Nanoscale imaging of magnetic structures using scanning transmission electron microscopy (NanoMagSTEM). University of Antwerp
Functional Nano-scale imaging consortium (FUNCI-Nano) KU Leuven
The ability to observe and direct materials at the nanometer scale has opened an entirely new field of science and technology, and yielded breakthrough innovations such semiconductor industry or heterogeneous catalysts. Despite significant market potential, progress is often limited by acces to the highly specialized knowledge and instrumentation needed for for the development of improved functional nano−materials. The FUNCI−Nano consortium ...

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
Development of an imaging system, for videorate superresolution imaging KU Leuven
Fluorescence microscopy is a valued tool in the life and material sciences to visualize and interpret interactions on a micro- and nanoscale level. It has led to many discoveries and is continuously improving in terms of spatial and
temporal resolution, imaging speed of large samples and the amount of information that can be retrieved from raw data. In this work we sought to improve (super-resolution) fluorescence imaging, through the ...
Development of genetically encoded biosensors for super-resolution optical fluctuation imaging KU Leuven
Life is dynamic, defined by the ability to maintain homeostasis in ever-changing environments. On a cellular level, this requires an intricate regulatory network to manage activities and reactivities in response to external stimuli. Fluorescence microscopy provides us a window into this dynamic realm of subcellular signalling. The complex spatiotemporal regulation of this network can be investigated with fluorescent indicators, remarkable ...
Mapping Biological Activities Using Smart Functional Probes and Imaging. KU Leuven
This project seeks to develop diffraction−unlimited imaging of biosensors, creating activity maps with a diffraction−unlimited spatial resolution in living systems. We will meet this challenge using a two−pronged approach, focusing both on the development of sensors and new imaging strategies. Based on existing scaffolds, we will develop sensors that display strong photochromism, providing reversible fluorescence dynamics intrinsically suited ...
