Pïezoelectronic Transduction Memory Device Ghent University
Computer clock speeds have not increased since 2003, creating a challenge to invent a successor to CMOS technology able to resume performance improvement. The key requirements for a viable alternative are scalability to nano scale dimensions – following Moore’s Law – and simultaneous reduction of line voltage in order to limit switching power. Achieving these two aims for both transistors and memory allows clock speed to again increase with ...
ORGanic UPconversion device for SWIR imaging (ORGUP) Hasselt University
Outplaying the hardware lottery for embedded AI KU Leuven
The next wave of smart applications in our society will need embedded devices (robots, wearables, etc.) with increased intelligence at much reduced energy and latency cost. Compared to current embedded platforms, up to 1000x efficiency gains could be achieved through tight processor-algorithm co-optimization. However, due to the slow development cycle of processor chips (many months to years) in comparison to algorithms (hours to weeks), this ...
First Closed-loop non-Invasive Seizure Prevention System Ghent University
Project RELIEVE aims at building the very first non-invasive closed-loop monitoring unit for brain-related disorders. The outcomes can
be used to treat or manage various psychiatric and neurological disorders. We will this by push the technological boundaries in two
separate domains: artificial intelligence (AI) and neurostimulation: (A) AI domain: We develop a class of tools based on the recently
developed mathematical ...
CLIMAS : CLIMAte change citizens engagement toolbox for dealing with Societal resilience Vrije Universiteit Brussel
impacts in the near future. The last climate change events, such as flooding in Germany and Belgium in both Continental and Atlantic
regions, heat waves and lack of water in both Mediterranean and Boreal regions, show that the policymakers, experts and stakeholders'
actions are not ...
Active reduction of noise transmitted into and from enclosures through encapsulated structures KU Leuven
To better reduce exposure of people to noise and increase their acoustic comfort, innovative noise barriers should be developed. The overarching aim of IN-NOVA is to provide a top-level training for 10 Doctoral Candidates (DC) - MSCA Fellows plus 3 DCs funded by UK (supervised by UCL - 1 DC and UOS - 2DCs), in a wide variety of cutting-edge noise control technologies, developing a new generation of creative and entrepreneurial innovators. The ...
Model Atmospheres of the Progenitor Stars to Supernovae and Black Holes: Finally in 3D! KU Leuven
Stars with masses many times that of our Sun are the direct progenitors to cosmic phenomena such as supernova explosions, black holes, and gravitational wave (GW) sources.
Through electromagnetic observations we obtain empirical information of such massive stars, however decoding the radiation reaching us through our telescopes is a highly non-trivial exercise. To constrain fundamental properties like temperatures, radii, chemical ...
Youth Skills Ghent University
ySKILLS starts from the observation that digitisation is changing society and requires a new set of digital skills, which many children and adolescents currently do not master. This can negatively affect their educational, informational and social inclusion and wellbeing. Longitudinal and robust academic research on children’s and adolescents’ digital uses, the use context and its impact is lacking on national and European levels. ySKILLS ...
