The research activities of the division are concentrated in three areas of biomechanics: 1. FUNDAMENTAL BONE RESEARCH: Both the relation between bone structure and its mechanical properties and the influence of mechanical sollicitation on bone remodelling are investigated. These relations are particularly relevant for the study and comprehension of fracture healing mechanisms and of osteoporosis. The division uses state of the art engineering ...
Research in the Laboratory of Computational Biology is focusing on gene and genome regulation, with applications in Drosophila and cancer, and on integrative genomics, developing computational methods for genomic data integration and analysis of next-generation sequence data.
Central objective for all Leuven Materials Research Centre (LMRC) research lines is the understanding of structure-properties relations and their influence on synthesis and processing. Hence the research is based on advanced materials characterization, novel materials synthesis and applied materials modeling.
The six research lines of LMRC are:
Manufacturing Processes and Systems
Research topics:
Sheet processing: CNC controlled processes
Laser cutting
Laser converting
Bending
Incremental conversion
CAD / CAM and automated work preparation
Design-supporting methods and techniques: Ecodesign and Life cycle engineering: methodology development
Life cycle costing: predictive techniques
Knowledge management: methods and algorithms ...
The Division MeBios (Mechatronics, Biostatistics and Sensors) investigates the interaction between biological systems and physical processes. The emphasis is on the measurement of properties of biological products and process variables, the analysis of the measured signals by means of advanced statistical methods, process and equipment design, optimisation and control. Mathematical models to describe the working principles of biological ...
cMACS forms an interdisciplinary and international team that pioneers research in catalysis, energy, spectroscopy and separations. A molecular understanding of physical and chemical phenomena during synthesis and application of catalysts, sorbents and membranes is central to allow molecular and structural design of novel materials and directed engineering of applications. The study of porous materials, membranes, films and their interfaces ...
