I started my academic career at the Department of Movement and Sports Sciences of Ghent University in September 2009, and began my doctoral research as part of the muscoLOW-project in January 2010. This doctoral research focused on the epidemiology, etiology and prevention of sports injuries among Physical Education Teacher Education students. As part of this project, I developed, implemented and evaluated a prevention program for Physical Education Teacher Education students. I successfully defended my PhD-thesis in November 2015. From March 2015 to February 2016, I provided scientific services for the Flemish Society of Sports Medicine, a role in which I realized steps 1-5 of the Translating Research into Prevention Practice (TRIPP) model for Sports Injury Prevention in Flanders. Thanks to the satisfying results of the latter project and my doctoral research, I obtained a postdoctoral grant for the project entitled ‘Societal Valorization: Optimization, Implementation and Evaluation of Primary Sports Injury Prevention in Young Flemish Athletes (2016-2018)’ from the Flemish Ministry of Sports. During this three-year fulltime postdoctoral position at Ghent University, I realized the optimization, implementation and feasibility testing of sports injury prevention on a nation-wide scale in Flanders. Over the past years, I have gained extensive experience in scientific presentations at international conferences, as well as valorization activities such as trainings and workshops. I co-supervised three PhD-students and served as jury member for several PhD defenses. Moreover, I actively participated in various sports-related advisory boards. To complement my scientific background regarding sports injury prevention with experience on the field, I worked from 2014 to 2018 as physical coach for Belgian professional football club KAA Gent. I have published 11 JCR articles (5 as first author, 82% in first quartile) and 1 book chapter since 2010. According to Web of Science, these publications were cited +200 times. I am currently working as lecturer and researcher at Loyola University (Andalucía - Spain). Among other projects, I am developing the physical activity module for an mHealth intervention ‘e-Perinatal’ led by Prof. Emma Motrico and funded by the European Research Council.
