Spatio-temporal modelling of the epidemiology of nephropathia epidemica and Lyme borrelosis KU Leuven
Nitrogen fertilization in ornamental plant production based on in-season demands through proximal sensing and soil modelling KU Leuven
The ornamental plant production sector produces high quality products, but faces challenges in times of increasing environmental constraints.
Growth patterns and nitrogen uptake dynamics of five ornamental crops were determined during three growing seasons (2016-2018). This resulted in nitrogen uptake quantities sufficient for optimum plant quality.
Open field production of herbaceous and woody ornamentals is characterized by a ...
Regional climate modelling for wind farm optimization and control KU Leuven
The research concentrates on improving existing wind farm parameterization in the regional climate model COSMO-CLM, allowing for wind farm optimization and control. Calibration of model parameters will be done based on results from large eddy model simulation available from TFSO. COSMO-CLM is a non-hydrostatic mesoscale model and in this project, it will be used to study the interaction between large wind farm clusters and mesoscale weather ...
Biomechanical modelling of facial expressions KU Leuven
Dynamics of Quantum Correlations KU Leuven
The main aim of this thesis is to study quantum dynamics, with a focus on irreversible, dissipative dynamics, by collecting repeated observations and arranging them to form a process. This leads to quantum states of extended models with some simplifying features. The models explored here are quantum spins on Fermionic lattices and chains of quantum spins. We focus in particular on the randomising properties of the dynamics.

Model-based active thermography for contactless quality assessment in the agro-food industry KU Leuven
In the agro-food industry, there is an increasing demand for non-destructive quality inspection tools that allow to inspect every individual product. This is the result of an increased focus on food safety and quality over the past decades. Several fast, non-destructive and contactless technologies have been studied for food quality inspection, many of them based on the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with the food product. ...
Search for a tensor component in the weak interaction Hamiltonian KU Leuven
The topic of this thesis is the precision measurement of the beta-asymmetry parameter A</>. It was measuredin the decay ...
