Any Body, My Self: Conceptual Art and Personhood. University of Antwerp
Position of women in the professional field of art Ghent University
Initially, a description will be given of the careers, socio-economic situation and income of architects and designers in Flanders. Based on the first descriptive analyzes, we will outline a general profile of the architects and designers in Flanders.
We also make the comparison with the previous query. In this way, the research will give a comparative view of the disciplines, and will enable us to support a sector-specific policy ...
Posing questions: Male models and modernity in the Belgian art world (1830-1914) Ghent University
The PhD will chart the effects on male models of the rise of modern art in 19th-century Belgium, as moder-nism from the 1840s on challenged conventions precisely like those of the traditional artist’s model and of the idealized male nude. In doing so, it will unite an aesthetic, a sociological and a discursive perspective into an in-depth qualitative study.

Contributions of history dependent muscle action to stability and efficiency of whole body human movements KU Leuven
Computer models have become an important tool to understand causal mechanisms underlying human movement. Simulating realistic musculoskeletal dynamics is critical to understanding neural control of muscle activity and motor performance. State-of-the-art simulations of motion are based on phenomenological muscle-tendon models that do not take into account the history dependence of muscle action. However, force enhancement and depression ...
BOF TT Art and architecture of West and South Asia Ghent University
A tenure track appointment grants one the privilege of focusing primarily on research for a period of 5 years, with a limited teaching load.
(Re)-presentation in image and art. KU Leuven
Fundamental questions in this research are 1) why do we have Gestalts? 2) what are the characteristics and functional implications of this organization into Gestalts and 3) how general are the Gestalts? We will continue our ambitious GestaltReVision program at a deeper and more advanced level by studying key aspects of Gestalts in vision, art and autism.
HELICITY: Evolution of correlated traits in response to city life: helicid snails as windows on the consequences of urban history Ghent University
Urbanization is one of the most dramatic land-use changes caused by humans, combining habitat fragmentation and loss, pollutions and increased temperature. While it causes numerous population declines in many species, others persist or even thrive in cities, possibly through evolutionary changes. In this project, I will study how urbanization shapes multivariate phenotypic evolution in such an organism, including not only life-history ...
