STADIUS Center for Dynamical Systems, Signal Processing, and Data Analytics pursues excellence in an explicit and synergistic combination of fundamental and applied research:
With core concepts from linear and multi-linear algebra, statistics, optimization, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, the fundamental research is focused on the development of mathematical engineering tools and numerical algorithms.
Building upon this foundation, the applied research is geared towards putting these tools and algorithms into motion in order to advance the current state of technology across a wide range of relevant application fields, including industrial automation and control, speech and audio signal processing, digital communications, biomedical data analysis and signal processing, bioinformatics and systems biology.

Top delegation of KU Leuven honours medieval composer Josquin Desprez in Vatican
25 April 2022
Last week Prof. Bart De Moor (STADIUS) accompanied rector Luc Sels and Flemish Prime Minister & Minister for Culture Jan Jambon to Rome for a two-day event to celebrate Franco-Flemish composer Josquin Desprez, who died 500 years ago. Desprez, a star of medieval polyphonic music, is now researched at the Alamire foundation (in Abdij Van Park).
During the visit, they invited Pope Franciscus to Leuven to celebrate the 500-year existence of KU Leuven in 2025. Furthermore, the celebrations comprised an audience with Cardinal Pietro Parolin (“Secretary of State” of the Vatican), a visit to the Belgian embassy in Rome, to the Sistine Chapel to admire the signature of Josquin in the loggia, and a two-day academic symposium moderated by Prof. David Burn of the KU Leuven Musicology Department.
