What causes cognitive decline in chemotherapy treated cancer survivors? An integrative study using multi-model brain imaging, cognitive testing, measurement of stress & inflammatory biomarkers. KU Leuven
Virtual Reality for the Tactile Internet Ghent University
The Tactile Internet envisions that in the near future we will be able to control remotely located infrastructure (such as robots) in real-time. This will be done only with the help of wearable sensors and a video to monitor the application. Examples of applications are tele-health or online gaming. Virtual Reality (VR) video streaming is best-suited to fulfill the immersive visual feedback loop. However, integrating VR in the Tactile ...
A complete drug regulatory guide for surgical interventions under general anesthesia Ghent University
This postdoctoral fellowship will provide a complete regulatory system for optimal control of
general anesthesia by means of all its three components: hypnosis, analgesia and neuromuscular
blockade but also to introduce the interaction with the hemodynamic system (cardio-regulatory
loops). Disturbances occurring in the operation theatre origin from surgical stimulation, for which
profiles are available. From the point ...

Magnetically Controlled Transformers: Analysis and Implementation in a Dual Active Bridge Converter KU Leuven
Controllable magnetic devices, such as variable inductors, are gaining prominence in modern power electronics applications. These devices offer a new degree of freedom in the design and optimisation process, contributing to increased power density and efficiency. While conventional implementations using parallel premagnetisation are well understood, the same cannot be said for variable transformers and alternative biasing techniques. ...
Developing machine learning algorithms for chromatographic method development KU Leuven
Chromatography is a laboratory technique to separate a mixture into its components. Unraveling the exact composition of a mixture is of great importance in a large number of disciplines, including the pharmaceutical industry, chemical industry, environmental analysis etc. The ultimate goal of this PhD project was to develop machine learning (ML) algorithms as tools to improve the separation of mixtures into their components, as well as ...

A grating interferometry add-on for high-resolution X-ray phase contrast and dark-field imaging at UGCT Ghent University
To extend the potential of the infrastructure of the Centre for X-ray Tomography (UGCT), a grating interferometry add-on is requested. With this equipment multi-modal X-ray imaging will be made possible, allowing to achieve a higher contrast in low-attenuating objects and to obtain information about structures well below the conventionally feasible spatial resolution.
How fasting and relief shape avoidance KU Leuven
Over the past decades, the science of fear has shown spectacular progress with the development of behavioral and neurological tools that provide almost complete control over fear in the rodent and human laboratory. The hope was that these pre-clinical insights would significantly improve the treatment of clinical anxiety, but substantial change stays away. Clinical psychologists have argued that the propensity to avoid all things feared is ...
