Projects
Sustainable and Integrated Urban Water System Management Ghent University
The focus in this project is integrated water management using modeling and control with focus on sustainability. The fellow at BIOMATH models the treatment process using a coupled CFD-kinetics model.

Analysing and Striking the Sensitivities of Embryonal Tumours Ghent University
Cancer is hallmarked by multiple genetic aberrations that lead to a functional derangement of cellular signalling networks. Embryonal tumours (ETs) comprising neuroblastoma, medulloblastoma and Ewing sarcoma, occur early in life, and thus may reveal pathogenetically relevant lesions clearer than adulthood tumours which carry passenger mutations accumulated during life. ASSET will exploit this fact by focussing on unravelling the signalling ...
Green membrane bioseparation for circular economy KU Leuven
Bio-GENTLE will train 12 doctoral candidates (DCs) with an overarching goal to propel Europe to the forefront of research and development of biomolecules that can be used as high-volume commodities or low-volume, but high-value compounds in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. The scientific aim of this network will be to produce and share knowledge, insights, and solutions to these objectives, thereby enabling major steps towards, ...
Epidemic intelligence to minimize 2019-nCOV's public health, economic and social impact in Europe "EpiPose" Hasselt University
Advanced control solutions for wastewater treatment. Ghent University
The objective of this project is to design, impement and solidate new simulation tools for practical control, based on WWTP virtualisation. It will be possible to manufacture enhanced and cost-effective control poduct, tested by simulation prior to full-scale impementation.
Advancing Sustainability of Process Industries through Digital and Circular Water Use Innovations Ghent University
Either we rethink how we use water or we threaten the availability. Even though there is overall enough water to meet the world’s growing needs, it is necessary to make changes in how water is used, managed and shared. The EU-funded AquaSPICE project will increase awareness in resource efficiency. It will also deliver compact solutions for industrial applications, including water treatment and reuse technologies, and closed-loop recycling ...
Formalizing Subjective Interestingness in Exploratory Data Mining Ghent University
The rate at which research labs, enterprises and governments accumulate data is high and fast increasing. Often, these data are collected for no specific purpose, or they turn out to be useful for unanticipated purposes: Companies constantly look for new ways to monetize their customer databases; Governments mine various databases to detect tax fraud; Security agencies mine and cross-associate numerous heterogeneous information streams from ...
MERMAID : Microbial Resource Management for Closing the Urban Water Cycle Ghent University
A rising demand for safe drinking water makes it necessary to close the Urban Water Cycle (water to wastewater to water) in a sustainable, cost efficient manner. Microbial communities have always been used in water industry and environmental biotechnology, but rather based on historical empirical than scientific approaches. Consequently, the management of microbial communities and their interactions in a controlled way is the next step, ...
