One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is contributing to the education and supervision of the next generation of researchers or (UX) designers. Here are the doctoral students I have the honor to supervise as a thesis promotor (“habilitation” to direct research obtained in 2020 from the University of Luxembourg) or co-supervise, as well as the Master theses.
