Projects
Efficient and sustainable air purification technology: implementation of a (photo)catalytic nano coating in an electrostatic precipitator. University of Antwerp
Dye-sensitized up/down conversion in lanthanide nano materials Ghent University
Inorganic lanthanide-doped nano particles decorated with organic dyes will be synthesized and optimized towards up and down conversion, to obtain state-of-the-art materials that will enable wavelength conversion of parts of the solar spectrum, in order to increase the efficiency in photovoltaic technology. Making use of lanthanide coordination chemistry, highly efficient as well as stable luminescent nano materials will be developed
Design techniques for the fabrication of nano photonic waveguide structures in the silicon on insulator Ghent University
Plasma assisted catalysis as a sustainable indoor air purification technology. University of Antwerp
Low-power circuits and systems in a hybrid technology KU Leuven
The main ambition of this PhD project is to elaborate several design concepts towards ultralow power ASIC design, taking advantage of the novel developed hybrid technology in the ERC project ORISON. The novel technology combines monolithically Si CMOS and Indium-Gallium-Zinc-Oxide (IGZO) transistors. Virtual design libraries will be envisioned for system-technology co-optimization research activities, evaluating those concepts for different ...
Nanoantenna engineering: from edge-cutting lab science to applied electrical engineering technology. KU Leuven
Sustainable indoor air-purifying technology based on plasma assisted catalysis. University of Antwerp
Incorporation of double metal oxide nanocrystals in YBa2Cu3O7-δ nanocomposites via low fluorine chemical solution deposition (SynFoNY) Ghent University
The main objective of this SynFoNY program is to enhance the career perspectives of early stage researchers (ESRs) by providing the unique opportunity to be exposed to research and training in both an academic as well as an entrepreneurial industrial environment. This will be facilitated through the partnership between the SCRiPTS research group of Ghent University (UGent) and the industrial partner Deutsche Nanoschicht GmbH (d-Nano), ...
Sodium-ion Batteries with Functional Materials (So FuN). KU Leuven
State-of-the-art
Lithium ion battery technology is the most established and widely used in portable electronic devices and electric vehicles. With limited lithium resources available, sodium ion batteries are gaining interest recently thanks to the abundance and relatively low cost. The gravimetric and volumetric density of Na-ion batteries would not exceed Li-ion batteries (Fig.1) 1 because of the relatively heavier, larger ...
