As part of a research project on the medieval heritage preserved at the Moretus Plantin University Library (BUMP), the archive entrusted to it by the de Brouchoven de Bergeyck family has been meticulously studied by historian Romain Waroquier. This collection is of undeniable historical and scientific interest: hitherto unknown to researchers, it contains extremely rare documents.

Physics, an adventure in intelligence.From the infinitely small to the infinitely large, from elementary particles to galaxies, are you thirsty to understand the whys and wherefores of the natural phenomena you observe? Why is the sky blue? How does a plane take off? How can radiation be used to treat illness?What are the effects of global warming? How can nanotechnology revolutionize telecommunications? How can we produce energy without exhausting the planet?Physics answers all your questions.

The Physics Department's research today focuses on the study of inert or living materials, various forms of radiation, and their interactions. The Department of Physics is divided into 5 promising and original research themes, explored within several Research Institutes and supported by technological platforms.

Department members participate in regional and national councils, international commissions and evaluation committees.High-level group for 3% in research (European Lisbon agreement) (2004-2005)Radio-protectionMarshall Plan evaluation committeesEuropean project selection and evaluation committeesNational committee for physics and crystallographyIn the teaching field, the Department organizes several pedagogical days for secondary school teachers each year. It regularly welcomes secondary school classes to its practical work rooms. High school students are also welcome to observe internships in research laboratories.

The fight against disease is both a science and an art. Knowledge of human beings, pathologies and medicines is the key to fighting disease. But the essence of the medical art is practiced in contact with patients, who are looking for a doctor who is rigorous, with solid knowledge and sound reasoning, but who is also deeply warm and human.

The Department of Medicine is equipped with an anatomy laboratory and a clinical teaching support laboratory.Other research entities belonging to the Faculty of Medicine are transversal and also rely on collaboration with UCL Godinne University Hospital within the Namur Institute for Life Sciences (Narilis) research institute.

Training rooted in the history of philosophy to serve an understanding of major contemporary issues: ecology, the commons, digital and technology, cinema, non-European thought...

The library is specially organized for the department's students, to facilitate their access to the main philosophical texts and their commentaries (mainly in French ). It also contains a good stock of secondary literature on subjects that are the subject of teaching (social and political philosophy, logic, aesthetics, anthropology, etc.), always in French. A special part of the library is also devoted to working tools (encyclopedias, philosophy textbooks and dictionaries)..

The department includes several academics, each specialized in a specific area of teaching, an assistant in charge of student supervision, as well as PhD students and post-doctoral researchers. All members of the department work closely together. The department is equipped with a library and two seminar rooms in which most specialty courses take place.The seminar rooms and the offices of professors and assistants are located on the 5th floor of the Philosophy and Humanities Building.A alumni association is present within the department.

Abstract Deep learning has become an extremely important technology in numerous domains such as computer vision, natural language processing, and autonomous systems. As neural networks grow in size and complexity to meet the demands of these applications, the cost of designing and training efficient models continues to rise in computation and energy consumption. Neural Architecture Search (NAS) has emerged as a promising solution to automate the design of performant neural networks. However, conventional NAS methods often require evaluating thousands of architectures, making them extremely resource-intensive and environmentally costly.This thesis introduces a novel, energy-aware NAS pipeline that operates at the intersection of Software Engineering and Machine Learning. We present CNNGen, a domain-specific generator for convolutional architectures, combined with performance and energy predictors to drastically reduce the number of architectures that need full training. These predictors are integrated into a multi-objective genetic algorithm (NSGA-II), enabling an efficient search for architectures that balance accuracy and energy consumption.Our approach explores a variety of prediction strategies, including sequence-based models, image-based representations, and deep metric learning, to estimate model quality from partial or symbolic representations. We validate our framework across three benchmark datasets, CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, and Fashion-MNIST, demonstrating that it can produce results comparable to state-of-the-art architectures with significantly lower computational cost. By reducing the environmental footprint of NAS while maintaining high performance, this work contributes to the growing field of Green AI and highlights the value of predictive modelling in scalable and sustainable deep learning workflows.
