Functionally graded materials (FGMs) have spatial variations in structure or composition that result in gradients in their mechanical, thermal, swelling, or other properties. FGMs have garnered

After finishing her M.Sc. in Photonics at the Warsaw University of Technology, Aleksandra started a joint PhD between TU Dublin and KU Leuven as a part of the MSCA SENNET Project - Porous Networks for Gas Sensing. In the Ameloot group, she will continue her research on the development of optical microstructures functionalised with MOFs for the detection of volatile organic compounds.

Giel's research is featured in the new issue of Bio-ingenieus (p4-5) showcasing Christmas tree-resembling features utilized in optical gas sensing.

We are pleased to welcome a new PhD student to the Ameloot Group!

We are pleased to welcome a new postdoc to the Ameloot group!

Point-of-care (POC) devices require more advanced detection techniques than those currently available to achieve enhanced quantification and sensitivity. Incorporating a micro power supply could be a

Precise control over the crystalline phase and crystallographic orientation within thin films of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is highly desirable. Here, we report a comparison of the liquid- and

In this work, we investigate the vapor-assisted synthesis of the metal-organic framework MOF-74 starting from three metal oxides (ZnO, CoO, and MgO). Depending on the nature of the added vapor (H2O,

Congratulations Dr. Vanduffel! After successfully completing the public defense of her thesis, Hanne was awarded her Ph.D.!

After writing her Master's thesis at the Ameloot group working on integrating MOFs in a gas sensor, Leen now joins the group as a Ph.D. student. During the following years, she will implement a novel
