Product analysis and development of purification methods of proteins using semi-preparative HPLC Ghent University
The increased use of (recombinant) proteins in food/feed and in pharmaceuticals requires an in-depth analysis of the end product. Protein product analysis requires a range of methods including chromatography and mass spectrometry. This project aims to develop alternative chromatographic methods for protein analytics and for the specifical removal of contaminants resulting from fermentation processes, for example by implementing ionic ...
Beyond Borders, Through Frames: Exploring inclusive methods of producing animation (with humor) as a tool to generate awareness and representation with stories from and by immigrants KU Leuven
This PhD proposal delves into the utilization of animation and humor as powerful tools for spotlighting immigrant stories while exploring the filmmaking process to be more inclusive and accessible. It encompasses the creation of an animated short film, underpinned by a commitment to decolonial and inclusive practices from conception to distribution.The blend of theory and practice, alongside my filmmaking expertise, the research promises a ...

Neuro-Symbolic Methods for Fair Multilingual Natural Language Processing KU Leuven
Most current NLP models tend to use one type of data: unnatotated text data from various sources, typically from the web. Some languages have very little such data but have other resources such as grammars, dictionaries, typological features etc. These resources are seldom used in NLP. We hypothesize that this is an oversight and that these resources will be crucial to improving NLP for languages for which there is little other data ...

Testing goal-directed explanations of perseverative and overly exploratory behavior in obsessive-compulsive disorder with behavioral and neuroscientific methods KU Leuven
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a severe psychiatric disorder characterized by perseverative symptoms – obsessions and compulsions. Accumulating evidence suggests that behavior in OCD can also go into the opposite extreme and become overly exploratory. Explanations of behaviors in OCD are usually based on dual-process models, which differentiate between goal-directed and habitual behavior. Some authors suggest that perseverative ...
