Projects
Astrophysical jets and gamma ray bursts: ultra-relativistic dynamics. KU Leuven
The conduction mechanism of thin film solid state elektrolytes Ghent University
The goal of the project is to investigate the parameters which influence the ion conductivity of thin film solid state electrolytes. To deposit these thin films reactive magnetron sputtering will be used. This opens the possibility to produce thin films with a broad spectrum of properties. The ion conductivity will be investigated at the nanometer scale by the local impedance spectroscopy.

Background
In the past few decades, exposure to air pollution has been found to be associated with all-cause mortality, cardiovascular and respiratory morbidity, both in the short term (acute exposure) and the long term (chronic exposure). According to the most recent report by the World Health Organisation (WHO, 2014), 3.7 million deaths worldwide and per year are attributed to ambient air pollution, placing it in the top 10 of risk ...
