Structured Low-Rank Matrix/Tensor Approximation
Numerical Optimization-Based Algorithms and Applications
A paper by researcher Wanqiu Zhang (KU Leuven, ESAT-STADIUS) et al. has been featured on the cover of a special issue, focusing on Mass Spectrometry Imaging, of the journal Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry (volume 413, issue 10, April 2021).
Prof. Bart De Moor (KU Leuven, ESAT-STADIUS) was honoured as Commander in the Order of Leopold I by King Filip. The order of Leopold I is the oldest and highest order of Belgium and rewards meritorious services to the Kingdom of Belgium based on the career path of the recipient.
On Wednesday 7th of October, the “Renson chair for data driven servitization in creating healthy spaces” was officially launched.
This chair involves a strategic collaboration for at least three years between KU Leuven and the pioneer in solar shading, ventilation and “outdoor living” Renson in Waregem.
KU Leuven will investigate how data, artificial intelligence and smart technology can contribute to a healthy indoor climate. They will also investigate how an overall solution for healthy and comfortable living can be offered as a service for builders, renovators and residents in the future. The partnership will also address the legal and building technology aspects, as well as the role that future climate change will play.
For KU Leuven it is in particular KU Leuven Campus Kortrijk and Technology Campus Ghent who join forces. The chair is held by professors Hilde Breesch and Evelyne Terryn, and co-held by professors Lieven De Lathauwer, Koen Van Den Abeele and Maarten Vergauwen.

The IBM Innovation Award recognizes an outstanding PhD thesis that presents an original contribution to informatics or its applications in among others artificial intelligence and big data & analytics. FWO/FNRS awards this prize to Nico Vervliet for his thesis “Compressed sensing approaches to large scale tensor decompositions”, which he defended in 2018 in the team of Prof. Lieven De Lathauwer.
Nico Vervliet is awarded the Nokia Bell Scientific Award 2019 for his doctoral dissertation on “Compressed sensing approaches to large scale tensor decompositions”. This award, granted by FWO-FNRS and funded by Nokia Belgium, is meant to reward the PhD thesis that brings the most original contribution in the field of information and communication technologies.
The Workshop on Low-Rank Models and Applications, sponsored by the ERC, will take place at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Mons, Belgium in September 12-13, 2019. The workshop will be focused on the use of low-rank models in signal processing, data mining and machine learning. This includes but is not restricted to all aspects of low-rank matrix approximations (such as nonnegative matrix factorization, subspace clustering, independent component analysis, low-rank matrix completion, sparse component analysis, etc.).
The plenary speakers are: José M. Bioucas Dias (Universidade de Lisboa), Cédric Févotte (CNRS, Institut de Recherche en Informatique de Toulouse), Christian Grussler (Cambridge University), Nicola Guglielmi (University of L’Aquila), Valeria Simoncini (Università di Bologna), Vincent Tan (National University of Singapore), André Uschmajew (Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences, Leipzig), Stephen Vavasis (University of Waterloo) and Zhihui Zhu (Johns Hopkins University).

The call for papers is available here.
The 38th Benelux Meeting on Systems and Control will be held at “Center Parcs De Vossemeren”, Lommel, Belgium, on March 19 – 21, 2019.
The aim of this meeting is to promote research activities and cooperation between researchers in Systems and Control. It is the thirty-eighth in a series of annual conferences that are held alternately in Belgium and The Netherlands. The meeting is organized by KU Leuven.
Deadline abstracts submission: January 26, 2019
