Chemical & Biochemical Process Technology & Control (BioTeC+)
Scientific research in BioTeC+ concentrates on model based optimization and control of microbial conversion processes. The underlying motivation is that model based solutions to process optimization and control problems are superior in performance and robustness as ...
Lab4U performs research on the development of new technologies and their implementation in existing (bio) chemical processes aiming a transformation from batch to flow. The research group focuses on characterization, development and control of chemical reactors and separation units. Keywords include ultrasound and alternative energy, process intensification, green chemicals, milli-flow reactors, separation processes and inline process ...
The Process Engineering for Sustainable Systems (ProcESS) section is dedicated to contribute to sustainable chemical processing by
Process intensification and integration are key to the overall approach of our research as we aim at the design of new unit processes as well as their ...
In this group physico-chemical and chemical thermodynamic principles, proces technology and methods of analytical chemistry are used in studies related to environmental problems. Research topics are: a. Physico-chemical treatment of process water, drinking water and wastewater and of solvent streams by the use of membrane processes. Currently mainly nanofiltration and pervaporation are studied (also in hybrid processes e.g. with ...
Mass production is giving way to customised production.
Production environments must be able to produce in a highly modular fashion,at the lowest possible operational cost and without any machine downtime.
Customers expect zero-defect products and total flexibility. Moreover, systems are becoming increasingly autonomous. Examples include fruit-picking robots,autonomous vehicles in logistics, unmanned patrol boats, and many ...
The Movement Control & Neuroplasticity Research Group consists of the following two reseach units, each with their own research focus:
1) The primary focus of Motor Control Laboratory is to understand the principles underlying control of human movement with special emphasis on coordination and cognitively demanding motor tasks in association with sensory processing. Furthermore, we have developed a long-standing interest in skill ...
The Flanders Make AnSyMo/CoSys core lab has three researchpriorities:
1. Design andTesting for Cyber-Physical Systems: ensure that autonomously operating machines adhere to the appropriatesafety standards, focused on methods and tools for a cost-effective designprocess (profs. De Meulenaere, Denil, De Meyer, Vangheluwe)
2. Adaptive,Optimal Embedded Control: boost controlefficiency by integrating the use of available system ...
The division PMA (Production techniques, Machine design and Automation) is unique in its multi-disciplinary system approach in the study and development of innovative products, production processes and intelligent (production) machines. Research programs are primarily defined based on social (industrial) relevance. In addition, fundamental contributions are made to the underlying scientific disciplines (computational dynamics, optimization, ...
Operations management Mission statement and study domain In accordance with the mission statement of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven and the Department of Applied Economics, the mission of the research group Operations Management involves the delivery of academic education, the performance of fundamental research and the delivery of services in the domain of operations management. Operations management can be generally described as the ...
