Candidates interested in fully funded PhD positions can check the details and may apply as soon as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n The application of nanoparticles in the clinical field has increased in recent years, which also includes the manufacturing of engineered nanoparticles for targeted drug delivery. For clinical applications, the properties of these nanoparticles need to be closely controlled during synthesis. For this purpose, microreaction technology is commonly applied. The research group has developed a wide range of ultrasound integrated flow reactors on the micro- and milli-scale. The aim of this project is to apply these reactors to emulsion-based synthesis of nanoparticles, which are then loaded with target molecules for drug delivery.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The project centers around legged robots equipped with arms and hands. This research features a mix of fundamental and application relevant aspects. We aim to develop robots and their controllers to establish reliable and versatile interactions with humans and with our everyday environment. The project will build on our previous two- and four-legged robot projects, such as the BirdBot robot, Ecowalker robot, MORTI robot, and ODRI\/SOLO-legged robot. Additional open-source solutions for robotic arms and hands will be integrated. We value applying and developing open, affordable, and easy-to-access hardware\/software solutions that all members of our society benefit from.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Follow FellowshipBard for daily updates! <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Facebook<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Twitter<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Linkedin<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) is one of the best known additive manufacturing techniques for the production of thermoplastics based components. It is based on material extrusion and it is thermal energy driven. In the Advanced Manufacturing Lab(AML) of KU Leuven, campus de Nayer, code enabling to predict and simulate the build temperature of FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) printed parts has been developed. This code, which is named ‘Temperature for Fused Filament Fabrication’ (T4F3), has been successfully applied to predict critical reheating temperatures for high-quality and efficient printing of PLA (polylactic acid) parts and to develop the first examples of adaptive printing strategies in FFF.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The PhD thesis will focus on the development of a flexible process in which it will be possible to tune the parameters towards end product characteristics, but also concerning minimisation of nuclear liquid waste generation. The PhD student will modify the conditions of the precipitation and calcination steps in the new two-steps precipitation conversion approach and study the effect on the ThO2 powder obtained. The characteristics of the powders will be analysed by means of advanced characterization techniques available at SCK CEN such as high-resolution thermal analysis equipment coupled with a mass spectrometer(TGA-MS), dilatometer, X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron microscopy (SEM), physisorption analysis, etc. <\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The individualized doctoral program allows the doctoral student to devote four years to full-time research.

Your research will unravel the psychology of managerial decisions, examine how managers (mis)interpret data, and explore the development of debiasing solutions. We offer a full-time employment for 4 years, starting in the fall of 2023. The exact starting date can be agreed upon. <\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The overarching aim of this research programme is to improve understanding of the drivers of antibiotic failures in the general population, to support the design of more targeted antimicrobial resistance prevention strategies. This will be done so in two steps. First, you will investigate antibiotic failures in a large population-based cohort and their variation over time and by sub-groups – to help understand how many individuals are affected, what their typical profile is and how this might have changed over time. Second, you will perform a thorough examination of possible patient- and practice-level factors that might play a role in the emergence of antibiotic failures \u2013 to help uncover possible reasons that could explain why treatments fail in some patients and not in others. <\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Parkinson’s disease and multiple system atrophy belong to the family of synucleinopathies, which are neurodegenerative disorders characterised by the aggregation of alpha-synuclein protein with infectious properties. Although most studies have focused on the central nervous system, there is increasing evidence that these pathological proteins originate outside the brain, in the periphery. From visceral barrier sites they spread to the central nervous system via the nerves that innervate these organs. The origin of these diseases is unknown, but it is believed that a combination of genetic and environmental factors are involved.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This project aims to develop innovative processes for extraction of medical radioisotopes from irradiated target materials by solvent extraction in milliflow reactors. Milliflow reactors offer the advantage of more efficient separations, fast processing times, low liquid hold-up volumes and thus lower waste volumes compared to conventional solvent extraction equipment such as mixer-settlers. The separation of scandium-47 from calcium-46 and the separation of actinium-225 from radium-226 are selected as model processes. Both scandium-47 and actinium-225 being high potential medical radioisotopes of the new generation for application in targeted radionuclide therapy. <\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n As part of a PhD project, you will both fundamentally and clinically investigate which molecular abnormalities occur as a consequence of ADPKD and translationally investigate how the symptoms can be improved. The assignment within this vacancy will mainly consist of further developing fundamental and clinical research, data processing and scientific writing. This study will mainly take place at the KUL, in collaboration with UZBrussels\/VUB.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n In this project, KU Leuven will lead the activities on lifecycle impact and lifecycle costing analysis (LCA&LCC) and on computer vision driven robotic demanufacturing. These activities will be carried out within a multidisciplinary and multinational\/multicultural team of researchers at KU Leuven, in which competences are already available to perform the LCA&LCC and the deep learning computer vision for component detection and product identification. Therefore, we are looking for a new colleague to complement this team with the objective to investigate the most optimal approaches for continuous feeding and clamping of electronic products or printed wiring boards and for one or multiple robots to dismantle the products with multiple unscrewing tools (or alternative dismantling technologies, such as milling).<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The PhD will develop novel high performance electrically charged thin-film nano composite polyamide membranes embedding UiO-66-NH2 nano fillers or modified hydrophilic Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework ZIF nanoparticles (a subset of MOFs) for selective monovalent\/multivalent ion separation via Nano filtration (NF). The stability of these membrane under high-salinity environment will be investigated at ITM-CNR (Italy) in collaboration with the PhD student active atITM-CNR. The modelling of ions transport through these membranes, carried out at VSCHT (Czechia) in collaboration with the PhD student active at VSCHT, will drive the performance optimization of this stage. <\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dimensional quality control of hidden or hardly accessible features of high added-value products, produced by e.g., additive manufacturing, is becoming feasible using Industrial X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT). However, reducing scanning time by e.g., acquiring corrupted (noisy or incomplete) XCT data while conserving good image reconstruction has remained a challenge up to now. This PhD project focuses on studying, developing and efficiently applying nonlinear regularization techniques on the tomographic reconstruction inverse problem related to XCT with corrupted data. The candidate will make extensive use of continuous optimization techniques and will need to be comfortable with scientific computing implementations. <\/span><\/p>\n1.
