The Experience of Lying: designing architecture for a wholesome hospital environment. KU Leuven
Hospital buildings tend to be experienced by patients from a, for architects, atypical perspective, namely lying in a hospital bed. This altered perspective has a significant impact on patients’ spatial experience. Gaining insight into this experience is for most architects not trivial, but crucial if they are to design truly patient-centred hospitals.
This PhD research started from a twofold aim. The first aim was to gain insight into ...

Restricted Desire: Contemporary Christian Anthropology in the Light of Medieval Mystics’ Experience of Eucharistic Loss Restricted Desire: Contemporary Christian Anthropology in the Light of Medieval Mystics’ Experience of Eucharistic Loss Restricted Desi KU Leuven
This project concerns the human being’s desire for God, and God’s desire for humankind, as expressed through desire for the Eucharist.

Eucharistic loss ...
Advancing Knowledge on Customer Experience and Customer Experience Management: Operationalizations, Consequences, and Contingencies KU Leuven

A neuroscience approach to prison experience: On the influence of prison on the sense of agency and empathy for pain among (ex-)inmates and prison guards. Ghent University
At the end of the prison sentence, former inmates are expected to reintegrate the social system. However, past research and criminological data highlight that prison sentences are not an effective mean for preventing recidivism. This project aims to investigate, with a social neuroscience approach, the potential influence of the coercive and restrictive nature of prison on two neurocognitive processes related to decision-making: The sense of ...
The Conciliar Experience: The Participation of the Peruvian Episcopate in the Second Vatican Council and the First Conciliar Reception (1960-1968) KU Leuven
The study focuses on the participation of the Peruvian prelates in the Second Vatican Council, and the first years of the conciliar reception (1960-1968). Through the historical-theological category “conciliar experience” which refers to the prelates’ different attitudes towards the conciliar doctrinal and pastoral changes, the project studies their contribution in conciliar commissions, their interventions in aula, their participation in ...
