Evaluation of the capabilities of isotopic analysis of the essential transition metals Fe, Cu and Zn in whole blood and blood serum for medical diagnosis Ghent University
Chromatographic isolation of the essential transition metals Fe, Cu and Zn from whole blood or blood serum for their subsequent isotopic analysis via MC-ICP-MS (multi-collector ICP – mass spectrometry). Comparison of results for a reference population with those for patient groups for evaluation of the diagnostic capabilities of isotopic analysis in this context. Targeted diseases include hemochromatosis, Crohn’s disease, Wilson’s disease and ...

Geometric, Electronic and Magnetic Properties of Transition Metal Doped Silicon Clusters, and Development of a Magnetic Deflection Setup KU Leuven
The aim of the work presented in this thesis is to provide deeper understanding on the geometric, electronic, and magnetic properties of gas phase clusters as a function of size and composition using a combination of the spectroscopic techniques and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The thesis is divided into four parts. A review of recent research on the structural identification of doped silicon clusters is given in Part I. In ...
Synthesis and catalytic properties of transition metal complexes under solvent-free conditions Ghent University
This project proposes the development of solvent-less synthetic strategies for
1) the formation of carbene-transition metal complexes.
2) the development of transition metal mediated organic synthesis.
The aim is to provide greener alternatives to catalyst synthesis and catalytic processes.
2D transition metal dichalcogenides for beyond silicon logic devices: improving the Metal/MoS2 interface through molecular doping. KU Leuven
2D materials have demonstrated enormous potential for a great number of applications such as sensors, spintronic, superconductors, and (photo)electronic devices. From these 2D materials, semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (MX2) are of special interest for electronic logic devices such as Field Effect Transistors (FETs), given their interesting properties such as ultra-thin bodies and high electronic band gap that could enable ...
