Study of planetary magnetospheres using data analysis and computer simulation KU Leuven
The work will develop within the framework of TerraVirtualE, my new ERC AdG. Nadja will contribute to the study of planetary magnetospheres using simulations and observations. She will combine these tools and explore new methods base don machine learning to analyse the vast amount of data available. Her work will involve mathematical methods and physics insight, focusing especially on the transformations of energy, on the topological ...
Multiscale Characterisation and Simulation for Hydrogen Embrittlement Assessment: Development of an Open Knowledge Platform to Foster Capability Integration KU Leuven
HyWay aims to develop adaptive multiscale material modelling and characterisation suites for assessing interactions between hydrogen and advanced metallic materials and demonstrate their capabilities on hydrogen storage and transport components.
Advanced materials application like hydrogen technologies is essential for achieving the EU carbon neutrality goal. However, deploying hydrogen technologies needs a tremendous effort to complete ...
Novel mineral structure-inspired electro-driven membranes with lithium sieving capacity: a combined experimental and molecular simulation approach KU Leuven
With the rapid increase of lithium resource demand, the application of an ion exchange membrane driven by the external electric field in ion sieving has gradually attracted attention, showing great potential in lithium resource recovery. Designing novel membrane materials with strong properties is a key step. It may be a feasible idea to design novel composite membrane materials by using the special layered structure of mineral materials ...
Filament wound composite tanks for pressurized hydrogen storage: Novel predictive simulation models and testing methods. Ghent University
Safe storage of hydrogen gas in composite pressure vessels is an essential step in the transition towards a hydrogen economy which is believed to play a significant role in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Considering the required working pressure of about 700 bar for hydrogen gas storage, a solid understanding of the mechanical behaviour of filament wound composite tanks under different load cases is crucial. Hence, an analytical ...
Structural Health Monitoring of bridges based on heterogenous data enriched with physical simulation KU Leuven
Recent advances in Vibration-Based Monitoring (VBM) of bridges include the monitoring of modal strains. During my PhD and junior postdoctoral research, I have demonstrated that these satisfy some long-standing VBM demands: they have low sensitivity to temperature, high sensitivity to small-scale local damage and they can be obtained in a dense grid with high accuracy and precision. However, there are still significant fundamental challenges ...
