About the research
Imagine drones could deliver pizzas or packages to your doorstep. Therefore, such a drone would have to be self-navigating, and able to detect obstacles in its path. Most drones are currently equipped with cameras to help navigate, but cameras are quite expensive and they don't perform well in harsh weather and light conditions. That's why Adnan Albaba (Imec - VUB) is developing new algorithms to help drones as well as other autonomous vehicles navigate with radar technology.

Through her research, Olga Gkotsopoulou (VUB) wants to raise awareness and help organizations make information about our personal data accessible to the widest audience possible.

A personal data breach is not to be taken lightly: it can lead to depression, divorce, and even death. Seems far-fetched? Not really, as the data breach of a Canadian adultery website showed in 2015. Lina Jasmontaite (VUB) researches how companies (should) handle data breaches in Europe, since the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
