Pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment: chemical trace analysis, environmental behaviour and ecological effects Ghent University
Pharmaceuticals are internationally considered as emerging environmental micorpollutants. This project aims at gaining innovative insights into the environmental partitioning and ecotoxicological effects of the studied pharmaceuticals. Therefore, innovative chemical analytical methods will be developed, optimized and validated to measure trace concentration levels of selected pharmaceuticals in aqueous and solid environmental matrices.

A Functional-Cognitive Perspective on Social Modulation of Imitation in Individuals With and Without Autism Spectrum Disorder Ghent University
Evidence on social modulation of imitation is mixed and inconclusive, due to the absence of a strong theoretical framework and low ecological validity of previous studies. With this project, we aim to resolve both issues, by combining a functional-cognitive framework with an ecologically valid virtual-reality task, to investigate social modulation of imitation in individuals with and without Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Development and validation of a dynamic model describing the stem diameter variations related to water and sugar transport in woody plants Ghent University
The aim of this project is to extend an existing model which describes stem diamter variations related to water transport and growth with sugar transport. This extended model will describe the dynamic volume changes of the xylem and phloem tissue related to water transport, phloem transport, loading and unloading of sugars and irreversible growth. Experimental setups will be built to quantify the dynamics between sugar transport and stem ...
Drone-informed microclimate modelling to improve species distribution models KU Leuven
The importance of microclimate as a driver of many biological phenomena has gained renewed attention in recent years, leading to a paradigm shift towards microclimate ecology. However, research in this field is strongly biased towards forest ecosystems, based on the premise that the difference between the available macroclimate data and microclimate conditions is largest in forests, due to the buffering capacity of tree canopies. However, ...
