Evolving System Dynamics: The value of LLM Integration in Modern Modeling Practices. KU Leuven
Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-4 has an estimated 1.8 x 10^9 parameters, trained on every piece of written data found on the internet in 2021. The data is mostly written by humans, humans who hold mental models of reality. This thesis aims to identify the value of exploring the use of LLMs in each part of the system dynamics modelling process. Including conceptualization of mental models, formulation of simulations, testing and ...
Rethinking Property Through Environmental Duties: Towards a Further Integration of Environmental, Constitutional and Property Law? KU Leuven
This doctoral research concerns the relationship between the right to property and environmental protection. This relationship serves as a starting point to analyse how property rights are affected by environmental regulations and to consider the role property rights can play in achieving a more sustainable use and protection of natural resources. More specifically, the potential of environmental constitutionalism will be analysed as a way to ...

Integration of Spatial Transcript- and Proteomics Techniques with Pan-cancer single cell RNA-sequencing data to interrogate the impact of immunotherapy on the Tumor Microenvironment (TME) KU Leuven
The use of a spatial omics integrating spatial transcriptomics, spatial proteomics and pan-cancer scRNA-seq data, will create a better understanding of the TMEs and the molecular mechanisms underlying response to ICB therapy. Therefore, my PhD thesis will aim to 1) develop and test pipelines that process spatial omics data and integrate scRNA-seq data in a spatial context; 2) identify cellular neighborhoods and analyze intercellular ...
Integration of molecular and cellular phenotypes: Optimizing complementarity of RNA-Seq and High Content Microscopy for the CRISParray platform Ghent University
One reason for drug failure at clinical stage is the lack of data supporting the drug target. We established a target screening and characterization platform, CRISParray, for arrayed high-throughput target perturbation with CRISPR technology, followed by RNA-sequencing. Owing to our platform’s arrayed configuration, we are in a unique position to integrate additional readouts. Studies have demonstrated the complementary between high content ...
From policy gaps to policy innovations. Strengthening the well-being and integration pathways of refugee families KU Leuven
REFUFAM will therefore provide evidence-based recommendations on how government policies and support practices can be reformed to better facilitate refugees’ overall integration process. Our interdisciplinary research design builds on three interlinked approaches, each drawing on a different set of methods: a legal-political approach to the institutional configuration of Belgium’s of asylum and integration policies; a psychosocial approach to ...
Knowledge integration pesticides Research Institute for Nature and Forest
(1) the implementation of the Flemish Action Plan on Wild Pollinators, more specifically the study of the impact of the use of pesticides on Flemish nature and the achievement of the (European) conservation targets, and
(2) the response to the summons by 5 nature and environmental NGOs concerning the unsatisfactory transposition of EU Directive 2009/128/EG on the ...
