Research in the domain of plant- and vegetation ecology University of Antwerp
Ore-forming processes of the gold mineralization in the Western Domain of the Karagwe-Ankole belt, Central Africa. KU Leuven
The proposed research focusses on the detailed study of gold mineralization in the Maniema Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and aims at integrating the results in a metallogenic model for the Western Domain of the Karagwe-Ankole Belt (KAB). In-depth knowledge on the formation processes of Au mineralization in this area is incomplete. The current consensus is that gold mineralization in the Karagwe-Ankole Belt can be ...
Research in the domain of toxicology University of Antwerp
New and innovative antimicrobial solutions against microbial biofilms and fungal infections, with applications in the medical and agrochemical domain KU Leuven
The primary aim of this IOF mandate is the identification of novel antifungal and/or antibiofilm molecules. Focus is on novel molecules or combinations of molecules that are effective against resistant fungi and/or fungal biofilms; and on the unraveling of their mode of action. This research forms the basis for valorisation in the following domains (i) treatment/control of fungal infections in human, animal, and plant context; as well as (ii) ...
Advanced Computational Methods for Real-time Analysis of Time Dependent Nanomaterials. University of Antwerp
Multivariate time series forecasting and classification using intrinsically explainable machine learning models to solve real-world problems. Hasselt University
Dual-band fibered confocal fluorescence microscope for the intravital interrogation of deep tissues and organs in real time and with cellular resolution KU Leuven
Cell signaling in space and time KU Leuven
Being a systems biologist with roots in physics, mathematics and engineering, I aim to integrate experimental biology with computations and theory in a synergistic way to understand biological systems in their complexity. I look forward to setting up collaborations within the CMM department and KU Leuven in this context. Excellent progress has been made towards mapping out the interactions between proteins and genes. In well−defined ...
Balancing protein nutrition in pigs: A data-driven path to sustainability Ghent University
To effectively minimize nutrient wastage, it's essential to reduce nutrient consumption without hampering animal performance. Precision feeding embodies the current state-of-the-art methodology to accomplish this. Here, nutrient requirements are calculated daily for each individual, and feed composition is adapted to match these requirements. Although precision feeding demonstrates a significant potential to reduce nutrient losses, we foresee ...
