Time parallel time integration methods for multiscale systems, with application in uncertainty quantification and optimization KU Leuven
Time parallel methods iteratively refine a cheap but inaccurate time integration by computing a sequence of corrections on different portions of the time domain in parallel. Such methods promise extra opportunities for parallellisation on exascale high performance computing architectures. In this PhD, we will study time parallel time integration methods for multiscale systems and apply them in the context of uncertainty quantification and ...
Mud and sand transport under current-and-wave action in coastal areas: numerical simulation and guidelines for its integration into decision making processes KU Leuven
Sand and mud sediments play a central role in coastal ecosystem services such as abundant food supply, ease of transportation, and safe and healthy locations for human settlements. But due the complexity of processes such as tides, waves, sediment transport, etc. mixed sediments are often difficult to account for in applications such as coastal protection, port maintenance and impact assessment.
This project approaches said complexity, ...
Optimal Integration of Thermal Energy Storage and Conversion in Fourth Generation Thermal Networks KU Leuven
This dissertation investigates the integration of thermal energy storage and conversion systems in fourth generation thermal networks, with a focus on district heating networks. Energy storage, more specifically in the form of heat or cold, will play a crucial role in future energy systems where large shares of renewable and residual energy sources are included. Due to the variability and seasonality of particular renewable sources, energy ...
Phygital Heritage: Communicating Built Heritage Information through the Integration of Digital Technology into Physical Reality KU Leuven
Built heritage forms a unique asset by expressing the richness and diversity of our history, possessing vast amounts of information that varies from factual and explicit, to more tacit and embedded. Tacit knowledge of built heritage is typically more challenging to communicate to visitors in understandable and engaging ways due to its implicit and abstract character. Therefore, we investigate how built heritage information can be disclosed ...

Integration of geoscientific data and uncertainties in techno-economic forecasting on CO2 capture and storage KU Leuven
Global warming and the associated climate change can, with overwhelming evidence, be directly linked to the increasing emission of greenhouse gasses by human activities, with CO2 being the most important one. The increase of the mean global temperature has many effects on the natural environment, of which some are considered to be very harmful to the current human society. Under the 2015 Paris agreement, it was therefore internationally ...
Deepening the Methodology behind Data Integration and Dimensionality Reduction: Application in Life Sciences KU Leuven
The problems of high dimensionality and heterogeneity of data always raise
lots of challenges in computational biology and chemistry. As the size of data
sets increase, as well their complexity, dimensionality reduction and advanced
analytics will gain its importance. The past 10 years or so, data integration has
become an active area of research in the field of machine learning, bioinformatics
and ...
Short-Term Demand Response in Electricity Generation Planning and Scheduling - Facilitating Wind Power Integration KU Leuven
Different methodologies are suggested, allowing the ...
