The Research Unit of Physical Geography develops activities along two main fields:
1. Ice and Climate (contact P. Huybrechts)
2. Volcanology, geomorphology, and natural hazards (contact M. Kervyn)
Ice and ClimateThe Ice and Climate research group focuses on the dynamics of glaciers and ice sheets and their interaction with the climatic system. Emphasis is laid on the development and application of ...
Objectives The research activities of FYSC are focused on '(molecular and supramolecular) structure - processing - property' relations in polymers for developing materials with improved performance. An important collection of analytical techniques and characterization procedures is available for this purpose. New macromolecular microstructures are designed by polymer synthesis in collaboration with external partners. A contribution to the ...
The aim of the Adapted Physical Activity (APA) research unit consists of the study of the relationship ‘impairment – activity’ in the continuum from rehabilitation to elite sports. Minimizing the impact of impairment on activity will enlarge the social range of action (rehabilitation) and provide a solid basis for fair sports classification (elite sports). Future research of the APA unit is embedded in international research projects ...
The department of 'Imaging and Physical Sciences' consists of the subunits Radiology and Clinical Imaging (RADI), 'Radiotherapy' (KANK), 'Nuclear Medicine' (NUGE). The main research topics for these three subunits are: For Radiology and Clinical Imaging: 1. Diffusion and perfusion magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and their application to the characterisation of healthy and pathologic tissues; 2. Susceptibility MR imaging of trabecular bone and ...
Research activities in the group of "Theoretical Chemistry and Molecular Modelling" aim at linking domains of relevance in physical chemistry, chemical physics, and material research, such as:
- polymer physics and surfaces;
- electron structure theory of neutral and ionized molecules (anions, cations), clusters or radicals;
- advanced ionization spectroscopy (photoelectron spectroscopies [XPS, UPS, Synchrotron], Electron ...
The AIMS research group grew out of the CIME research unit (not yet recognized as a research group). CIME stands for “cognition and modeling”, and was not abbreviated as COMO because that research group already existed in the Faculty of Science at the time when CIME was founded. CIME is part of NEUR. Given the growth of CIME, and after consultation with the chairman of NEUR, we started with the recognition application as a research group of ...
