Negotiating Migrant Protection: Security and Protection at Europe’s Borders. KU Leuven
The research project I would like to accommodate at KU Leuven examines how migrant protection is arranged, negotiated and possibly contested at different types of EU borders, at diverse sites and migrant routes, and in interaction with practices of securitizing migration. The project focuses on the actual ways in which protection is negotiated in concrete protection practices and policies under conditions of increasing securitization. The ...

Security and Privacy for Cyber-Physical Systems and the Internet of Things KU Leuven
Internet connectivity has been extending its reach from servers and clients into mobile devices, consumer products and increasingly also embedded systems that connect to industrial processes, vehicles, home automation, and even the human body. The resulting cyber-physical systems create a huge potential for the development of smarter and more efficient manufacturing, tele-medecine, traffic management and so forth. Maintaining security and ...
The implementation of big data policing in the infrastructure of security services: towards an industrial Proof of Concept Ghent University
Prof Dr Wim Hardyns has conducted pioneering research into the use of big data and predictive analytics within the fields of security, making him one of Europe's foremost experts on big data policing. As evidence of his expertise, a big data policing model (a statistical script) has been built from scratch as part of different academic research projects into big data policing. This script includes data input pipelines, pre-processing, and ...

The New Wild West? Soldiers of Fortune in Cyber Space and the Governance of Security Ghent University
As theories on governance of security explain security architectures and actors in the real world,

cyber threats. By analysing cyber mercenaries through qualitative methods, new insights on (digital)
security architectures and governance of security theories will be gained.
Achieving food security across the agro-ecosystems in the Galapagos Islands in a context of change KU Leuven
The understanding of the Galapagos’ agro-ecosystems and its responses to climate change, addressing uncertainties associated with the fluctuation of natural resources and variation of socio-economic activities, will lead to more effective and resilient food security management programs, which ensure stakeholders engagement, reduce societal inequalities, and promote inclusive resource use. This research project aims to understand the complex ...
