Solving Inverse Scattering Using Deep Learning KU Leuven
Chemical Imaging of Biological Systems by Mass Spectrometry Imaging-enhanced Coherent Raman Scattering Microscopy KU Leuven
The functioning of biological systems is made possible through intricate interactions between cells that make up the tissues and the interplay between diverse classes of molecules that make up the cells. Dysregulation of this ecosystem typically leads to disease. Recent advances in spatial omics approaches have enabled a detailed mapping of the molecular composition of tissues with retention of spatial information. One of the emerging ...
Precision physics with W and Z bosons: vector boson scattering, effective field theory, luminosity Ghent University
Despite its large success in describing a wide range of results obtained at human-built experiments, the standard model (SM) of particle physics is known to be incomplete, and thus the quest for new physics beyond the SM (BSM) is ongoing. A crucial tool is the precision measurement of SM properties to constrain small deviations from SM predictions that could hint at BSM physics at much larger energy scales. In this project, the vector boson ...
Polarization-resolved interferometric scattering microscopy Ghent University
In this project, we will build an interferometric scattering microscope with polarization resolution. Interferometric scattering microscopy is a recent technique that exploits the interference between scattered light from a small object and reflected light from a substrate to create contrast for samples as small as a single protein. We will apply the microscope to image and characterize the morphology of nanoscale objects of interest in the ...
Study of nucleation and crystal growth by X-ray and harmonic light scattering Ghent University
Rationalizing dynamic nanoparticle restructuring as probed by advanced in situ X-ray scattering Ghent University
Metal nanoparticle (NP) catalysts are the key enablers of durable chemical technologies, opening the road towards carbon circularity. The atomic structure of NPs, and in particular the surface configuration, governs reactivity where adding or removing a single atom can have profound impact. To date, however, state-of-the-art characterization tools do not allow facile investigation of the 3D NP structure under relevant (reaction) conditions. ...
Determination of the 3D hemispheric light scattering properties of materials for a broad range of research applications KU Leuven
Multimodal Coherent Raman Scattering /Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy system KU Leuven
Advanced multimodal microscopy system for super-multiplexed
high resolution subcellular imaging of metabolic processes and biomolecules in live cells, organoids, cancer tissues and organisms based on Coherent Raman Scattering (CRS) vibrational imaging and Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM).
Structured low-rank representations for frequency-dependent wave scattering simulations using boundary element methods KU Leuven
The numerical simulation of wave phenomena is increasingly
relevant in several disciplines of science and engineering, including
acoustics, electromagnetics and medical imaging. Boundary element
methods (BEM) are a popular simulation tool for wave problems,
often applied to integral equations in the frequency domain. In the
last three decades, enormous research efforts have went into
efficient BEM solvers at a ...
