A new window on the atomic nucleus through high-precision atomic spectroscopy techniques. KU Leuven
This project will extend the precision frontier for measurements of the atomic structure of radioactive nuclei by a factor of 1000 compared to the current state-of-the art, with the aim of improving our understanding of the motion and distribution of nucleons in radioactive atomic nuclei. By using high-precision quantum optics methods at radioactive beam facilities, combining lasers, ion traps and radiofrequency fields, new nuclear ...

Morphodynamic equilibria in tidal systems with arbitrary planform and river discharge Ghent University
Changes in the seabed of tidal systems, induced by sea level rise or human interferences, may compromise economic and ecological values. To thoroughly assess the sensitivity of the seabed to changes in external forcing, computationally cheap, finite-element-based, exploratory models will be developed to identify equilibrium beds (attractors) in basins with arbitrary planform, as a complementary tool to classical simulation models.

Exploiting the internal dynamics of inhomogeneous magnetization states for technological and biomedical applications. Ghent University
The interplay of different interactions gives rise to complex magnetization structures on the nanoscale, like vortices and skyrmions. These structures can display internal inhomogenous dynamics, which is for instance the case in the technologically relevant regime where the driving forces are relatively weak compared to thermal excitations. In this project, we will exploit these inhomogeneous dynamics with the aim to improve a ...

A simulation framework to probe the underlying mechanisms of impaired dynamic balance control during walking post-stroke. KU Leuven
Over 10,000 people suffer from a stroke in Belgium annually, leading to reduced mobility and decreased quality of life. Stroke often leads to unilateral impairments in muscle function, motor control and sensory function, which makes it hard for ambulant stroke survivors to maintain balance while walking. The multiple simultaneous changes in the neuromusculoskeletal system caused by a stroke make it hard, if not impossible, to distinguish the ...
The EU’s Recovery Plan and the Constitutional System of the European Union – Between Rupture and Continuity KU Leuven
The EU’s Recovery Plan is the cornerstone of the European economic response to the COVID-19 crisis. By its size, its unprecedented features, and the new level of European solidarity it embodies, it is a historical initiative, which will lastingly influence the trajectory of European integration. The Plan also sets in motion or exacerbates a certain number of constitutional evolutions which have the potential to reshape the EU polity, and its ...
Digitising the indigenous and indigenising the digital: Using new technologies to create ethically minded paths for circulation of traditional dances Ghent University
Explore and critique the possibilities that new digital technologies convey for the safeguarding of indigenous dances and intangible cultural heritage practices. Blockchain, motion-capture, and other digitisation tools are to be examined within the margins wherein they are embedded: intellectual property, interculturalism and accessibility issues. The interdisciplinary methodology aims to deliver theoretical and critical frameworks for future ...
