Master in Physics and Astronomy and finalizing a PhD in applied mathematics
focussing on inverse problems.
Master in Mathematics and doing a PhD in applied mathematics at KU Leuven
working on accelerating detailed biophysical models of cardiac
excitation, such that fast calculations will allow massive iteration for
Bayesian inversion of cardiac electrogram data.
Louise Arno spent two weeks this summer at Liryc, the university of
Bordeaux, for a research stay. During this week, she met a lot of
interesting researchers and doctors, discussed science, and participated in
experiments.
Our PhD researchers went to schools across West-Flanders to give school
students insights into our work.
Our group members participated in this exposition to show the beauty and
wonder of mathematics to the broad public
We have published our algorithms to detect phase defects, i.e., the regions
at the centre of rotors in excitable media such as the cardiac muscle
tissue. We show that these methods robustly find the core of spirals using
not only in-silico simulations at KU Leuven, but also in-vitro experiments
with human immortalised atrial myocytes at Leiden University Medical
Center.
All HeartKOR PhD students have followed the summer school on cardiac
electrophysiology program at Liryc in Bordeaux.
Research topics in data analysis and inversion techniques related to
cardiac arrhythmias. Delve into ultrasound imaging advancements and the innovative ICARUS project, aiming to develop non-invasive tools for improved diagnosis.
