Second-Order Nonlinear Optical Properties of Metal Based Molecular Switches, Bridging Theory and Experiment. KU Leuven
Optics, the science of the interaction of light with matter, has become ubiquitous in our society. Light is propagating in the form of photons over optical fibers, very much as electricity in the form of electrons, is transported over electrical conductors. Indeed, photonics is the technology platform that relies on the manipulation of photons, rather than electrons in electronics. Nonlinear optics (NLO) is a sub-field describing all optical ...
Brains (Back) to Brussels 2010 - Verankering : Combining experiment and informatics to study biopolymer dynamics and interactions. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Experiment and observation in seventeenth-century meteorology and natural philosophy. A comparative study of Descartes's 'Météores' and Fromondus's 'Meteorologicorum Libri Sex' Ghent University
The project investigates which epistemological presuppositions are responsible for the different approach towards meteorological phenomena in the work of Descartes and Fromondus. The primary aim is to understand which different meanings could be ascribed to experimental and observational practices in the first half of the seventeenth century. In these analyses we will focus on the following two questions: what is the role of observation and ...

Fundamental interactions: at the boudnary of theory, phenomenology and experiment Ghent University
To improve our understanding of Fundamental Interactions in physics through closer collaboration between Belgian research teams engaged in theoretical or experimental approaches.
Context-aware identification of kinase-substrate association and protein phosphorylation through large scale proteomics experiment reprocessing. Ghent University
Protein function is highly regulated by the co-ordinated expression and interaction in different tissues and the correct localization within different sub-cellular compartments. A common mechanism for protein regulation are post-translational modifications (PTMs). Protein phosphorylation is the most prevalent and well-studied PTM in eukaryotes, with involvement in diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer’s. This reversible modification is ...
