The multidisciplinary EY Subsidia team assists clients in obtaining funding for projects in a variety of regional, national and European subsidy programmes. This includes identification of opportunities, building a business case and work package approach, elaboration and submission of the proposal, up to project managemet and reporting.

Because of my engineering background, my personal focus was on SME Innovation projects, large R&D projects, and the H2020 SME Instrument. In total, I have assisted clients in obtaining over € 3,8 million in subsidies.

I also started the Belgian branch of EY Unity, the firm's global network for LGBT employees and allies.

Ghent University

I developed alternative luminescent materials to make LED lighting better, cheaper and more efficient, and was also involved in the project management, guiding master thesis and PhD students, and several extra-curricular activities such as courses, conferences, or science popularization.

Postdoctoral Researcher

As a PhD researcher in physics I unraveled the kinetics and compounds in persistent luminescence (also known as glow-in-the-dark). I studied this specific kind of luminescence from a theoretical, experimental and modeling point of view. This included writing the first ever comprehensive review papers on persistent luminescence, resulting in over 900 citations by 2020.

Besides this pure research, I was also involved in teaching, conferences, lots of presentations, article writing, science popularization and several courses on transferable skills and personal development.

PhD Researcher

Slovak University of Technology

I studied the influence of sample thickness on Mössbauer spectroscopy, and did some simulations on ion beam impact on samples using SRIM simulation software. This traineeship abroad (thanks to IAESTE) was one of the most life-changing experiences ever!

Now that all the Nobel laureates for 2025 are known, it's time to update my 'Women of the Nobel Prize' visual!

This year, 2 women received the Prize: Mary E. Brunkow wins the Nobel Prize in Medicine for her discovery of peripheral immune tolerance, and Maria Corina Machado wins the Peace Prize for promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela.

The Nobel Prize exists since 1901. In those 125 years, the Prize was awarded 927 times to a man, but only 68 times to a woman. 2009 was a record year, with 5 women winning the Prize.

Turning your complex data into powerful visual stories 📊

Infographic titled “Women of the Nobel Prize”, designed by Koen Van den Eeckhout. It visualizes the gender distribution of Nobel Prize laureates from 1901 to 2025 across six categories: Medicine, Physics, Chemistry, Literature, Peace, and Economics.

Each category is represented by a horizontal timeline of small bars — beige for men, pink for women, and blue for organizations (in the Peace category). Portraits of notable women laureates, such as Marie Skłodowska-Curie (Physics 1903, Chemistry 1911), Gerty Cori (Medicine 1947), Elinor Ostrom (Economics 2009), and others, are shown along the timelines with their award years and prize shares.

Text annotations summarize totals per category:

Medicine: 218 men, 14 women (6.0%)

Physics: 225 men, 5 women (2.2%)

Chemistry: 191 men, 8 women (4.0%)

Literature: 104 men, 18 women (14.8%)

Peace: 92 men, 20 women, 31 organizations (14.0%)

Economics: 96 men, 3 women (3.0%)

A paragraph notes that in 125 years, the Nobel Prize was awarded 927 times to men and 68 times to women. It highlights the 2025 laureates: Mary E. Brunkow (Medicine) and Maria Corina Machado (Peace).

At the bottom, a bar chart shows annual totals of male (beige) and female (pink) laureates from 1901 to 2025, illustrating gradual increases in women’s representation over time. The footer credits the data source (nobelprize.org) and the designer.
