What's new @ ICTEAM

Congratulations to Laurent Opsomer, Simon Vandergooten, Jean-Louis Thonnard and Philippe Lefèvre on their publication in the Journal of Neuroscience. Their research, conducted with ESA and 11 ISS astronauts for 21 years, reveals a surprising finding: On Earth, the brain relies on gravity as a reference point to coordinate eye and hand movements. In microgravity, this coordination is disrupted, leading to systematic movement errors. It shows that gravity is not just something we fight against, it’s something our brain actively uses to guide movement.

Focus on ICTEAM research

 

Professor Martin Andraud, a recently-arrived faculty member at ICTEAM, is at the forefront of developing cutting-edge hardware for embedded artificial intelligence (AI). As part of the EU-funded FAMES Pilot Line initiative, Professor Andraud is contributing to efforts aimed at restoring Europe’s economic sovereignty in semiconductor technologies. His focus? Creating groundbreaking AI accelerators using emerging analog technologies to drive efficiency and sustainability in AI applications.

 

PhD Student Donatien Schmitz and Prof. Etienne Rivière, in collaboration with Guillaume Rosinosky from IMT Atlantique Nantes, have been working on a new innovative automatic scaling policy called Justin that allocates just enough memory to the operators of an Stream Processing application. Through experimental analysis, they emphasized that the performance of some operators is not strictly bound to the amount of CPU core available but highly depends on the amount of memory available.

 
Exoplanets are planets orbiting stars outside our solar system and are difficult to detect due to their faintness and the bright light of host stars. Traditional detection methods struggle to isolate planetary signals from noise. A team led by Professor Pierre-Antoine Absil and Nicolas Gillis, along with Dr Hazan Daglayan Sevim, developed a low-rank approximation approach that utilizes sparse modeling and matrix completion to improve the separation of planetary signals from background noise.

Events

 
ICTEAM will be present at the Printemps des Sciences, the unmissable science and technology event in Wallonia and Brussels. Student, teacher, curious or passionate will embark on a scientific adventure and navigate through numerous activities and discoveries.
 
ICTEAM hosts a Francqui chair holder, Prof. Hannu Toivonen, from the University of Helsinki, Finland. Prof. Toivonen is a world-renowned expert in data mining and computational creativity. On this occasion, we are delighted to organizea half-day seminar on computational creativity.
 
Computer science projects for girls in Years 5 and 6 of secondary school? This is what STEM PROJECT DAYS is offering from April 21 to 23, 2025, on the UCLouvain campus in Charleroi (site A6K).

Courses

 
The morning graduate course and afternoon workshop are motivated by physical systems and control, and in particular by the design and control of physical computing devices. This may span the whole history starting with the mechanical computer of Charles Babbage (or even before), via the first analog electrical computers to modern day computers, as well as today’s efforts in building neuro-computing devices and quantum computers.
