Realtime Estimation and Prediction of Kinematics, Dynamics and Events for Assistive Robotic Devices: Contributions towards Assistance-as-needed KU Leuven
This PhD research focuses on the development of theories and software for assistive robot technology. The targeted audience are people that are weakened (e.g. by age, by a muscle disease, by a stroke, …) but are still able to move their limbs. The weakness however results in a decrease in mobility, which can lead to difficulties for the daily tasks.
The goal of the research is to investigate how robotic devices can assist these people ...

Legal transplant of Greek-Roman Law through the Syntagma of Blastares. KU Leuven
Today’s Roman law studies deal with the common legal history of Europe. This fundamental legal historical research gives actual lawyers a better understanding of differences between European legal systems and gives information about the possibilities to coordinate or to unify European law. In the last 40 years legal historians of “Roman law” studied the ius commune latinum in order to understand the West-European law. In the next ...
The crucial importance of timing of brain stimulation: Towards brain-oscillation-synchronized transcranial magnetic stimulation for the treatment of epilepsy. Ghent University
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique. It is a promising treatment method for patients with refractory epilepsy. However, the overall response rates remain modest and there is high inter-individual variability. Recent findings, mostly derived after motor cortex stimulation, suggest that the exact timing of the delivery of TMS pulses has crucial effects on the individual brain response. This ...
Serious games: development of a standard for measuring the effectiveness of games in terms of cognitive learning outcomes Ghent University
1. Introduction
A large heterogeneity in study designs assessing the effectiveness of digital game-based (DGBL) and questions raised regarding reliability and validity of certain study design characteristics has resulted in a need for a more common methodology. The aim of this Ph.D. project was to develop a standardized procedure for assessing the effectiveness of DGBL, with a primary focus on games that target cognitive learning ...

Strategieën van 'border management': de evolutie van de grenzen tussen de Habsburgse Nederlanden en de Verenigde Provincieën, 1580-1660 Strategies of border management: the evolution of the boundaries between the Habsburg Netherlands and the Dutch KU Leuven
The dissertation ‘Lawful Limits. Border Management and the Formation of the Habsburg-Dutch Boundary, ca. 1590-1665’ examines the creation of the territorial separation between the early modern Netherlands. Focussing on the Eighty Years War and the first years after the end of this conflict, the research examines the manifold actors who contributed to the emergence of the Habsburg Dutch-Border. Numerous people and institutions, including ...
