Undergraduate studies
High school degree obtained in 1991/1992, Sciences A (option 9 hours mathematics), at "Sint-Vincentiuscollege", Ieper.
Academic (University) studies
Academic studies
4 years degree course in Physics (University of Gent), according to the basic Belgian scheme, with a specialization in Theoretical Physics. These studies led to the diploma of
- 'Kandidaat in de Natuurkunde' with Great Distinction, University of Ghent, June 1994
- 'Licentiaat in de Theoretische Natuurkunde' with Great Distinction, University of Ghent, June 1996
These can be roughly compared with a bachelor and a master degree.
Graduation thesis:
Contribution to the studie of Virtual Comptonscattering
Supervisor: Prof. D. Ryckbosch (department of Subatomic and Radiation Physics).
Abstract: Virtual Comptonscattering is an inelastic scattering of the electron on the proton. In this interaction a photon is emitted. Measuring of the virtual Comptonscattering must be discerned from the "normal" elastic scattering.
Large scale experiments like measuring virtual comptonscattering are always accompanied by simulationprogramms to test the theory to the practical surroundings. The Thesis consisted of adapting the constructed simulation programm to simulate the "normal" elastic scattering. With this, the applied numerical approximations could be tested by comparison to earlier experiments of the Comptonscattering.
Continued Academic studies
- Master in Applied Informatics' (GASTI), Vrije Univeristeit Brussel, 1998-2001, evening courses.
Master thesis: Aspects of the numerical modelling of flow problems in poreous media,
promotor: Prof. W. Patrick De Wilde (VUB) en Roger Van Keer (UGent).
Abstract: Development of a GUI programm to simulate the steady-state equilibrium of 2-dimensional, vertical groundwaterflow. First an analytical solution was derived for a nontrivial domain. This theoretical solution was implemented in Maple, and then compared to a numerical finite element simulation of the same problem. The numerical programm has been implemented in C++ with QT/KDE as general as possible.

Work experience
- 09.1996 - 12.2000
During this period I worked full-time for NV Infoco (formerly a part of Dolmen) a software company working for one of the major distributors in Belgium, Colruyt.
I started working as a Software Engineer, but soon became Software Analyst. Some projects I worked on: renewing the reception system of goods, optimal storage in own warehouses and rented warehouses, freshness controll, etc.
Some of the work was done alone, but most was done as part of a software team. During this period I got a good practical knowledge of the programming languages Objectstar amd PLI, of network and relational databases and of the managing aspects (cost estimate, time estimation, presentation, workload, ...) that come with big software projects.
- 01.2001 - 10.2006
From january 2001 I work as an assistent for the faculty of Applied Sciences, Department of Mathematical Analysis. This work is divided in 2 parts : 50% teaching activities and 50% research activities. This led to my PhD on 07.07.2006.
