Microbiota profiling of the house fly, Musca Domestica KU Leuven
We share our living spaces with a variety of insects – some of them can be nuisance pests, others can be beneficial, and some insects we do not even notice. These insects carry with them an abundance of microbes, that can be either beneficial (sometimes even crucial) or pathogenic for them, serve as a food source or be part of the transient microbiota. While insects can introduce valuable diversity to the niches they inhabit, they can also ...
MSCA Doctoral Network on In-Situ Monitoring of Electromagnetic Interference KU Leuven
PhD Position in MSCA ETN ETERNITY: EMI-resilient Interconnected Medical Systems KU Leuven
Many technological innovations in medical applications will rely on distributed sensors and (wireless) communication networks. This brings major safety and reliability challenges as there will be more reliance on the (wireless) interconnections to operate reliably for all scenarios, and this over the system’s entire life-cycle. As such, it is necessary to guarantee the connectivity’s robustness, taking into account a combination of stresses, ...
PhD Position in MSCA ETN PETER - ESR12: EMI-Resilient Medical Display Systems for Surgical-, Diagnostic Imaging- and Modality Applications KU Leuven
This PhD research concerns the study of Electro-Magnetic risk management for medical display systems. The intention is to develop and use a new EM-risk analysis methodology based on own research and research results of other PETER-ESRs, to complete and optimize Barco's existing Design-for-EMC process, to make it compliant with the relevant requirements of IEC 60601-1-2:2014 Ed.4 and to test it on medical display systems. By completing this ...
Novel high dielectric ABO4 layers on high mobility semiconductors for downsizing MOSFETs: links between the structural and electrical properties KU Leuven
The sub-microscale miniaturisation of the metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor opens the way to small scale electronic devices. The miniaturisation forces the whole structure to downscale, including the oxide layer between the metal gate and the semiconductor substrate. This oxide functions as a capacitor allowing to induce charge in the semiconductor via the field effect. However, as the layer becomes thinner, the leakage ...
Deep learning for automated movement analysis using motion capture: Case studies on detecting and assessing gait impairments in people with Parkinson's disease and freezing of gait KU Leuven
% !TeX root = ../../thesis.tex
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder, affecting an estimated 6 million people worldwide. PD causes degeneration of dopamine-generating neurons, which leads to progressively worsening gait impairments. One of the most debilitating gait impairments is freezing of gait (FOG). FOG is common in PD and is defined as a "brief, episodic absence or marked reduction of forwarding ...
PHD researcher on structure of 2Dsemiconductor-dielectrics interfaces. KU Leuven
As the academy found the abundant nature of graphene, a two-dimensional material which draws a lot of attention. After decades of research, it was found that the interesting nature of layered materials with strong in-plane bonding and weak out-of-plane interactions could possibly leads the semiconductor device application into a new era. However the electrical properties of graphene is not suitable to be a channel in a metal-oxide ...
