Improving non-invasive diagnostics of cardiovascular disease using ultrasound: development of new blood flow and vessel wall quantification techniques using multiphysics modeling and in-vivo validation studies. Ghent University
Vascular applications of medical ultrasound still show severe limitations. A multiphysical simulation tool was previously developed to support the development of new techniques. This project will use our simulationmodel to develop vascular strain imaging, a highly useful tool when screening for vulnerable arterial lesions (e.g. plaques). Both conventional and new imaging approaches will be explored using human and murine data.
A Multiphysics and Multiscale Quantum-Mechanics/Electromagnetics (QM/EM) Modeling Framework for Nanodevices Ghent University
A novel multiscale multiphysics modeling tool will be constructed for the accurate simulation of new nanodevices (based on carbon nanotubes, graphene, fullerenes). The simulation engine combines the rigorous solution of Maxwell’s equations, correctly describing all electromagnetic phenomena,
with either the nonrelativistic Schrödinger equation or the relativistic Dirac equation, rigorously accounting for the quantum mechanical ...
Multi-scale and multi-physics modeling of cerebral autoregulation KU Leuven
Cerebral autoregulation (CA) is the body's ability to maintain a constant blood supply when perfusion pressure changes in the brain. A disturbed CA can be the result of various pathologies and often leads to further complications. Despite its great clinical importance, the mechanisms behind CA are still incompletely understood. As a result, it is also unclear how best to intervene in patients with disturbed autoregulation. Studying ...
Multiscale and multi-physics modeling for advanced magnetic memories KU Leuven
The need for digital data storage solutions has been increasing exponentially over the last decade with the advance of connected objects to the internet. To sustain this growth, there is an urgent need to develop energy efficient, reliable, and sustainable digital memory building blocks that to go beyond the current ubiquitous Random-Access Memories (RAM). This project aims at contributing to this challenge by helping the development of new ...
Developing a multiphysics computational model to support thermosonics for efficient defect visualization KU Leuven
In recent years, thermosonics has gained a tremendous amount of interest as one of the popular Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) techniques in order to localise a possible internal defect. In general, NDT techniques gather information about the inside of a material, without destroying the material, or potentially enlarging the present damage. In the specific case of thermosonics, the studied sample is first activated by an ultrasonic ...
TRACESpace: Multiphysics challenges in the Study of the Sun-Earth Connection KU Leuven
Advanced modelling and characterization for power semiconductor materials and technologies KU Leuven
The proposed project AddMorePower aims to advance X-ray- and electron-probe related characterization techniques to make them quantitative and automated tools for the power semiconductor industry, and to refine modelling (using MODA) and FAIR data-management methods to enhance and efficiently use characterization data (using CHADA). Thereby, AddMorePower will promote the materials integration and development for European power semiconductor ...
