Biofictions of Border-Crossing: A World Literature for Outsiders KU Leuven
Following recent developments in the growing field of biofiction studies, this project analyses biographical novels with a social justice component from the perspective of World Literature. The selected corpus includes recent novels set in all continents and in various historical periods, allowing me to map the world-span of contemporary biofiction and its figuration of the dimension of deep time. While all these texts thematize ...

Teacher-student Interactions and executive functions in children: a cross-cultural investigation KU Leuven
Executive function (EF) refers to a collection of several interrelated but separated processes including working memory/updating, inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility/shifting, that aim for goal-directed behaviours (Friedman & Miyake, 2017; Huizinga et al., 2006). EF is a cornerstone for an individual’s adaptive function in learning and social interactions. In order to help children to develop their EF appropriately, especially ...
Multiscale dynamics of thermally active nanomagnetic systems: bridging the gap between sub-nanoscale thermal fluctuations and emergent mesoscale and macroscale magnetisation dynamics Ghent University
In microscale magnetic systems at nonzero temperatures, the continuous excitation by extremely
small thermal fluctuations often gives rise to dynamics on much larger scales. These multiscale
dynamics, spanning up to 9 orders of magnitude, make the study of thermally active systems very
challenging.
In this project, we will address outstanding research questions in systems where thermal
fluctuations give rise to ...
