The mission statement of the department captures its drive to advance scientific knowledge about the physical Universe, from its smallest subnuclear building blocks, across the complex intermediate scales, and up to its largest extragalactic structures and the Universe itself. This endeavour is fundamentally driven by the department’s curiosity and rooted in contemporary experimental, computational and theoretical explorations and ...

The research of the ELEM team is developed in the framework of the Inter-University Institute for High Energies - IIHE (VUB- ULB). At present experimental work is carried out at the accelerator complexes of CERN (Geneva) and DESY (Hamburg) as well as in a neutrino observatory installed at the South-Pole (IceCube experiment). The preparation of the experiments (design and construction of particle detectors) as well as the final data analysis ...

Quantum field theory and applications Mathematical ...

Electronic characterization of semiconductor interfaces (internal photoemission, electron spin resonance). Electronic properties of semiconductor interfaces and thin layers including low-dimensional systems. The modelling activities are focused on the first-principles simulations (based on density functional theory - DFT) of the structural, electronic and transport properties of various materials and heterostructures of potential ...

The research activities of the Medical Physics and Quality assessment research group include ionizing as well as non-ionizing imaging modalities. Both of them are characterized by a rapid technological development and many new radiological applications.
Our activities focus on modeling of different aspects of the imaging process, optimization of radiological images, the proposal and validation of new data processing and automated quality ...
