Projects
The role and impact of the employment consultant in the (new) guidance and mediation model: an analysis of the implementation, the determinants at meso and micro level and the outcomes with jobseekers. KU Leuven
Micro and nano CT for hierarchical analysis of matter. KU Leuven
Scientists and engineers go beyond the borders using high resolution computed tomography (μ-CT, submicron en nano-CT) to reveal the internal structure and architecture of materials and relate it to the material performance and modelling.
Fabrication and characterization of reference nano and micro structures for 3D chemical analysis KU Leuven
Industry is progressively moving towards complex 3D architectures and using advanced materials and heterogeneous systems, which includes both organic and inorganic materials. Obviously, the performance of such complex 3D systems is also determined by the 3D elemental distributions, e.g. dopants distributions, or chemical compositions at the nanometric scale. Thus, 3D metrology should provide an accurate elemental and chemical measurement ...
A micro level analysis of violent conflict Ghent University
MICROCON proposes to significantly increase knowledge in the field of conflict analysis in Europe, through the construction of an innovative micro level, multidisciplinary approach. This approach will promote in-depth understanding of individual and group interactions leading to and resulting from violent mass conflicts. The project aims to uncover much-needed fundamentals for better informed domestic, regional and international conflict ...
Local micro analysis in algebras of generalized functions Ghent University
This project aims to develop new tools for the description and understanding of microlocal properties in generalized function algebras. Our investigation will combine modern techniques from functional analysis and nonstandard analysis. We will apply the new tools to study hyperbolic partial dierential equations with highly singular coecients and data as they appear e.g. in seismology. For such equations, classical microlocal methods fail. We ...
micro and nano-plastics analysis KU Leuven
Plastics consisting of resistant polymers are the most widely used material for which there is not any proper disposal. Consequently, they will enter the environment in which they will be exposed to various meteorological factors like sunlight, oxidizing atmosphere, and mechanical stress leading to degradation into tiny particles and fibers called microplastics and nano plastics (M/NPs). M/NPs pollution, which has become one of the most ...
Micro- and Macro-Level Determinants of Job Insecurity Perceptions: Individual, Organizational and Social Consequences. Multilevel Analysis and Comparisons among Countries KU Leuven
This project aims to increase the understanding of the nature of job insecurity by examining its causes and consequences through a multilevel perspective, considering factors at the individual, organizational and country levels. We intend to provide theoretical models identifying antecedents of job insecurity and potential effects on life quality: the practical goal is to develop instruments for suitable organizational and social policies ...
Global value chains: a micro- and macro-level analysis KU Leuven
The doctoral work will consist of essays in international trade and related domains. It will mainly focus on the analysis of global value chains from a firm-level perspective. First, the research agenda will entail the development of new theoretical frameworks. Then, the predictions arising from these models will be tested in the data using sound empirical strategies.
