Hydraulics Section KU Leuven
The Hydraulics Section of KU Leuven is active in the following three domains: (1) urban and river hydrology and hydraulics (prof. Patrick Willems), (2) coastal and estuarine hydrodynamics (prof. Jaak Monbaliu), and (3) sediment mechanics (prof. Erik Toorman). Research priorities are:
Urban and river hydrology and hydraulics. Key words: river hydrological and hydraulic modelling, urban drainage, hydrological extremes (floods, ...
Soft Matter, Rheology and Technology Section KU Leuven
The aim of the Soft Matter, Rheology and Technology (SMaRT) division is to foster and conduct research on soft matter and the rheology of complex fluids on a fundamental level as well as their application to technical processes. Such complex fluids span a wide range of materials, including polymer solutions, melts and blends, emulsions, colloidal dispersions, surfactant solutions, etc.
A characteristic feature of such complex fluids and ...
Biochemistry, Molecular and Structural Biology KU Leuven
Research on four types of functionally active proteins - Copper proteins : hemocyanins (involved in dioxygen binding). - Thiol proteins: metallothioneins (metal detoxication and donation). - Protease inhibitors: alpha -2-macroglobulin homologues. - Regulatory proteins: cytokines (defencesystems against infection). Aim: to determine, after their isolation or possible induction, the composition and the primary to quaternary structure of these ...
Plasma Lab for Applications in Sustainability and Medicine - Antwerp (PLASMANT) University of Antwerp
Fluid Mechanics Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Main research domains of STRO: 1. Computational Fluid Dynamics Computational Fluid Dynamics, in short CFD, is the technology aimed at the computer simulation of flows of liquids and gases. It is presently applied widely in research and industry, in all areas where the motion of fluids are important. In particular, aerodynamics, aerospace, hydraulics, environmental studies of air and water pollution dispersion and transport, wind energy, ...
Chemical Engineering and Industrial Chemistry Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The research in the Department of Chemical Engineering aims at developing creative solutions to challenging problems in the field of separation technology and catalysis by exploiting the new possibilities in materials engineering and nanotechnology. Key to this development process is a thorough understanding of the fundamental events, from the molecular scale to the real life application level. In our group, advanced experimental techniques ...

Proteinchemistry, proteomics and epigenetic signalling(PPES) University of Antwerp
Drug Delivery and Disposition KU Leuven
The research expertise at the Laboratory for Pharmacotechnology and Biopharmacy lies in the area of the physicochemical and biopharmaceutical evaluation of drug candidates and dosage forms designed for extravascular administration. The main focus is to improve drug bioavailability both by a pharmacotechnological (new drug formulations) and a biopharmaceutical (based on knowledge of drug absorption mechanisms) approach. Pharmaceutical ...
