Projects
- Current
- DigiWork Whether and how the use of digital technology relates to stress, fatigue and burn-out in everyday life. Flemish adults complete short daily surveys for 100 days while their smartphone and computer use is logged, with smartwatch data on activity, sleep and stress where available.
- 2021–2025
- DISCONNECT How people balance the benefits and drawbacks of constant connectivity: how digital well-being is understood and practised, how psychological, technological and social factors shape it, and what digital disconnection means for individuals and society.
Research lines
Digital trace data
What smartphone and computer log data capture about everyday media use, and how theoretical interpretation, granularity and scope shape the conclusions we draw from them.
Availability pressure and online vigilance
How feeling “always on” relates to fatigue and well-being, studied through large-scale experience sampling combined with smartphone trace data.
Methods and open science
Experience sampling designs, multilevel modelling and reproducible research workflows.
