At UNamur, a doctoral thesis led by Jozie Tientcheu—with support from SPW Recherche as part of the Win4Doc program—is exploring a new approach to speed up the diagnosis of bacterial antibiotic resistance. Called STABLE2, the project is being developed in collaboration with Coris BioConcept, a Walloon company specializing in rapid diagnostic tests.

Medical certificate & Exam postponement In the event of illness during an examination period, you may refer to the Study Regulations:Article 43. Inability to take part in an assessment§1st. Any student registered for an assessment who is unable to take part must notify the examiner concerned and the vice-dean or his/her delegate no later than the day of the assessment, and comply with the provisions of article 44. Otherwise, a student's absence from an assessment will be sanctioned by a mark of 0/20.§2. To prove that a student is unable to take part in an assessment, he or she may present a medical certificate covering the period in question.§3. It is forbidden to take part in an assessment during the period covered by a medical certificate. The student who participates in an assessment despite a deficient state of health or serious personal problems, cannot under any circumstances have the result subsequently cancelled, even with a medical certificate or any other attestation.

Catherine Linard, a researcher in the Department of Geography at UNamur, was recognized for her work at the intersection of geography and epidemiology. This Francqui-Collen fellowship will allow her, starting in September and for the next three years, to be relieved of most of her teaching duties so she can devote more time to her research on the influence of environmental changes on the spread of infectious diseases. 

AbstractThe development of efficient heterogeneous acid catalysts is essential for the sustainable valorization of biomass-derived platform molecules. This Ph.D. thesis focuses on the design, synthesis, characterization, and catalytic evaluation of novel acidic materials for two representative biomass upgrading reactions: the ketalization of glycerol to solketal and the conversion of ethyl levulinate to γ-valerolactone. Several classes of catalysts were investigated, including Group IV metal-doped mesoporous silica nanotubes and hollow nanospheres, sulfonic acid-functionalized silica materials, and porous metal phosphonates. The aim was to establish relationships between the properties of the catalysts—in particular their acidity—and their catalytic performance.The results demonstrated that the nature of the metal cation in metal-doped nanostructured silica strongly influences catalyst acidity and reactivity. Furthermore, synthesis parameters such as the loading of the metal cation and the preparation method were shown to control the Lewis/Brønsted ratio and the strength of Lewis acid sites, allowing the tuning of catalytic performance. Materials rich in Lewis acidity preferentially promoted the conversion of ethyl levulinate, while catalysts with higher Brønsted acidity were more effective in glycerol ketalization.The introduction of sulfonic acid groups significantly enhanced Brønsted acidity and led to extremely active catalysts for solketal production. At the same time, studies on layered phosphonates highlighted the crucial role of the phosphoric spacer in ensuring material stability and enabling their reuse over multiple catalytic cycles. For amorphous porous metal phosphonates, key synthetic parameters—including acid concentration, solvent choice, and the use of a templating agent—were found to significantly influence the acidity of the materials and, consequently, their catalytic activity.Overall, this work provides valuable insights into structure-acidity-reactivity relationships and offers guidelines for the rational design of heterogeneous acid catalysts for biomass valorization.JuryProf. Jérémy DEHON (UNamur), ChairProf. Carmela APRILE (UNamur), SecretaryProf. Sophie HERMANS (UCLouvain)Prof. Damien DEBECKER (UCLouvain)Prof. Vera MEYNEN (UAntwerpen)Prof. Tatjana PARAC-VOGT (KULeuven)
