Advanced 2D and 3D chemical imaging using laser ablation ICP - mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) and complementary multimodal techniques via image fusion Ghent University
Laser ablation-ICP-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) can be used for visualizing the distribution of (trace) elements across any solid material with high spatial resolution. The recent development of low-dispersion LA cells has provided gains in throughput and sensitivity of 2-3 orders of magnitude compared to conventional cells. The project focuses on development of methodologies for high-resolution 2D & 3D imaging of samples of a wide range ...
REsource Management in Peri-urban AReas: Going Beyond Urban Metabolism Ghent University
A shift towards a more circular economy is crucial to achieve more sustainable and inclusive growth. Our objective is to provide local and regional authorities with an innovative transdisciplinary open source geodesign decision support environment (GDSE) developed and implemented in living labs in six metropolitan areas. The GDSE allows creating integrated, place-based eco-innovative spatial development strategies aiming at a quantitative ...
Ion substitution in hybrid perovskites: enhancing environmental stability and band gap tuning Hasselt University
Improving the performance of rock salt type cathodes for Li-ion batteries through control of the transition metal cation migration using redox reactions of the oxygen sublattice and Li-conductive coatings. University of Antwerp
Evaluation of the role of phosphodiesterase 7 and 10 in obsessivecompulsive disorders by positron emission tomography. University of Antwerp
Supramolecular structure-function relationships of naturally occurring antimicrobial peptides Ghent University
Very little is known about the structure-function relationship of the class of antimicrobial peptides known as CLPs, short for cyclic lipodepsipeptides. Thanks to recently developed NMR methodology within our lab, we demonstrated that self-assembly of the CLP pseudodesmin A into larger supramolecular, pore-like structures, provides the structural basis to explain its biological activity. To further explore this proposition and provide a more ...
