Model Predictive Control and Innovative System Integration of GEOTABS in Hybrid Low Grade Thermal Energy Systems - Hybrid MPC GEOTABS Ghent University
The MPC-GT project brought thogether a transdisciplinary team of SMEs, large industry and research institutes, experienced in research and application of design and control systems in the combined building and energy world. Based on prior research, supported by (joint) EU and national projects, and practical experience the bottlenecks where identified that prevent at this moment a real breakthrough of geothermal heat pumps (GEO-HP) combined ...

Hybrid literature, hybrid agency: the status of the literary text in Edward Said’s cultural analysis Ghent University
Abstract (max. 60 woorden): This project investigates the status of literary texts and its implications on the conceptualization of agency in Edward Said’s criticism. By submitting Said’s contrapuntal approach to a close rhetorical reading, this project analyzes the incorporation and application of the intertexts Said draws upon and their foundational influence on the status of literature and the correlating view on agency.

Hybrid CAR – improving cellular therapies for infectious diseases Ghent University
In this project we aim to develop a Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T cell-based therapy against a viral infection, where virus becomes effectively eliminated from the patient’s organism. CAR T cell therapy has been successfully applied to treatment of haematological malignancies, but its usage to treat viral infections so far has failed clinical trials. The novelty of our approach consists in targeting not only infected host’s cells ...

Sabbatical Filip De Beule: Hybrid Organizations, The Next Chapter in Sustainable Business: A Comparative Institutional Study KU Leuven
Across the globe, hybrid organizations have attracted increased interest from practitioners and policymakers, but also from the academic world. Hybrid organizations, like social enterprises and cooperatives, set up in response to market failures in communities, are delivering innovative solutions to persistent social and environmental challenges. This new breed of organizations has taken a more business-oriented approach to tackling social ...
Smart Hybrid DC-DC converters for Li-ion Battery Operated Portable Electronics KU Leuven
The goal of this dissertation is to develop power management integrated circuits (PMICs) for Li-ion battery-operated portable electronics that are lightweight, affordable, and efficient. On the one hand, a limited energy source, such as a small battery, mandates efficient use of energy to extend battery life. Emerging applications like internet-of-things (IoTs), on the other hand, push for incredibly smaller footprints. The traditional method ...
Innovative hybrid neutral models for the plasma edge modeling of nuclear fusion reactors KU Leuven
Plasma edge simulations are extensively used for the development of operational scenarios of existing and future magnetic confinement based fusion devices and the design of future reactors. One typically solves a set of Navier-Stokes like fluid equations for the plasma, whereas the neutral atoms and molecules are usually treated kinetically with a Monte Carlo simulation. An example of such a kinetic Monte Carlo code is the worldwide used ...
