ELECTRICAL SCANNING PROBE MICROSCOPY (eSPM) – Advanced nanoscale morphological and multifunctional electrical characterization in controlled environment for the study of solar cells to biological materials Hasselt University
Computational structural characterisation on the nanoscale Ghent University
In this project, we aim to computationally characterize the structural and thermodynamic properties of new materials on the nanoscale. Therefore, new (semi-)analytical models will be developed for the thermodynamic potential of empty as well as guest-loaded nanoporous materials under realistic conditions as function of the thermodynamic state variables in various ensembles. These models will be parameterized using the output from advanced ...
Tenure track professorship in computational structural characterisation at the nanoscale Ghent University
A tenure track appointment grants one the privilege of focusing primarily on research for a period of 5 years, with a limited teaching load.

Radiation Hardened Aging Resilient Digital Integrated Circuits in Nanoscale CMOS Technology KU Leuven
long-term reliability of recent CMOS technologies is impacted by different intrinsic degradation mechanisms that progressively alter their electrical characteristics (BTI, HCI, TDDB...). Due to the ongoing aggressive scaling process, those mechanisms exhibit significant dispersions related to the process details and variability. The parametric evolution induced by those mechanisms constitutes a reliability risk, both directly, by compromising ...
Electrodeposited silicon films on nanoporous metals for Li-ion battery anodes: linking nanoscale structure to macroscale performance Hasselt University
Towards a next generation of catalytic supports with nanoscale ordering: functionalized mesoporous polymers and organosilicates Ghent University
At the moment, there is a huge interest in ordered, mesoporous, non-silica materials, because of their potential as heterogeneous catalysts and absorbents. In this project, we will synthesize and characterize two brand new families of such materials: mesoporous ordered polymers and mesoporous ordered organosilicates. Both types of materials will have maino, vinyl or styrene functions incorporated in their structure. These materials will be ...
