We want to incorporate our thread-like sensors into common textiles to develop smart garments for the detection of human movements. Our aim is to develop wearable technologies that are light and unobtrusive and provide data that can be used to inform on, guide, track, or improve human movement. - Engineering and Technology, Information, Computing and Communication Sciences

We want to develop wireless sensing textiles that can be seamlessly incorporated into garments. Wireless sensing would eliminate the need for rigid electronics to be attached to textiles and makes the technology lighter and more practical. - Engineering and Technology, Information, Computing and Communication Sciences

Radiotherapy to treat cancer is limited in its power by the severe side effects it produces. Radio-enhancing nanoparticles injected into the tumor locally increase the desired effect, thus allowing to reduce the total dose. The various mechanisms will be simulated to better guide experimental work. - Biomedical Engineering, Modeling and Simulation

Clouds are the number one factor of uncertainty in climate projections. To reach a predictive understanding of cloud processes and evolution, we need a thorough characterization of their microphysical properties. In particular, the concentration and size of hydrometeors is important. - Environmental Engineering, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering

Varying-topology networks have attracted the attention of the control systems community due to their broad range of applications, such as microgrids and power networks. In this project we are interested in developing plug-and-play controllers which ensure stability and feasibility for such networks. - Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Plastic pollution is one of the biggest environmental challenges of this age. Million tons of plastic debris end up in the ocean each year, most of it through rivers. To tackle this problem, it is necessary to understand how this material is transported in the water: Does it float? Does it spread? - Environmental Engineering, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering
