Topology Optimization of large-scale systems with many local constraints KU Leuven
Topology Optimization (TO) is a powerful technology which allows to compute optimized designs of physical systems in a fully automated manner, without any assumed parameterization of the geometry. From the mathematical standpoint, it consists of solving nonlinear optimization problems constrained by partial differential equations. This technology allows to improve the performance in various physical settings such as structural design, heat ...

Large-scale, multi-axial mechanical testing of components and structures for the energy transition, make industry and civil infrastructure Ghent University
The majority of Laboratory Soete's research and industrial activities rely entirely on a set of modular test rigs for large-scale mechanical testing of components and structures, that are driven by various actuators. To ensure further growth en reinforce the position of the lab, a significant investment in this infrastructure is required. As a result of the planned investment, (1) Laboratory Soete will be able to apply more complex testing ...
Investigating the human mycobolome through uniting large-scale epidemiological and mechanistic poly-omic designs (HUMYCO) Ghent University
Mycotoxins, toxic fungal secondary metabolites, known to be the most hazardous of all food contaminants in terms of chronic toxicity, have the potential to contribute to a diversity of adverse health effects in humans, and are unfortunately ubiquitously present in our daily diet. Chronic low-dose intake of multiple mycotoxins are hypothesized to be associated with an increased risk of developing human renal, colorectal and hepatocellular ...

Large-scale eigenvalue problems with eigenvector nonlinearities KU Leuven
Solving eigenvalue problems is at the heart of computational science and engineering. Recent advances in several application areas, including quantum-mechanics and machine learning, have led to the emergence of new types of eigenvalue problems, exhibiting nonlinearity in the eigenvector. Such eigenvalue problems require fundamentally different approaches, since the standard approach of reformulating the problem as a linear eigenvalue problem ...
Large-scale genome editing in the green seaweed Ulva mutabilis Ghent University
Seaweeds are important and have unique features making them interesting for industrial applications, yet they are underrepresented in functional gene characterization studies. Ulva is currently the only seaweed where transgenes can be efficiently expressed and while gene disruption by CRISPR is possible, it is inefficient. We need to drastically increase CRISPR efficiency in Ulva to allow the generation of large-scale mutant collections for ...
