A geostatistical framework to forecast malaria incidence in the context of climatic events KU Leuven
Malaria is a life-threatening disease that causes a significant public health burden worldwide. Malaria incidences show considerable temporal and geographical variation, which can be linked at least partly to climatic conditions. Over the last twenty years, multiple Malaria Early Warning Systems (MEWS) have been developed. These systems primarily focus on short-term incidence predictions, but there is a growing demand to implement long-term ...

Assessing Feedback Responses of soil Erosion through the lens of variable Sediment connectivity during Extreme EveNts in semi-arid catchments. Ghent University
Soil resources in semi-arid regions are rapidly degrading, posing an imminent threat to food, water and livelihood security. Caveats in our understanding of geomorphological responses to extreme events are a major hindrance for attributing soil erosion and sediment flux dynamics to environmental drivers. Using the Burdekin and Makuyuni catchments as natural laboratories for semi-arid regions, the AsFoRESEEN project will assess feedback ...
Does biological sex determine the outcome of early life adverse events? What a leaky gut has to say? University of Antwerp
Starting Grant: Small scale collaborative research studies and events Ghent University
The project aims to collaborate with African researchers and writers outside of UGent in small-scale scientific research studies, and in dissemination of research output.
The Principal Investigator will present his research at external organisations, using funding from this grant.
Guest writers and researchers will be invited to pressent at Ghent, and may be hosted in Ghent for a short period of time. Student assistants will ...
Environmental Sustainability in the Sport Sector. A Perspective on Sport Organisations and Sport Events KU Leuven
This doctoral dissertation focuses on the complex relation between sport and environmental sustainability. The sport sector depends on the environment for a large part of its activities, but at the same time, it impacts the environment by using resources, occupying in- and outdoor spaces, generating waste and emitting greenhouse gases. While this is just a sliver of what some other sectors are contributing to global climate change, pollution ...
DFT-assisted detailed kinetic model development of rare events during radical polymerization processes Ghent University
This project aims to improve detailed model prediction of polymer properties by obtaining accurate kinetic & thermodynamic parameters for reactions in the liquid phase(s) of polymerization media using first-principles methods. The focus is on the rare events that occur during radical polymerization, in order to improve the kinetic models and the interpretation of Pulsed Laser Polymerization measurements of propagation rate ...
