Public and private randomness in cryptography KU Leuven
I will develop techniques for generating and testing random values for use in cryptography, both in private and public settings.

Many smart grid applications (e.g. demand response and storage management) can benefit from machine learning for learning the local grid, market and user characteristics. Control performance can increase if such learning agents can interact with others. The goal of this work is to investigate how distributed control applications can benefit from this interaction, and controller performance can be improved or optimised.
Context
Flexibility is defined as the ability of power systems to cope with expected and unexpected changes in demand and generation, as well as grid disturbances. New technology trends such as variable, renewable generation and distributed energy resources challenge the demand as well the supply of flexibility, historically provided by conventional power plants. The development and deployment of additional resources for flexibility is ...
Electricity is a real-time product. Supply and demand, or generation and consumption, have to match exactly at any instance to support the stable operation of the power system. This results from the fact that electricity is not economically storable on a large scale. While this is challenged by techno-economic developments leading to increased and improved storage capacities, storage levels remain well below that of other energy commodities. ...
Achilles tendinopathy affects competitive and recreational athletes as well as inactive people. The incidence of this pathology in the general population is 1.8%and over 80% of tendon ruptures occur during recreational sports. The etiology of tendinopathies is multifactorial, but tendon overuse is assumed to be one of the main pathological stimuli.
Recently published studies have demonstrated the need for a better characterization of ...
In light of the European climate ambitions, there has been substantial growth in capacity of variable renewable energy sources in many Member States, with significant future growth expected. Such sources impact the operation of the power system by challenging its ability to maintain the short-term balance between supply and demand. Firstly, their output is variable and uncertain, increasing the need for short-term flexibility. Secondly, they ...
