Current manufacturing processes for fiber-reinforced polymer composite materials are slow and rely heavily on manual intervention for quality control. The in-situ manufacturing of thermoplastic composites using Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) eliminates secondary thermal processing, which leads to decreased manufacturing times and cost. However, to reach an industrial implementation, we must improve our understanding of the […]

Brain fingerprinting is an emerging technique that has significant potential in leveraging individual differences for the improved prediction of behaviour (e.g. memory) and clinical (e.g. neuropsychiatric) outcomes. There is evidence suggesting that certain phenotypes of sleep might be markedly trait-like, however the uniqueness of sleep architecture and microarchitecture underlying the neurophysiological activity during the sleep […]

L’objectif général de ce projet est le développement d’heuristiques à la fine pointe des connaissances actuelles pour des problèmes de gestion de créneaux horaires de livraison (PGCHL). L’objectif de telles problématiques est de proposer un ensemble des créneaux horaires à offrir dans chaque zone prédéfinie de la région de livraison ainsi que le plan de […]

Derrière tout système de navigation, la carte planétaire du champ magnétique terrestre est à la base de l’attitude et de l’orientation des véhicules. Cependant, le champ terrestre évolue dans le temps et doit être mis à jour aux cinq ans afin de préserver une bonne précision de ces systèmes. SBQuantum développe une solution de magnétométrie […]

L’agriculture est un domaine important pour la societe. En ce sens, l’intelligence artificielle vient de plus en plus aider les agriculteurs avant, pendant ou apres les recoltes, notamment pour le controle des grains qui est une etape importante apres la recolte pour assurer un grain de qualite. Le projet de stage propose par Syntell, en […]

Prosocial behavior is essential for a functioning society. Although studies show an early onset of prosocial behaviors, there is no comprehensive theory on its development and underlying mechanisms. The visit to Dr Dunfield’s lab, which will be made possible with the help of the GRA, is embedded in a superordinate research project with the goal […]

We will use the recently developed Belgian indices of multiple deprivation (BIMDs) in combination with all-cause and cause-specific mortality data to investigate the SE inequalities in longevity indicators. Our main goal is to compare the levels and trends of life expectancy, median and modal ages at death across geographical areas in Belgium with different deprivation […]

Topological features can arise when you combine materials or lattices of different configurations at the interface. Individual elements of the lattice can be engineered to select modes which do not propagate into the rest of the system (by splitting them), and the rest would be able to, using Floquet optical ring resonators. We propose to […]

The objective of this research project is to combine different forms of user feedback mechanisms (haptic, olfactory, force, auditory) to better recreate simulated environments and increase the impact of extended reality (XR) training platforms for both users and collaborative robots. As such the research question that is being investigated during the research project is: How […]

The first aspect of this project aims to address the so-called digital divide, the challenges for broadband access in remote areas. The second is data privacy in artificial intelligence solutions. With the advent of 5G, we can now use fixed wireless access (FWA) to enable broadband access in remote areas. It consists of installing a […]

The primary objective of this project is to automatically extract accurate footprint maps of buildings from remotely sensed data such a satellite/aerial images. In recent times, deep learning approaches have shown significant progress and success in processing remote-sensing image data. Most prevailing techniques used for this task often involve using pixel-level classification deep learning techniques […]

By using second language (L2) written corpus data, this study explores the effect of different genres (i.e., argumentative, expositive, narrative, and descriptive) on syntactic complexity measures. Previous studies have noted that specific genres require unique sets of linguistic features, including measures associated with syntactic complexity. Therefore, the analysis will identify which complexity features are uniquely […]
