The research group Measure, Model, and Manage Bioresponses (M3-BIORES) is one of the leading groups at bio-monitoring and control together with research on imperfectly mixed fluids around living organisms. The research objective is to measure in an on-line manner biological responses of living organisms and their individual micro-environment and to predict their dynamic response in order to monitor and control their well being, health and performance.
Currently, there exists an open position as: Research Assistant – PhD Candidate
The department of Pneumology and Biosystems have a vacancy for an engineer at the KULeuven. As a research engineer you will work on product development and analyze volume-flow curves which are used to visualize the progress of respiratory diseases, such as cystic fibrosis, asthma and COPD. The department of Pneumology has patented a method to quantify these volume flow curves in a more objective way. The aim is to perform a validation study and come up with additional measures to quantify the dynamics of the volume flow curves using the modelling techniques of M3-BIORES, a division from the department of Biosystems. In a later stage, the algorithms will be implemented in a software program for analyzing the curves.
