Integrated III-V-on-silicon-nitride mode-locked lasers for frequency comb generation in telecom and frequency metrology applications Ghent University
Optical frequency combs have become a cornerstone of frequency metrology and are now available as commercial systems based on pulsed fiber lasers. Since the Nobel prize in physics was awarded to John L. Hall and Theodor W. Hänsch in 2006, the application space for optical frequency combs has dramatically increased. The use of these combs is currently being studied for the use in ultra-fast acquisition molecular spectroscopy, high-speed and ...

'Every thunder means something’. Meteorology, culture and the self in Late Antiquity Ghent University
Located at the intersection of cultural history and history of science, this project studies the cultural embedment of meteorology (that is, approaches to the prediction of weather and the explanation of the causes of meteorological phenomena) in Late Antiquity (4th-8th c.). Whilst meteorology has received a great deal of attention for Classical Antiquity, there is virtually no scholarship on the topic for Late Antiquity. The project intends ...
Unravelling EMT-controlled aetiology and chemotherapy resistance of ovarian carcinosarcoma Ghent University
Ovarian carcinosarcoma (OCS) is the most aggressive histological subtype of ovarian cancer. Its poor prognosis is mainly due to diagnosis at a late, advanced stage and chemotherapy resistant relapses. In this project, we seek to unravel the complex nature of this biphasic cancer consisting of both epithelial/ carcinoma and mesenchymal/sarcoma components. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition is considered the crucial process for the ...
You too? No way! Rape mythology applied to credibility assessments of applications based on sexual or gender-based violence in the European asylum procedure Ghent University
This research will study the concept of ‘rape mythology’ in the asylum procedure. The key reason for the refusal of asylum applications based on sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) is their non-credibility. These credibility assessments are often based on stereotypical, superficial, erroneous, or inappropriate perceptions of gender. In the criminal justice system, such perceptions have been conceptualised as ‘rape myths’: prejudicial, ...
Mereology, deontic logic and collective obligations. KU Leuven
In my PhD, I am studying the scalar properties of the logical space induced by generalized quantifiers expressing normativity (too few, too much), evaluation (many, few), proportionality (most, at least). This work is carried out within the formal framework of Bitstring semantics which offers a systematic account of the underlying structure induced by formulas of arbitrary fragments. I apply this formal framework to the study of the ...
