Quantum Chemistry and Physical Chemistry KU Leuven
The methods of quantum mechanics are applied to the study of a wide variety of organic, biological and inorganic compounds. Molecular structure, reactivity and properties are predicted on the basis of theoretical calculations. Due to constant improvements in computer power, and to more and more efficient algorithms, the predictions that can be made are frequently competitive in terms of accuracy with experimental measurements. Computations ...
Mechanics of Materials and Constructions Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In the Department of 'Mechanics of Materials and Constructions' (MEMC) fundamental and applied research is developed on the following themes: 1. Durability - Reliability of polymer based composite systems; 2. Mixed numerical-experimental techniques or inverse methods; 3. Mineral polymers and their composites; 4. Damage mechanics on material and structural levels; 5. Non-destructive testing and experimental mechanics; 6. Design and analysis of ...
WE Academic Unit Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Structural Mechanics KU Leuven
Research in the Structural Mechanics Section of the Department of Civil Engineering focuses on the static and dynamic analysis of structures. Five related research lines are developed: (1) vibrations in the built environment, (2) vibration based structural identification and evaluation , (3) building acoustics, (4) shape and topology optimization, and (5) computational structural engineering. Model development is supported by laboratory and ...
Radiopharmaceutical Research KU Leuven
The Radiofarmaceutical Research team aims to develop and apply new radiopharmaceuticals for diagnosis (PET en SPECT) or for radionuclide therapy. The development of radiopharamaceuticals can be subdivided in different steps in which the team has acquired expertise:
- design: structure design of new radiotracers based the target that needs to be visualized and the requitrement for fast and efficient incorporation of the radionuclide ...
Biocrystallography KU Leuven
The design of new potential drugs is traditionally the domain of the pharmacochemist. In the last decades Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR)-techniques are used more and more to define the 'essential' moieties of a pharmacon. A logical evolution in the search for the relation between the 3D-structure of drugs & their biological activity is the 3D-structure analysis of the biological target molecules and the receptor- ...
Chávez Gutiérrez Lab Flanders Institute for Biotechnology
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 ...
