Organisations
Zoology Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The research activities in the Zoology research unit basically concern the study of genetical and phenotypical variation of Men. During the past decades, our research activities were mainly focused on problems of human growth and development. Studies of genetic influences on growth and maturation through the analysis of familial and twin data have thrown more light on the impact of heredity and environment on human development. Various ...
Programming Technology Lab Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The Programming Technology Lab (Prog for short) is a research and teaching lab within the VUB's Department of Computer Science. From a research perspective, Prog has always been active in the broad domains of software engineering and programming language engineering. In the former domain, our research consists of designing, implementing and formalising meta level techniques that support programming and modelling activities. In the latter ...
Process Engineering for Sustainable Systems Section KU Leuven
In this group physico-chemical and chemical thermodynamic principles, proces technology and methods of analytical chemistry are used in studies related to environmental problems. Research topics are: a. Physico-chemical treatment of process water, drinking water and wastewater and of solvent streams by the use of membrane processes. Currently mainly nanofiltration and pervaporation are studied (also in hybrid processes e.g. with ...
Quantum Solid State Physics (QSP) KU Leuven
* Multilayers and Superlattices : Electrical transport, magnetic, optical and structural properties of superconducting and magnetic artificially layered materials. * High Temperature Superconductors : Structural, electrical and magnetic properties of thin films, multilayers, single crystals and ceramics. * Magnetic Perovs-kites: electrical and magnetic properties, CMR measurements, structural characterization. * Mesoscopic systems : Normal ...
Soft Matter, Rheology and Technology (SMaRT) KU Leuven
The aim of the Soft Matter, Rheology and Technology (SMaRT) division is to foster and conduct research on soft matter and the rheology of complex fluids on a fundamental level as well as their application to technical processes. Such complex fluids span a wide range of materials, including polymer solutions, melts and blends, emulsions, colloidal dispersions, surfactant solutions, etc.
A characteristic feature of such complex fluids and ...
Computational Modelling Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The Computational Modeling Lab, COMO, is headed by Prof. dr. Bernard Manderick and Prof. Dr. Ann Nowé, and has on average 10 PhD students. The research group focuses on the one hand on the modelling of natural phenomena, and on the other hand on developing algorithms for complex problem solving inspired by these natural phenomena. COMO has experience in a wide range of learning techniques such as Reinforcement Learning, Genetic Algorithms, ...
Process Engineering for Sustainable Systems (ProcESS) KU Leuven
The Process Engineering for Sustainable Systems (ProcESS) section is dedicated to contribute to sustainable chemical processing by
- developing intensified and integrated flow sheets
- using continuous reactors and separators
- with alternative energy forms.
Process intensification and integration are key to the overall approach of our research as we aim at the design of new unit processes as well as their ...

Analysis KU Leuven
The research in this section is divided into two research groups. The group of classical analysis is mainly interested in orthogonal polynomials, special functions, approximation theory, Riemann-Hilbert problems and random matrices, whereas the functional analysis group focusses its attention on C*-algebras, von Neumann algebras, topological dynamics, geometric and measurable group theory and subfactors . There are however important synergies ...
