Analytic estimates of class numbers and relative class numbers Ghent University
The class number $h$ is possibly the most important invariant of a number field. In the present project bounds for $h$ are obtained by a combination of a sieve theoretic and analytic means. One of the new features of the project is the use of higher derivatives to bound the residue of the Dedekind zeta-function.

Writing on the Verge: a Narratological Approach to Hugo Claus’s Novels as Rewritings of Popular Narrative Patterns Ghent University
This research project focusses on the interaction between popular and elite culture and the systematic rewriting of popular narrative patterns in Hugo Claus’s novels. Starting from a narratological analysis and Moraru’s concept rewriting (2001), this project presents a detailed analysis of five novels and, taking this as a starting point, then shed light on the evolution in Claus’s writing.
A novel class of reversible Exportin-1 inhibitors for cancer therapy KU Leuven
Development of a novel class of Exportin 1 (XPO1/CRM1) inhibitors for anti-cancer therapy KU Leuven
Nuclear-cytoplasmic transport is essential for maintaining proper cellular homeostasis since it regulates the movement of large molecules (RNA and proteins) between the cytoplasm and the nucleus in a eukaryotic cells. Exportin 1 (XPO1 or CRM1) is the best characterised nuclear exporter and is responsible for the transport of a large number of different cargo proteins (e.g. p21, BCRA1, BCR-ABL and p53) to the cytoplasm. The correct ...

Collaborative grammar: the temporality and emergence of clause combination in Italian talk-in interaction KU Leuven
This research is part of a larger project on the topic of clause combination: Beyond the clause. Encoding and Inference in clause-combining (C14/18/034). In my thesis “Collaborative grammar: the temporality and emergence of clause combination in Italian talk-in-interaction”, I explore how collaborative practices of clause-combining relate to the sequential and temporal organization of turns and actions in talk-in-interaction. ...
