Multi-terminal superconductor/graphene nano-devices: From fundamental understanding of the microscopic transport processes towards new macroscopic quantum devices. KU Leuven
The aim of this project is to perform a pioneering experimental investigation of electronic transport in nano-devices containing multiple superconductor (S)/ graphene (G) interfaces. This, in order to gain fundamental understanding of, and control over, the different competing microscopic transport processes through the present interfaces.
The central focus will be on microscopic transport processes in these multi-terminal devices ...

Novel algorithms for multiscale simulation: mapping macroscopic to miscroscopic states KU Leuven
With the advent of very powerful, massively parallel computers, most domains in science and engineering now routinely resort to numerical simulation to investigate increasingly complex systems. However, many physical, chemical and biological problems have a multiscale nature, and cannot be modeled to sufficient accuracy at the (macroscopic) scale of interest. Consequently, research on efficient and reliable computational multiscale methods, ...
A correlative microscopy approach for intracellular structures under cryogenic conditions based on Single-Molecule Localization Microscopy and X-ray nanoscopic imaging. Ghent University
Super-resolution microscopy techniques allow the visualization of antibodies - markers for locating intracellular and extracellular proteins - with a resolution of <10 nm, allowing the visualization of the internal structure of cells. Stochastic recently developed, relatively inexpensive, but powerful super-resolution microscopy techniques. project, we want to build a cost-efficient dual wavelength STORM microscope (the setup can ...
Raman Microscope for Sustainable Inorganic Materials Management (Raman-SIM2) KU Leuven
The Raman-SIM2 project involves a Raman spectrometer coupled to a microscope (Raman microscope) that is specifically designed to study the mineral phases in geological and metallurgical samples, with emphasis on (low-grade) ores, metallurgical slags, mine tailings, geopolymers and industrial process residues. The main goal is the qualitative and quantitative characterization of inorganic materials (solids, liquids and gases) on ...
Microscopic Investigation of Photocatalytic Materials at the Nanoscale. KU Leuven
Recently, nanotechnology has taken an important place in materials science. Not only have traditional materials been miniaturized, nanostructured materials also possess remarkable and unique properties compared to their larger counterparts. As such it has become very important to characterize nanostructured materials at relevant length scales and under realistic conditions. By developing a unique new integrated microscopy platform based on ...
