Protein-protein interactions as a potential target voor antiviral therapy: development of inhibitors of the HCV NS5A-PI4KIII- alfa interaction. KU Leuven
From representing actions to representing interactions: What is the role of motor simulation in interaction representation? Ghent University
Research has shown that we process other people’s actions by simulating them in our own motor system. This means that we represent observed actions as if we executed them ourselves. However, social life requires us to process not only observed actions but also observed interactions. Could interaction representation likewise rely on motor simulation? In my PhD, I showed that the motor system can simultaneously represent multiple observed ...

Interactive Solving and Learning from User Interaction KU Leuven
Binnen dit project worden technieken en algoritmes uitgewerkt die een gebruiker interactief ondersteunen bij het oplossen van logische problemen. Een voorbeeld hiervan is het automatisch genereren van een uitleg die de gebruiker (gedeeltelijk en) stap-voor-stap naar de oplossing leidt. Daarnaast wordt er ook gewerkt rond feedback die uit deze interactie met de gebruiker voortkomt. We kijken hoe deze de logische theorie en de ...
Interaction of CMP, surface preparation, and material properties on hybrid bonding for 3D integration KU Leuven
Over the past few decades, 3D integration has developed as a field in which multiple dies are stacked and electrically connected. Traditionally, microbumps have been used as a method to increase interconnect densities, enabling the pitch to scale down to a few microns. However, further scaling is challenging, e.g. due to mechanical stability which becomes problematic at small bump diameters and the impact of Kirkendall voids on the electrical ...
Interaction between distribution grid tariffs and regulation, and consumer investment and behavior towards a technical optimum for maximal renewable integration KU Leuven
“If a problem cannot be solved, enlarge it.” - Eisenhower. Energy system integration is a discipline that looks at the energy system in its whole to identify links between different fields of expertise that could potentially benefit from each other. As such, this research aims at identifying how energy system components such as policy and regulation, a given socio-economic climate, today’s best practices within academic education and ...
Smart TSO-DSO interaction schemes, market architectures and ICT Solutions for the integration of ancillary services from demand side management and distributed generation. KU Leuven
Data Integration in Drug-Target Interaction Prediction for Drug Discovery and Drug Repositioning KU Leuven
Approved drugs have favorite or validated pharmacokinetic properties and toxicological profiles, and the repositioning of existing drugs for new indications can potentially avoid expensive costs associated with early-stage testing of the hit compounds. In recent years technological advances in virtual screening methodologies have allowed medicinal chemists to rapidly screen drug library for therapeutic activity against new biomolecular ...
CIM U+2013 Cochlear Implant Music: Bringing music back into the life of cochlear implant users and fostering their rehabilitation and social integration though musical interaction Ghent University
In this project, we develop and test a music instrument for people with a Cochlear Implant (CI) enabling them to create and enjoy music. We will also provide the opportunity to do this together with other CI users and/or other normal hearing people. The instrument will be controlled through gestures, and
it will access the electrodes of the Cochlear Implant directly (without using audio).
