Dynamics and phase behaviour of (non-)ideal liquid-crystals under shear KU Leuven
We will study the effect of polydispersity, flexibility, chirality and frozen in kinks on bulk flow behaviour in different LC
phases, comparing results between industrial and model systems. Large oscillatory strains and steady shear flow will be
applied to study shear-induced alignment of isotropic states and the distortion and melting of ordered LC phases. We will
use novel experimental, in situ techniques, combining rheology ...

Temporal dynamics in tree-based models and applications to lapse behaviour in life insurance KU Leuven
This thesis, « Temporal dynamics in tree-based models and applications to lapse behaviour in life insurance », delves into the application of novel statistical models and strategies to address lapse behavior in life insurance. This work is an amalgamation of two introductive parts and three research articles, each offering a unique perspective and various contributions to the understanding of lapse management and the inclusion of a time ...

Mining the bibliome to help unravel the dynamic behaviour of molecular networks Ghent University
This projects aims to develop large-scale text mining algorithms able to process the whole bibliome automatically. These methods will be designed with a specific aim to support network analysis and data integration. The resulting textual data set will be integrated with experimental data sources to study the dynamic behaviour of molecular networks.
The constituive behaviour of granular soils under repeated dynamic loading Ghent University
The aim of the project is to develop an advanced numerical method for the calculation of the dynamic behaviour of granular soils under repeated small amplitude dynamic loading. As opposed to phenomenological models, a micro-mechanical approach to the analysis of granular soils is followed. Furthermore, a homogenization approach is followed, allowing to tackle foundation settlement problems at the macro scale. The development of these ...
