Nurturing cognitive talent: Understanding the role of classroom social experiences in high-ability students’ academic engagement KU Leuven
To secure a society’s innovative capacity, it is key to foster talents of all youth, including students with outstanding cognitive abilities. However, research suggests a loss of academic engagement among high-ability youth, increasing their risk for underachievement. Integrating giftedness models with general developmental and motivational models on student engagement, this project aims to shed light on the role of classroom social ...

Talent in Transition: Motivational Development and Underachievement among High-Ability Adolescents Transitioning to Secondary School KU Leuven
Students’ school-related motivation lies at the heart of what drives students to (dis)engage and (under)achieve in school. Although underachievement is prevalent in cognitively high-ability students, little is known about their motivational development and how it compares to that of average-ability students. This dissertation aimed to further the understanding of the motivational development of high-ability students during the vulnerable ...
Fundamental understanding of transport in high-quality organic single crystals for high-mobility applications (ORSIC-HIMA) [FWO-ARRS research collaboration]. KU Leuven
In the last three decades, the mobility of organic materials used in organic transistors and circuits has steadily increased (see Fig.1), both for polymers and polycrystalline organic small molecules. This has yielded a broad range of new applications on foil, even up to the first organic 8-bit flexible and transparent microprocessor on foil, shown by imec and the KULeuven in 2011. However, the performance of these applications remains ...
