Sustainable reduction reactions in water via in situ hydrogen gas production. University of Antwerp
Inorganic Electrosynthesis via the Oxygen Reduction Reaction KU Leuven
The process employs a gas diffusion cathode that (in most cases) allows the transport of oxygen into the electrochemical cell. At this electrode, a number of complex processes occur. The oxygen, the electrons and the electrolyte coincide to form a triple interphase. The (negative) potential applied will reduce oxygen to peroxide-related species that can in turn oxidize metal ions in the solution. Simultaneously in all the oxygen reduction ...
Model order reduction techniques for the prediction of railway induced vibrations in the built environment KU Leuven
The study of traffic induced vibration in the built environment resulted in the development of coupled finite element-boundary element (FE-BE) models that account for dynamic soil-structure interaction (SSI). These models are used to design vibration mitigation measures and to perform environmental impact studies. Parametric studies, performance optimization, or stochastic analysis, however, increase the dimension of the problem and ...
Model Order Reduction Techniques for the Prediction of Railway Induced Vibration in the Built Environment KU Leuven
Development of a PGD-based finite element formulation for track-soil interaction, resulting in a computational vademecum that can be used for parametric and stochastic analysis. Development of PGD-based methods to solve dynamic SSI problems at the source and the receiver.
Patient-friendly tumor sampling for the design, and reduction of the production time of a neoepitope dendritic cell vaccine for patients presenting with inoperable non small cell lung carcinoma (NEO4LUNG) Ghent University
Previously, we set up a clinical study in lung cancer patients and are currently acquiring the last follow-up data of all treated patients. In this study, patients undergoing surgery with curative intent (stage I and II), were treated with increasing dose of autologous dendritic cells (DCs) electroporated with patient-specific in vitro transcribed RNA (IVT-RNA) encoding 4-6 neoantigens. These neoantigens were selected based on information ...

Reduction of tonal wind turbine noise caused by spread in gearbox production KU Leuven
The aim of this PhD trajectory is to reduce the amount of wind turbine tonalities in the field caused by spread in gearbox production and false-positive gearboxes, which is a big issue in the wind industry. To this end, this PhD trajectory will develop a tonality prediction method from the source of the tonal noise being the gear excitation, over the transfer path of the gearbox and wind turbine up to the receiver outside of the turbine. Each ...
