Theme 1
| The research deals with method development in organic synthesis with a focus on sustainable chemistry. Green chemistry can involve a variety of aspects, e.g. feedstock, byproduct recycling, alternative activation methods. Mechanistic studies of these novel synthetic transformations require spectroscopy & computational chemistry provided through (inter)national collaborations. ORSY is embedded in the CASCH Center of Excellence. | |
Theme 2 | PLASMANT | The research is focused on both experiments and modelling of plasma chemistry, plasma reactor design and plasma-surface interactions, for applications in sustainable chemistry and medicine, and is very interdisciplinary, combining chemistry, physics, chemical engineering, electrical engineering, computer programming, as well as biomedicine.
|
Theme 3 | The research is characterized by the synthesis-driven research, both fundamentally throughout its design methodologies and applied through advanced technologies and design implications, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration to develop innovative, future-oriented solutions for societal and industrial impact. Considering the interdisciplinary nature of the Sustainable design research, a broad perspective is needed, including perspectives from systemic design, behavioural design and service design in order to research the specified theme.
| |
Theme 4 | The research focuses on architecture, interior architecture, and design, in dialogue with the environmental and social humanities, sustainability science, historical inquiry, theoretical perspectives, and the spatial arts, using methodological approaches drawn from qualitative and mixed-methods research, spatial analysis, design-led inquiry, critical interpretive methods, and historical methodologies such as archival research, and comparative historical analysis. Through non-academic partnerships, A+I researchers co-develop innovative solutions, design guidelines, and strategies that address practical needs while fostering interdisciplinary knowledge exchange across sectors.
| |
Theme 5 | The research aims to unravel the structure-function relationship of proteins with a relevance in human (patho)physiology, focusing on target finding, characterization and clinical applications by adopting a highly interdisciplinary research approach with a strong emphasis on placing the results within a biological/clinical context. The research goals are achieved by harnessing a profound expertise in protein biochemistry, protein biophysics and structural biology. The link with complementary in cellulo and in vivo settings is made through high-quality (inter)national collaborations. LMB is embedded in the Infla-Med Center of Excellence to generate in-house interdisciplinary synergies (e.g., with medicinal chemistry, radiopharmacy, infectious disease, camelid antibody generation, and inflammatory disorders). |
