Projects
Stochastic modeling and analysis of communication systems Ghent University
The project aims at the development of efficient mathematical techniques for the analysis of stochastic models that are useful for the performance analysis of modern heterogeneous telecommunciation networks. These models stem from queueing theory and estimation and decision theory. They are designed to provide more realistic characterizations for information sources and arrival streams, service mechanisms and scheduling techniques in network ...
Detection and estimation algorithms for the digital communication networks of the future Ghent University
The project aims to design and analyze algorithms to extract digital information from physical communication signals. The focus is on
- New frequency bands for wireless communications; ideally suited for use in conjunction with massive MIMO and small cells, but characterized by highly modified propagation conditions.
- Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access techniques (NOMA). Thanks to NOMA, the available resources (time, ...
The role of the material and natural world in grandparent-grandchild communication over distance KU Leuven
This dissertation sets out to study the role of the material and natural world in communication between grandparents and young grandchildren over distance. Two guiding notions of doing and triviality, grounded in the theoretical notion of agency in relation (Barad, 2007), serves as the thread in three chapters.
In the first chapter, doing is studied with a specific interest in physical items and communication technologies, which are ...
Advanced MIMO signal processing for robust high-speed electrical and RF chip-to-chip communication Ghent University
This research proposal involves high-speed chip-to-chip communication. The research aims at reducing the harmful effect of crosstalk by coordinating the transceivers located on a same chip. In addition, robust signal processing will be developed to counteract the harmful effect of manufacturing tolerances.
Advanced signal processing techniques for estimation and detection in digital communication, with application to ultra-wideband (UWB) transmission Ghent University
The project aims to investigate the performance of certain advanced receiver algorithms for the specific application of ultrawideband communication. To this end, special attention will be devoted to the optimalization of the ultrawideband system in an attempt to make the considered receiver algorithms more efficient.
Decoding neural responses to sounds in patients with disorders of consciousness for diagnostics and unlocking communication KU Leuven
Command following (i.e., the ability to voluntarily execute a simple command) is an important criterion in the diagnosis of patients with disorders of consciousness (DOC). Indeed, it is assessed clinically through the use of behavioural scales such as the Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R) and allows the distinction between patients with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS) and patients in a minimally conscious state (MCS). However, DOC ...

Cooperative communication systems with iterative estimation and detection Ghent University
The purpose of this project is the investigation of iterative algorithms for estimation and detection with reasonable complexity and performance, for channel estimation and decoding in the context of wireless communication networks with cooperating nodes.
ICAPA - Interactive communication platform for active and passive alarms in elderly care Ghent University
The aim of this SME innovation project is to create a speaking-listening connection on the sensors that are installed in each room and currently only detect automatic alarms. Particular attention is paid to a design that is flexible in use and installation, long lasting on batteries and can be integrated with the current Senso2Me wireless sensors.
