I am writing a book titled "Do Animals Make Art?".
I have been researcher and manager (coordination team member H2020 EU-project Pop-Machina) in BEE - Behavioral Engeneering at the KU Leuven. I will soon take up the role of Research Manager at the Antwerp Research Institute for the Arts at the University of Antwerp, Belgium. Before I had appointments as lecturer in the Department of Social Psychology at Tilburg University, a postdoctoral fellow in BEE - Behavioral Engeneering at KU Leuven, a junior research fellow at the Konrad Lorenz Institute, and a field assistant of Filippo Aureli in a study of the social behavior of spider monkeys in their natural habitat. I am also affiliated with BECO - Behavioural Ecology and Ecophysiology at the University of Antwerp. In addition, I am co-supervisor of Alexandra Crouwers's PhD in arts project 'The Appeal of the Unreal'.
I did a double PhD in philosophy (KU Leuven) and biology (University of Antwerp) with Andreas De Block, Siegfried Dewitte and Marcel Eens. I also studied painting for a couple of years before graduating in biology.
My work focuses on the biology of art and the art of biology.
