Lange termijn agent-based simulatiemodellen voor elektrische energiesystemen KU Leuven
Many electricity generation systems are undergoing drastic changes, through rapidly increasing shares of intermittent renewable energy sources (RES) like wind and solar photovoltaics. Models are often used to address the corresponding challenges (technical, economic, policy), by analyzing system operation and planning. The energy system is characterized by multiple actors (generators, system operators, regulators, suppliers, consumers). These ...
Gedistribueerd netwerk van actieve ruis-equalizers voor geluidscontrole van meerdere gebruikers KU Leuven
The project is aimed at developing a novel wireless acoustic sensor network (WASN) for multi-user active noise equalization without the need of using headsets. This system is formed by multiple active noise equalizers (ANEs), which act as a node in a WASN-type set up and cooperate to simultaneously solve their node-specific noise equalization problems. By doing so, the proposed system can simultaneously ensure the auditory comfort of multiple ...

Europees doctoraatsnetwerk voor neurale prothesen en hersenonderzoek KU Leuven
DONUT, European Doctoral Network for Neural Prostheses and Brain Research has the mission to provide a multidisciplinary and inter-sectoral network for young talented researchers. The ambition of the project is to serve as a springboard for the expansion of EU partners into the fast-developing Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology and connected scientific disciplines. The DN will leverage the complementary expertise of 7 academic ...
Recyclingtechnologieën voor ELV-componenten om een duurzame bron van marktwaardige materialen voor EU-toepassingen te creëren KU Leuven
CRUSADE upscales novel technologies to TRL7 integrated in a universal hydrometallurgical method to recycle up to 500 tn/year of spent automotive components (autocatalysts, fuel cells, batteries and printed circuit boards) from end-of-life vehicles and recover ca 40 tn/year of critical raw materials (Cu, C, Co, Mn, Ni, Pt, Pd, Rh, Li, Ru) at commercial specifications. The project leverages predeveloped technologies to establish a market ready ...
Interventies ter bevordering van de geestelijke en lichamelijke gezondheid in veranderende werkomgevingen als gevolg van klimaatverandering, duurzame werkpraktijken en groene banen KU Leuven
Work environments are rapidly changing in Europe. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in an acceleration of a range of complex and multidimensional trends at the workplace. There is also increasing awareness of the importance of mental and physical health of workers and fundamental interconnections of work, health and well-being. Climate change is further shaping the future of work on an unprecedented scale. European economies are undergoing ...
Kernel Mean Embedding als grote verenigende theorie voor het werken met distributie data in farmaceutische toepassingen Universiteit Gent
The pharmaceutical industry is striving towards pharma 4.0 and continuous manufacturing. This move implies the need for high-quality predictive models for simulation and optimisation problems both for unit operations as well as for plant-wide scenarios. In these continuous production lines, much of the measurement data can be expressed as a distribution, e.g. a particle size distribution. Currently, these measurements are reduced to some ...
De adoptie van waterstofmetallurgie in de klimaatneutrale productie van staal KU Leuven
The HELIOS Doctoral Network will train 10 motivated and talented Doctoral Candidates (DCs) in breakthrough technologies for the hydrogen-based production of green steel, including both carbon steel and stainless steel. These DCs will be equipped with the necessary science capital and diverse transferable skills to pursue their careers in Europe and become the experts that our society needs to achieve the climate-neutral production of steel by ...
Effect van insuline en voeding/vastencyclus op de werkzaamheid en veiligheid van het vaccin KU Leuven
Though it has long been known that activated lymphoid cells upregulate insulin receptors, the functional relevance of insulin signalling in immune cells has only recently begun to be explored. This includes the recent finding that insulin-stimulated activation in the PI3K/Akt/mTOR promotes immunometabolic reprogramming of T cells, thereby promoting antigen-specific immunity. Similarly, in liver cells, insulin receptors have been shown to ...
