The Architectural Engineering Section aims for innovation in the design of buildings by approaching architecture from an engineering point of view. The emphasis is on the technical aspects of architecture: structure, materials, services, and comfort requirements are considered in a multidisciplinary setting in order quantify, assess, and improve the quality, cost, and sustainability of buildings and the built environment. In order to achieve ...
The Materials Technology Cluster groups the application driven research activities and services to society at the different campuses of KU Leuven in the field of materials technologies. The cluster plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between fundamental and conceptual research on the one hand and industrial valorisation and implementation on the other, in both research-driven and demand-driven innovation contexts.
The Research Group Quantitative Psychology and Individual Differences focuses on the interplay between substantive-psychological research and the development of novel formal models (including associated procedures for model estimation and testing). On the basis of substantive questions new formal models are being developed; in turn, these models are estimated and tested in substantive research, and contribute there to a breeding ground for ...
Lab4U performs research on the development of new technologies and their implementation in existing (bio) chemical processes aiming a transformation from batch to flow. The research group focuses on characterization, development and control of chemical reactors and separation units. Keywords include ultrasound and alternative energy, process intensification, green chemicals, milli-flow reactors, separation processes and inline process ...
The research focuses on 3 spearheads: engineering, new materials and mechatronics.
The Acoustics & Vibration Research Group (AVRG) central goal is to conduct fundamental and applied research in the broad field of Acoustics & Vibration, with special emphasis on Experimental and Operational Modal Analysis, Frequency-Domain Maximum Likelihood Identification of Multivariable Systems, Damage Assessment, Optical Measurement Techniques and Sound Quality.
The VUB Astronomy and Astrophysics department is involved in research at the forefront of the field. We study the origins of cosmic rays, which tell us about the most energetic events in the universe (thousands of times more energy than man-made experiments can produce). We observe and model radio galaxies with supermassive black holes at their centers. We look for elusive dark matter by studying the movement of the gaseous components of ...
