Topological Algebra, Functional Analysis and Category Theory Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The research team investigates mathematical structures that are important in several basic areas of mathematics like geometry, representation theory, functional analysis, differential calculus or theory of approximation. The motivation also comes from outside mathematics, from computer science or physics where some of the mathematical structures that are studied are called upon as models. By application of methods from category theory the ...
Condensed Matter Theory University of Antwerp
Probability Theory Vrije Universiteit Brussel
TOPIC A : Mathematical Finance Development of theoretical models of stochastic processes that describe prices of bonds and stocks. The main difficulty is the modelling of the no-arbitrage condition. TOPIC B : Modelling of interest rates Design of a model of short term interest rates, applying the general ideas of model building By the no-arbitrage theory this implies a model for the bond market TOPIC C : Risk Theory and Life Insurance ...
History, Theory and Criticism of Architecture KU Leuven
The division ‘Architecture and Society’ stands at the crossroads between engineering and the architectural sciences on the one hand, and the humanities and social sciences on the other, and uses a broad variety of relevant methodologies from these fields in an interdisciplinary perspective. Its research ranges from theory to practice and experimentation, across all spatial scales from the building element to the territorial, and through time ...

Engineering Materials and Applications Hasselt University
Engineering Materials & Applications (EMAP)
The Engineering Materials & Applications (EMAP) research group focuses on developing innovative solutions to successfully bridge the gap between fundamental research and industrially compatible products and processes. This is done in a wide range of fields, from materials physics and chemistry to electronics, electromechanics and electrochemistry. Cooperation with industrial ...
Physical Activity, Sports & Health Research Group KU Leuven
The Physical Activity, Sports & Health research group conducts research with societal impact on the health, physical fitness and sports performance of individuals and groups across the lifespan. Two research lines can be identified:
1) Physical Activity for Fitness and Health research line
Research topics within the Physical Activity for Fitness and Health research line are guided by the Behavioural Epidemiology ...
