Projects & Events
eMATI is currently contributing to the organization of the Micro Nano Engineering - Eurosensors conference (MNE-ES 2022)
June 2022 Excited and glad for a newly funded interdisciplinary project: DuGluMo! This project will will set new benchmarks in the field of glucose sensing thanks to a close cooperation between 4 different Departments and 3 Faculties at the KU Leuven!
DuGluMo will give to KU Leuven high visibility in the field of biosensing for diabetes monitoring and will open many R&D collaboration opportunities at a national and international level!
A big thanks goes to a wonderful team of colleagues Inge Depoortere, Daniel Escudero Masa, André Vantomme and Ewald Janssens!
Stay tuned 😊
December 2022 Glad to be awarded to the Small research infrastructure grant (PotenGo project) worth ~80k € to buy a high-end, high-current potentiostat that will be placed in the #KULeuven #NanoCentre. This tool will be key for the development of groundbreaking electrochemical materials, devices and systems!
A big thank you to my colleagues who supported the project: Pedro Fardim, Frederik Ceyssens, Michael Kraft, Carmen Bartic, Jean-Pierre Locquet, Ewald Janssens, Peter Lievens & Didier Grandjean
December 2022 New VLAIO project won with SCK CEN (radiobiology).
The project will develop organ-on-chip sensors to monitor cardiac tissue, benefiting applications in space for a deeper understanding of the adverse outcome pathways leading to cardiac aging, in particular the ones that are radiation-induced.
Supervisors: Kevin Tabury & Bjorn Baselet
Promoters: Irene Taurino
December 2022 A newly funded project on the development of a multi-parametric sensor for continuous electrochemical monitoring of yeast fermentation: SteerFerm!!!!
We will deliver ready-to-use pre-prototypes that monitor key variables for #yeast growth.
This milestone is crucial for making a bridge with companies that will move the technology to a development stage!!!
A big thank you to Michael Kraft, Nurul Izni Rusli, Kevin Verstrepen & Dimitris Konstantinidis

June 2023 Great news 😊 again! We got funded another three-years project with high TRL: QuantPAH!!!!
We will deliver ready-to-use prototypes for a rapid quantification of metabolites in the urine of firefighters!
Thank you to my colleagues Jeroen Vanoirbeek & Patrick Wagner
June 2023 MSCA Staff Exchange Program... won!!!
Bicyclos aims at foster new applications of Cyclodextrins-based systems as drugs, delivery systems or sensors. The consortium features 11 partners with 4 coming from the private sector!
Congrats to all of us and looking forward to start this wonderful adventure! #euMSCA
June 2023 Amazing news 😊 again! We got funded another four-years project!!!!
HumiPlast aims at addressing the bottlenecks of wearable sensors to track plant stress in real time by proposing groundbreaking devices developed with a new and unexploited printing technique and a truly interdisciplinary approach!
A big THANK YOU goes to my colleagues Veerle Bloemen, Arn Mignon & Bram Van de Poel!
I am delighted to announce that Dr. Batist Geldhof has won his FWO postdoctoral fellowship and will be joining my team on October 1st 😊
We look forward to our collaboration over the next three years!
We will embark on groundbreaking research in the field of plant diagnostics!
A special thank you goes to the project co-PI Bram Van de Poel 😊
