Continuous learning KU Leuven
The world around us is continuously evolving (think e.g. of fashion, news items or social media trends). A static artificial agent, trained in the lab and then deployed in the real world, will quickly get outdated. To keep up the pace, an artificial agent should be evolving as well, gradually increasing its knowledge about the world and expanding its horizons. In this project, we study how to make an artificial agent learn multiple tasks, ...
MUlti-SErvice WIreless NETwork KU Leuven
Capitalizing on the paradigms of wireless network virtualization and slicing, and of densification promoted all across the wireless ecosystem, this project intends to investigate multi-service wireless networks (MUSE-WINETs) based on a common and shared infrastructure made of Cloud/Fog servers and radio heads equipped with large antenna arrays. The targeted wireless services significantly extend the concept of data transfer slicing, towards ...
Massive backscattering for high throughput zero power wireless networking KU Leuven
The Internet of Things has been identified as one of the most important technological evolutions in the 21st century. Small devices with onboard sensors and wireless communication technology, deployed in large numbers, provide unprecedented opportunities for monitoring and controlling homes, cities, and the environment. Whereas data rates in the kbps range have been adequate for existing, mostly industrial, applications, sensor functionality ...

Radiation hardened high-speed ADC for imec’s next generation DARE platform KU Leuven
Radiation hardened integrated circuits are a necessity for applications in space, high-energy physics and nuclear facilities where ionizing radiation causes total dose degradation of the integrated devices as well as reversible and irreversible single-event effects from high-energy particles. The aim of this PhD project is to develop novel radiation-hardening-by-design techniques on system architecture, circuit, and layout level. Their ...
Industry 4.0 solutions for optimised value recovery from Waste Electrical and Electric Equipment (WEEE) KU Leuven
Demanufacturing activities consist of the disassembly of products to their separate components for recovery or further recycling as well as the disassembly or destructive processing of the separate components for the recovery of valuable materials. Remanufacturing activities consist of the subsequent cleaning, repairing, as well as refurbishing, upgrading and maintenance of recovered components or entire product assemblies. The potential of ...
Siren: Studying Images of Refugees in European News KU Leuven
This project aims to investigate the dynamic interplay between media representations of current non-EU immigration of asylum seekers, migrants and refugees and governmental (i.e. State and EU) and societal (re)actions. This project combines four complementary multi-stakeholder group perspectives in a unique way: 1) analysis of news media content; 2) analysis of journalism cultures and practices across the countries under study; 3) study of ...
