Projects
Flat photography and two-dimensional pictorial organization. University of Antwerp
Photography and the public domain: managing knowledge and intellectual property, 1871-2003 Ghent University
This project provides a long-term perspective on the sharing and public disclosure of innovative technological knowledge. It focuses on the development of photographic emulsion technology in the United States and Europe.
Research of the modifications of silver nano particles by degradation and conservation treatments of photographs. University of Antwerp
The physical environment and older adults' physical activity: expeirments using photographs on the conscious and unconscious choice of where to be physically activity Ghent University
This project aims to: (1) explore environmental influences on walking in older adults, (2) identify key environment characteristics related to walking and (3) investigate the causal effects of changes in these key characteristics related to walking. These studies are based upon novel methods using go-along interviews, (manipulation of) photographs and choice tasks.

Six Degrees of Image Creation: Developing a community-driven, photographic production and distribution cycle in the virtual and material world. University of Antwerp
Solvable models of quantum gravity and holography Ghent University
The black hole information paradox raised by Hawking in the '70s and other related problems in the quantization of gravity have remained unanswered for quite some time. The difficulties regarding the non-renormalizability of the Einstein-Hilbert action can be averted by working in lower dimensions. By formulating this theory in the context of holography, we are guided by the major breakthroughs in that field throughout the years. In this ...
Sabbatical Nikolay Bobev: Exact holography, string theory, and black holes KU Leuven
In the past several years there have been rapid advances in our understanding of black hole physics in string theory driven by new developments in quantum field theory and the AdS/CFT (or holographic) correspondence. A central role in these developments is played by new calculational techniques both on the quantum field theory and the gravitational sides of the correspondence. My research group has contributed important and foundational ...
