Imaging neural activity at the cellular- and network-levels by optically detected diamond spin-magnetometers and nanoparticle FRET sensors Hasselt University
Deep Sewer Mapping: A deep learning approach to generate digital twins of sewer infrastructure using low-cost sensors KU Leuven
Maintenance of aging sewer infrastructure is a critical challenge for municipal administrations. The goal of this project is to combine low-cost 3D cameras and cutting-edge AI technology to create a Digital Twin model of sewer systems enabling both 3D mapping of structural elements (i.e. pipes network) and automatic defects detection (i.e. cracks, deformations, infiltration, deposits). Nowadays, sewer inspection is already carried out with ...

Innovate sensors and imaging for organoid-based disease models. KU Leuven
As part of the OrganADVANCE consortium, this PhD project aims to merge the knowledge of imaging and chemistry experts, with biomedical scientists to boost organoid research. Organoids are emerging as powerful alternatives to traditional cellular or animal models. However, there is a limited number of tools and assays available for their study. The goal of this PhD is to develop, characterize and validate novel fluorescent-based biosensors, ...
Wireless distributed wearable on-body sensors networks for dosimetry and cooperative MIMO-communication Ghent University
The reliability and energy efficiency of wearable on-body sensor networks will be improved by combining new autonomous sensor modules with an innovative network and energy management system. State-of-the art sensors and controllers will be implemented, each sensor will contain antennas to set up off-body as well as on-body communication links together with energy scavengers and inductive links that supply energy.

Functional characterization of nematode peptide GPCRs using novel receptor activation sensors KU Leuven
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) form the largest group of cell surface receptors that bind signaling molecules. They are central to the control of physiology in all animals and represent the most successful class of drug targets. In nematodes, peptide-binding GPCRs are rapidly gaining traction as key regulators of nematode biology and potential targets for developing novel anthelmintics, because of their crucial roles and broad ...
