Micro-Technologies and Heterogeneous ADvanced Platforms for Implantable Medical Systems. KU Leuven
The μTHALYS project aims to create a technology platform that enables a next revolution by bringing microsystem technology to the next level in terms of integration, miniaturization and multifunctionality and applying this development to address pending needs in health care.
Several breakthrough materials, basic concepts and fabrication techniques will be developed based on silicon or going far beyond silicon: At the wafer scale ...
High Speed Communication Links Based on Heterogeneous Chips Ghent University
Optical links help connect the world. However, state-of-the-art optical-link technologies are struggling as people and businesses consume increasing amounts of information. Optical transceivers (which transmit and receive data) are particularly burdened as transmission rates intensify and data formatting techniques become more complex. The EU-funded COMb project has a plan: use a high-performing, cost-effective silicon nitride platform to ...
MAterials design at the eXascale. European Centre of Excellence in materials modelling, simulations, and design Ghent University
The main goal of MaX is to allow the pre-exascale and exascale computers expected in Europe in the 2020’s to meet the demands from a large and growing base of researchers committed to materials discovery and design. This goal will be achieved by:
i) an innovative software development model, based on the concept of separation of concerns, that will enable performance of the community codes on heterogeneous hardware architectures, ...
First principle molecular dynamics simulations for complex chemical transformations in nanoporous materials Ghent University
Chemical transformations in nanoporous materials are vital in many application domains, such as catalysis, molecular separations, sustainable chemistry,…. Model-guided design is indispensable to tailoring materials at the nanometer scale level. At real operating conditions, chemical transformations taking place at the nanometer scale have a very complex nature, due to the interplay of several factors such as the number of particles present in ...
Synthesis of Spirooxindoles and INdoles pharmaceuticals using Metal-Organic Frameworks KU Leuven
SINMOF is a pioneering and structured effort to comprehensively address the introduction of different immobilised isolated catalytic active sites in solid hybrid materials to overcome the metal losses occurring with state-of-the-art homogeneous catalysts employed in the pharmaceutical industry. The convenient use of hybrid metal-organic framework materials (MOFs) respect to traditional state-of-the-art porous solid materials is due to (a) ...
ZEOlites for the conversion of CO2 to fuels and chemicals KU Leuven
ZEOCO2 is a pioneering and structured effort to comprehensively study the introduction of well-positioned Zn, Cu and acidic catalytic active sites in zeolites to directly convert CO2 into fuels and chemicals in one step. This offers step economy due to the possibility of coupling the hydrogenation of CO2 with further C-C coupling within the same heterogeneous catalyst. The synthesis of cheap, stable and active zeolites with Zn sites ...
Active Building Blocks for Visible and Near-Infrared Applications on a Silicone Nitride Interposer Ghent University
VISSION aims to extend the silicon nitride (SiN) photonic integrated circuit (PIC) platform for the visible and near-infrared wavelength range (400 nm–1100 nm) with active building blocks including sources, detectors and modulators. The spectral range is the region of interest for a large number of life science applications, environmental sensing and atom based quantum technology. Concrete application examples are optical coherence ...
