Taking extrasolar planet imaging to a new level with vector vortex coronagraphy (vortex)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2013, Date de fin: 31 août 2018,
Vector vortex coronagraphs (VVC) are among the most promising solutions to directly image faint extrasolar planets by dimming the glare of their nearby host star. Manufacturing and efficiently operating such devices is however a challenging enterprise, especially in the thermal infrared regime where warm planets radiate most of their energy. For several years, we have been developing a new class o ...

Silicon Nitride Coatings for Improved Implant Function (LifeLongJoints)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2013, Date de fin: 31 mars 2018,
Articulating joint replacements represent a medical market exceeding €14 billion p.a. that is expected to rise as demographics reflect an ageing population. However, faster growth has been seen in the revision market, where prosthetic joints are replaced, than in primary interventions. The major cause of these revisions is that all joint replacements are prone to wear leading to loss of implant fu ...

Re-integration of a skilled researcher through an intra-European collaboration on pathology-specific bone cements (SPINEGO)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2010, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2013,
"This project aims to re-integrate a skilled researcher and strengthen the European research network in biomedical engineering.The optimal outcome is new treatment options for vertebral fractures in order to reduce the pain and improve the stability of the spine.Bone cements are frequently used to treat vertebral fractures, but may cause adjacent fractures due to their high stiffness.This is parti ...
