Data-Driven System Identification for Low Voltage Distribution Networks: Towards Accurate Digital Twin Models KU Leuven
The proliferation of low-carbon technologies (LCT: rooftop PV panels, heat pumps, and electric vehicles) connected to low-voltage distribution networks (LVDNs) is increasing the stress on the low voltage system, making it more complicated to manage and operate. Most of the low-voltage system was built several decades ago when the disruptive changes caused by the energy transition were not foreseen. For these (and other) reasons, LVDNs were ...
Measurement Uncertainty in Digital Twins for Cardiac Electrophysiology KU Leuven
Digital twins are ubiquitous in all kinds of technology development and have the potential to revolutionize medicine and especially cardiac electrophysiology. The electrophysiological behaviour, i.e. the activation of the heart muscle is complex but rather well understood, which makes that it can be modeled with quite a lot of detail. Based on the digital representation of the patient's heart, treatment options for cardiac arrhythmias can be ...
Digital Twin Framework Enabling Fleet-Level Feed Drive Systems Health Assessment and Maintenance Planning KU Leuven
The feed drive is one of the most critical systems used for the workpiece and tool's desired positioning and provides high rigidity by preloading. Its degradation exhibits significant machining errors (backlash) and vibrations which affect the product quality. The challenges, such as the unavailability of data for all failure modes, domain-specific data processing strategies and the black-box nature, and the high modelling uncertainty of ...

Digital Twin and virtual sensing strategies for metal casting processes and products KU Leuven
Casting processes account for almost half of light metal production. Metal casting process consists of filling a mold cavity with molten metal. Upon solidification, metal parts are produced that can be used for automotive, aerospace, or other applications. However, due to the complexity of the process the defect rate and the scrap rate is high. The Phd protect aims to develop a digital twin for metal casting process that gives deep insights ...
Digital twins for personalized healthcare. KU Leuven
The terminology digital twins for personalized healthcare refers to the direct use of individual-specific computer models for the prevention, prediction, screening, diagnosis and treatment of disease, as well as the evaluation, optimization, selection and personalization of intervention options. The proposed DigiTwin4PH program involves realizing five proof of concept projects, building an educational program, connecting the community and ...

Definition, pathogenesis, management and outcome of selective fetal growth restriction in monochorionic twin pregnancies KU Leuven
Several projects regarding the pathogenesis, management and outcomes of selective fetal growth restriction (sFGR) will be carried out during the PhD period starting December 2021. The PhD is organised as a joint PhD between the LUMC, the UZ Leuven and the Karolinska University Hospital. The projects involve the following: retrospective multicenter cohort study on outcome and management strategies at the three centers, prospective evaluation ...
