Morphodynamic equilibria in tidal basins: A 2D idealized model study on their identification, stability and sensitivity to natural and anthropogenic changes in external forcings Ghent University
Psychometric validation of the work disability - Functional Assessment Battery (WD-FAB) for Belgium Ghent University
The project consists a large field aimed at the psychometric validation and calibration of the Dutch and French language versions of the “Work Disability- Functional Assessment Battery” (WD-FAB) for Computer Adaptive Testing, with the purpose of implementation by the Belgian social security institutions for supporting return-to-work trajectories after health problems.

The role of sample characteristics in the stability of value-added estimates of school effects: sample size, student mobility and sample heterogeneity. KU Leuven
Many countries use value added (VA)-estimates as indicators of the effectiveness of their schools. A major issue is the instability of schools' VA-estimates over successive years. Instable VA-estimates may indicate a lack of reliability and are therefore less usable for intended purposes, e.g., identification of (in)effective schools or school choice. A challenge is to provide evidence of the characteristics that drive the artificial ...
Design and Stability Analysis of Grid-Forming Controllers for High-Voltage Direct Current Applications based on Modular Multilevel Converters KU Leuven
Power systems worldwide are under a rapid change towards carbon neutrality, as the energy transition is pushing for a switch from traditional generation based on large rotating machines relying on fossil fuels to power electronic-based generation interfacing renewable energy. In addition, the power transmission network is also changing towards a power electronics-based network, with the rapid increase in high-voltage direct current (HVDC) ...
Influence of prosthetic design, alignment strategy and robotics on stability in total knee arthroplasty KU Leuven
The goal of this doctoral thesis is to investigate some important questions in the field of total knee arthroplasty: what is the influence of the prosthetic design (CR, PS, bicruciate retaining) on the stability of the knee? How can choosing the right prosthetic design and alignment method as well as the use of robotics aid in optimizing patient satisfaction? Different study designs (literature studies, cadaveric studies and clinical trials ...
Interface Stability of Novel Sulfide-Based Solid-State Electrolytes in All-Solid-State Lithium-Sulfur Batteries KU Leuven
In order to solve the bottleneck problems of sulfide-based solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries (poor carrier channels on the cathode, poor interfacial stability on the anode, and poor air stability of the sulfide-based solid-state electrolyte), and considering the advantages of MOFs, such as high porosity, uniform pore distribution, and good stability. Based on my personal research background in lithium-sulfur and lithium metal batteries, I ...
ENGAGED – The effect of ion migration on the long-term stability of tandem solar cells and the tunnel junction Hasselt University
Stability and singular foliations KU Leuven
This proposal addresses questions in geometry using some tools from algebra.
The first part of the project involves geometric objects with singularities, called singular foliations and singular subalgebroids; think of a field of arrows of the plane, which at certain points degenerate to have length zero. It is known that when no singularities are present, such an object has a global counterpart, which is a smooth object that describes ...
