Thermal hyperspectral material characterization for Art Conservation based on hypercubes. University of Antwerp
Inverse characterization of thermomechanical material behavior of metals using multi-physics FEMU KU Leuven
The PhD project aims at devising an inverse identification strategy to fully exploit multi-physics experimental data acquired from an information-rich experiment on a metallic test specimen. The focus in this project is on the identification of thermomechanical constitutive plasticity models used for simulating industrial metal forming and joining processes.
Strategic fundamental research in the domain of fysico-chemical characterization of complex material systems, mainly NMR techniques. Hasselt University
Inverse characterization of metals through information-rich material testing KU Leuven
Characterization of the thermal exposure and material properties of concrete during the fire decay phase for performance-based structural fire engineering Ghent University
Safety and sustainability require designing buildings for the decay phase. To enable this, (i) models for the fire decay phase will be developed; (ii) decay phase properties of concrete will be determined; (iii) structural models will be developed and validated for decay phase performance; and (iv) uncertainties will be quantified and a reliability-based design approach developed.

Imaging the forces driving cancer: from material characterisation to 3D model systems KU Leuven
Biomaterials are central in the development of personalized medical technologies targeting regenerative therapies or diagnostic methods. In addition to direct clinical applications, biomaterials play a key role in the development of advanced 3D tissue and disease models. However, insufficient knowledge of how material properties affect cellular behaviour hinders the rational design of new biomimetic synthetic scaffolds. In my future research ...
