The Laboratory for Epilepsy Research is affiliated with KU Leuven and has a close collaboration with the Reference Center for Refractory Epilepsy of UZ Leuven. Prof dr Wim Van Paesschen is head of both.
Laboratory of Epilepsy Research is currently partner of the SeizeIT project, which aims to develop a small and discrete smartphone-based device, which is able to detect epileptic seizures in the home-based setting of patients with ...
GRON aims to group and structure research into the growth and development of healthy and chronically ill children. Growth and development should be viewed in broad terms, i.e. both physically, psychologically, and development of maturity and (medical) responsibilities.
The research of the group focuses on the following sub-areas:
TOPIC A : Model Development and Model Validation (Van de Perre R.) non-empirical validation methodology empirical whole model validation methodology building energy simulation tests and diagnostic method software accreditation procedures design tools (simplified and detailed) TOPIC B : Simulation Technology for the Building Sector (Verstraete P.) appropriate use of building simulation tools training of young graduates in new technologies ...
