Social trust and regulations in the frame of economic transactions KU Leuven
PhD research proposal: Social trust and regulations in the frame of economic transactions More and more attention has been given during the last two decades within various academic disciplines to the notion of trust (Uslaner 2018). Trust represents a bet upon the expected behaviour of others. It is part of a certain mind-set reigning within a society and reflected by the way in which its people behave. Societies have different propensities of ...
Measurement of vascular blood flow using high frame rate ultrasound imaging KU Leuven
This PhD project aims to detect vascular wall shear stress via Doppler ultrasonography for early diagnosis of atherosclerosis. Both high frame rate methodologies and state-of-art simulation techniques will be employed to optimize temporal resolution and generate synthetic data. Validation will be carried out on in-house developed pre-clinical flow phantoms.
Shear Wave Velocity using High Frame Rate Imaging in Paediatric Cardiology KU Leuven
Echocardiographic Shear Wave (SW) Elastography (SWE) is a novel technique for the non-invasive assessment of myocardial stiffness (MS). SW occur naturally at end-diastole after mitral valve closure and can be measured using high frame rate (HFR) echocardiography. The propagation velocity of shear waves is directly related to myocardial stiffness, so that SWE may become a powerful new method for the assessment of diastolic function in ...
Design of a reconfigurable MEMS-based switching matrix for an automated distribution frame in telecommunication applications Ghent University
The purpose of this research project is to design a very compact, cost-effective and robust MEMS-based automated distribution frame for the telephone copper network. It should be scalable from small-size street cabinets up to large-size central-office systems, offering a dynamically reconfigurable any-to-any connection between all incoming and uotgoing twisted pairs.
Climate change, news media and democratic debate: an investigation into frame sponsorship and media representation University of Antwerp

Frame computing for the simulation of oscillatory phenomena (Waves). KU Leuven
The research project covers three shutters: the representation of oscillatory functions, the evaluation of strong oscillating integrals and the development of frequency independent numerical methods. These shutters together form an integral approach to the simulation of high frequency wave problems.
