Multidiagnostic setup for the characterization of confined water with dielectric relaxation spectroscopy (DRS) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) KU Leuven
Confinement of water molecules in nanoporous materials results in an aqueous phase with different properties than bulk water due to several interactions with the pore walls. In this research, the role of nano-confined water structures in cosmetic and pharmaceutical applications, and in energy storage applications, i.e. in the form of clathrate hydrates, is characterized by means of newly developed NMR and XRD methodologies.
Screening the morphological landscape of amyloid aggregates with atomic force microscopy and infrared spectroscopy. KU Leuven
Amyloids exhibit structural diversity based on their aggregation states (oligomers, seeds, end state fibrils, etc.) and can form distinct structural polymorphs. Crucially, this diversity correlates with different pathological outcomes and rates of disease progression. This project aims at deepening our understanding of the inconsistencies between in vivo and in vitro amyloid formation and how amyloid polymorphism correlates with variable ...
Two Dimensional Electronic Spectroscopy for Advanced Materials Characterization. Ghent University
UGent is at the forefront of advanced optical materials research in Europe with a vast portfolio of advanced femtosecond optical spectroscopy setups managed by the promotors of this application. However, several essential processes ocurring on extreme time/energy scales escape our measurement capabilities. With this proposal, we will bridge the final gap with top institutes in Europe to become an attractive center for optical materials ...
