Hydraulics and Geotechnics KU Leuven
The Hydraulics Section of KU Leuven is active in the following three domains: (1) urban and river hydrology and hydraulics (prof. Patrick Willems), (2) coastal and estuarine hydrodynamics (prof. Jaak Monbaliu), and (3) sediment mechanics (prof. Erik Toorman). Research priorities are:
Urban and river hydrology and hydraulics. Key words: river hydrological and hydraulic modelling, urban drainage, hydrological extremes (floods, ...
Laboratory of Neurophysiology in Neurodegenerative Disorders (VIB- KU Leuven) KU Leuven
Neuronal and neurodegenerative disorders are extremely debilitating conditions, affecting millions of people worldwide. For most of these diseases, there are no cures and only symptomatic treatments exist. We are working hard to understand the mechanistic basis of these diseases with the ultimate hope to find cures.
We have uncovered exciting new avenues in the context of Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, ALS and dystonia and ...
