Molecular Imaging and Photonics KU Leuven
Fundamental properties of the electronic excited state and of the use of this basic knowledge in different physical and physicochemical problems . - Intra- and intermolecular interactions in the electronic excited state. - Photochemistry and photophysics of ordered systems such as micelles, inverse micelles and membranes. Stabilization of ordered systems through polymerization. - Adsorption of organic molecules at surfaces and the influence ...
Soft Matter, Rheology and Technology (SMaRT) KU Leuven
The aim of the Soft Matter, Rheology and Technology (SMaRT) division is to foster and conduct research on soft matter and the rheology of complex fluids on a fundamental level as well as their application to technical processes. Such complex fluids span a wide range of materials, including polymer solutions, melts and blends, emulsions, colloidal dispersions, surfactant solutions, etc.
A characteristic feature of such complex fluids and ...
Division of Geology KU Leuven
The researchers from the Department of Geology concentrate on the study of Planet Earth. In particular we study the geosphere – the ‘solid’ Earth – and try to figure out the significance of processes in the geosphere with respect to the functioning of Earth’s systems from global to local scale. In our research we look into ‘deep time’, but always in the perspective of the challenges our society faces today and in the future. Besides the ...
Biochemistry, Molecular and Structural Biology KU Leuven
Research on four types of functionally active proteins - Copper proteins : hemocyanins (involved in dioxygen binding). - Thiol proteins: metallothioneins (metal detoxication and donation). - Protease inhibitors: alpha -2-macroglobulin homologues. - Regulatory proteins: cytokines (defencesystems against infection). Aim: to determine, after their isolation or possible induction, the composition and the primary to quaternary structure of these ...
Neuronal Wiring Lab (VIB-KUÂ Leuven) KU Leuven
Dietmar Schmucker and his team study the neuronal interactions and the neuronal network of the model organisms Drosophila and Xenopus tropicalis.
Plasma-astrophysics KU Leuven
Research is focused on the Magnetohydrodynamics of magnetic plasmas in the sun and stars. It aims to explain fundamental processes observed in the sun and other astrophysical bodies. It builds on and complements the laws of plasma physics that are investigated in magnetic fusion machines. Current research topics are: - Ideal and resistive MHD stability of magnetic arcades and loops in order to explain the remarkable stability and the sudden ...
Periodontology & Oral Microbiology KU Leuven
The department of Periodontology conducts both clinical as well as more fundamental research. The clinical projects concentrate on an optimization of non-surgical periodontal therapy, diagnostics in Periodontology, planning and outcome of oral implants, diagnosis and treatment of halitosis. In 1996 the department created the Research Group for Microbial Adhesion. This new group covers research within a broad field of oral microbiology ...
