Design and validation of distributed EEG signal processing methods for a wearable network of galvanically independent recording units. KU Leuven
Epilepsy is one of the most common severely disabling brain conditions, affecting over 46 million people worldwide. It is characterised by recurring, sudden, excessive, synchronous electrical activity in neuronal networks that disrupt ongoing brain activity and causes clinical seizures. Diagnosis and follow-up of epilepsy typically relies on electroencephalography (EEG). Clinical EEG is a non-invasive electrophysiological measurement ...
Evaluation Models for the Resilience and Stealth of Software Protections and Malware Ghent University
Software protections are used benignly for protecting assets and maliciously for hiding malware. Attacks thereon are executed maliciously for attacking assets and benignly for analyzing malware. It is commonly accepted that protection strength is determined by three aspects: potency, resilience, and stealth. Whereas potency has received quite some attention and many complexity metrics have been proposed to measure it, resilience and stealth ...
Compiler interfaces for unrestricted use of high-level languages for programming accelerators Ghent University
In recent times, developers have more and more been using high-level programming languages because of the increase in programmer efficiency. Where that efficiency often comes at the cost of run-time performance, languages like Julia and Rust have been trying to bridge the gap, offering high-level language features at the speed of low-level C. However, these languages fail to target the increasingly popular segment of accelerators: Hardware ...
Ithaca Ghent University
The goal of the ITHACA project is to build a unique test infrastructure.
The target group of ITHACA infrastructure users are companies and research groups that develop, build or characterize powertrain components where accurate knowledge of the thermal properties of the components is important.
Better knowledge of these parameters makes it possible to
- design better components in terms of efficiency
- optimize ...
Dynamic Power Management in Heterogeneous Multi-Core Processors Ghent University
Heterogeneous processors (e.g., ARM’s big.LITTLE) provide flexibility in power-constrained environments by executing applications on the ‘big’ high-performance core when there is available power budget and on the ‘little’ core when power is limited. This project explores dynamic power management in heterogeneous chip-multiprocessors (HCMPs) with per-core DVFS, optimizing performance within a power limit per thermally significant time period. ...
Model based synthesis of Covalent Organic Frameworks (COFs) for heterogeneous catalysis in flow. Ghent University
A next generation of heterogeneous catalysts will be developed starting from stable porous covalent organic frameworks (COFs) to which numerous active metal complexes will be anchored. The potential of COFs is currently almost unexplored. The new materials will be engineered on the nanometer scale and tested using a microreactor set-up. As a result, various sustainable processes which are not possible today on industrial scale, will become ...
Ultra-low energy ion implantation of graphene: substitutional and intercalated atoms KU Leuven
Functionalizing two-dimensional (2D) materials typically involves the modification of their physical and chemical properties. In this context, several approaches are being explored: interaction with various substrates, creation of lattice defects (e.g., vacancies), addition of foreign atoms, clusters or molecules in adsorbed or intercalated forms, substitutional doping, among others. This thesis focuses on the incorporation of substitutional ...
Chip integration of radio-over-fiber frontends for 5G-networks Ghent University
Hybrid fiber-wireless networks constitute an important research area to enable the large-scale integration of 5G-networks and 5G-attocells. Hybrid fiber-wireless networks combine the advantages of the fiber with the flexibility of the wireless channel. Research into 5G radio-over-fiber links (e.g. the opto-electronic receiver chips) offers the opportunity to greatly improve the performance, cost and power consumption.
