sustainability of these technologies at pilot and at full scale.
A neuro-criminological study of the impact of the prison environment on inmates’ self-control. A longitudinal assessment during and after imprisonment Ghent University
Prisons are expected to deter, retaliate and protect society. They are also expected to prepare detainees for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation, however, depends on a life of quality with autonomy and self-control. So far, research about self-control has only focused on the negative impact of the prison environment on cognitive functions involved in the control of impulses. Prisons indeed are environments which often restrict autonomy and ...

Revisit building-level greywater recycle: Data-driven system control and environmental assessment Ghent University
Building-level greywater recycle changes the paradigm of urban water system which can reduce fresh water/energy demand and CO2-emission. This study will critically revisit various greywater technologies fitting to different purposes i.e. flushing, cooling or drinking; and then evaluate the lifecycle environmental impacts; and further develop data-driven analytical tools (XGboost machine learning) for designing/operating the integrated water ...
