An overview of our main research groups are:
Robot-Assisted Surgery, autonomous Systems, industrial Robotics and Mechantronics, assistive Robotics, Estimation, Control and Optimization and Robot and Machine Programming.
The research in the Department of Chemical Engineering aims at developing creative solutions to challenging problems in the field of separation technology and catalysis by exploiting the new possibilities in materials engineering and nanotechnology. Key to this development process is a thorough understanding of the fundamental events, from the molecular scale to the real life application level. In our group, advanced experimental techniques ...
The Department of Decision Sciences and Information Management, Leuven, consists of three research centres:
The Center for Statistics has an international reputation in statistical research (both theoretical and applied). In the domain of mathematical statistics, research is carried out in a.o. the following fields: bootstrap methods, smoothing techniques, censored data, asymptotic theory. Research in applied statistics focuses on biostatistics (longitudinal data analysis, clustered data, missing data, multivariate methods, clinical trials, ...
ETRO (Electronics and Information Processing) focuses on three major topics: devices and electronic technology (LAMI) on the one hand, and on the other hand the processing of information through electronic means in fields related to digital images and video (IRIS) and speech (DSSP). 1. IRIS studies how to map image processing algorithms on appropriate architectures for efficient implementation, image and video compression, data visualisation, ...
The Biostatistical Centre combines theoretical biostatistical research with pratical data analysis. The major research areas of the group are: repeated measurements, clinical trials, surrogate endpoints, missing data, mixed models, Bayesian statistics. The Centre has organized workshops, international and national courses in collaboration with institutes from abroad such as University college of London, Free University of Berlin, Lancaster ...

Dir. Piet Desmet
Research (and teaching) in the field of:
(1) French and applied linguistics (esp.language didactics)
(2) computer-assisted language learning
The CoHistAL group at KULAK houses the research team ITEC (Interactive technologies), focusing on domain-specific educational technology

The IRIS RESEARCH GROUP was founded in December 21, 1988. Image/video processing and machine vision always have been and remain central research activities. Our motivation is to stay ahead of the obvious R&D tendencies, which drives us towards in depth fundamental research. Our mission statement is to impact on the transformation processes of the knowledge society, which keeps us alert to continuously update our strategic R&D agenda ...
The Audio-visual Signal Processing (AVSP) Lab investigates novel methods for the automated interpretation of social and affective behaviour. Research areas include social signal processing, multisensor fusion, computer vision, ubiquitous computing, and machine learning. Our expertise is mainly focused on developing automated methods to analyse social signals from verbal and non-verbal behaviour with multiple sensing modalities (e.g. ...
