Structured disadvantage in tertiary education opportunities? The role of secondary school composition, structure, and processes in higher education enrollment and success. Ghent University
I propose to investigate whether higher education opportunities differ according to the attended secondary school’s social and ethnic composition. Explanations for compositional effects are sought in secondary school’s resources, facilities, and strategy for career counseling, and students’
and teachers’ attitudes, practices, and cultures in secondary education. Moreover, I study the role of higher education processes in inequality in ...

Is Latin (discourse) configurational? Information structure, word order, and the potential for structural ambiguity. Ghent University
The project investigates whether Latin can be considered a (discourse) configurational language, and by this token whether it is possible for a linear string of Latin words to be structurally ambiguous. To this end, a corpus-based experiment is carried out, which tests whether information structure is a statistically better predictor for linear order or for (structural) syntactic position.

Experiential Learning of Structures through Computational Design : Developing Structural Insight for Architecture Students KU Leuven
The instructional methods of teaching structures to the architecture students are not well adapted to the design education. While instructional methods involve an engineering and formula-based approach, constructivist approaches such as experiential learning can be provided for architecture and design students to develop higher-order thinking skills on the behaviors of structures. Experimenting physically with the variations within a ...
Structural reliability and robustness assessment of existing structures considering membrane action effects and Bayesian updating of test information Ghent University
“How safe and robust are our existing structures?” Although a lot of research concerning the structural safety level has been performed during the last decades, solving this issue for existing structures is still a challenging problem which engineers are more and more often confronted with. This is mainly because there is still not a proper framework established for assessing the safety of ageing or even deteriorated structures, nor is it ...
