Hi, you have reached my personal website. I am currently working as a post-doctoral fellow with the Research Foundation - Flanders. At the moment, I am still affiliated with the Department of Experimental Psychology of Ghent University. However, starting February, 2009 I will be on a research visit at the eye-tracking lab of the University of Southampton in the UK and starting September 1st, 2010 I will start a position as a lecturer in quantative methods there and officially move to the School of Psychology of the University of Southampton.


The past years I’ve spent quite some time working in other labs.

In total I’ve spent some 2.5 years working at the eye-tracking lab of the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, MA, (USA). I visited the lab three times (01/04 - 06/04, 10/05 - 09/06, 10/07 - 08/08).

I started out my research in the field of visual word recognition (e.g. Drieghe & Brysbaert, 2002) before moving into studying linguistic processing of words embedded in sentences.  Nowadays, my research can be situated in the research field of eye movements in reading and is focused on issues mainly but not exclusively concerning parafoveal processing: How accurate is parafoveal processing, and how does it influence the decision whether to skip the next word or not; How does it relate to foveal processing (i.e. simultaneous or only after foveal processing has been  concluded), etc...  Besides these questions I'm also interested in a wide range of phenomena, all dealing with either eye movements in reading or the processing of words in general.
