Sample size planning for intensive longitudinal designs KU Leuven
Plenty of research focuses nowadays on understanding how psychological processes dynamically evolve within persons. To capture these processes, data are collected through intensive longitudinal designs (ILD) and modeled with time series approaches. A popular approach is Vector Autoregressive (VAR(1)) modeling of order 1, in which observations at the current measurement occasion are modeled as a function of the observations at the previous ...

Interior rotation, mixing, and ages of a sample of Slowly Pulsating B stars from gravitymode asteroseismology KU Leuven
The study of stars forms the basis of many research fields in astrophysics, from exoplanet systems to the formation and evolution of galaxies. Stars are the chemical factories of the Universe, responsible for the production of heavier elements in their cores throughout their evolution. These resulting products of the internal nucleosynthesis are fed back to the interstellar medium through stellar winds, which chemically enrich the stellar ...
Evaluation of sample preparation methods for the monitoring of eAOP degradation products KU Leuven
Firstly, please allow me to introduce my academic information. I have been admitted as being a PhD student to the program of Doctoral Training in Biomedical Sciences in Leuven in Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences as well as being a Marie-Curie Innovative Training Network (ITN) holder (H2020 MSCA-ETN INNOVEOX: https://innoveox.eu/). Besides, my PhD project is one part of the major project named H2020 MSCA-ETN INNOVEOX (https://innoveox.eu) ...
Integrated versatile platform for sample preparation, 2D gas chromatographic separation and Orbitrap mass spectrometric identification and quantification of (semi-)volatile organic compounds in environmental, food and biological samples Ghent University
The understanding of the function, fate and behavior of volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds, (semi-)VOCs, in natural and technical environments is crucial to cope with several challenges related to sustainable development (SDGs) we face today in our society. Many of these compounds are important air and water contaminants and pose a significant threat to health and environment. They are also defense-related secondary metabolites in ...
Easier, better, faster, stronger: developing statistical methods for conducting sample size planning in intensive longitudinal designs KU Leuven
Easier, better, faster, stronger: developing statistical methods for conducting sample size planning in intensive longitudinal designs KU Leuven
The use of intensive longitudinal studies has skyrocketed in recent years as it allows researchers to investigate within-person psychological dynamic processes. However, intensive longitudinal research lacks an overarching framework to inform researchers on how to optimally design a study. Specifically, a key question that researchers need to address is how to select the sample size to be able to answer research questions and derive reliable ...
Novel microfluidic technologies for forensic sample investigation KU Leuven
My research is situated within the context of forensic inquiries into sexual assault cases involving male perpetrators and female victims. A primary challenge in this domain revolves around the acquisition of high-quality material from crime scenes for perpetrator identification. Specifically, the focus of this investigation is on touch evidence samples, gathered from objects where DNA has been deposited through handling or wearing. However, ...
Topics in discrete choice experiments: Screening, framing, and sample size selection KU Leuven
Discrete Choice Experiments are now used in almost all fields to study choice behavior. The methods to design and analyze those experiments have been investigated and improved over the years, allowing researchers to yield more accurate and reliable information without putting a larger burden on the respondents. Despite these advancements, the literature on choice modeling recognizes that several areas are still open for improvement. In this ...
