In 2011-2012, he was postdoctoral researcher at the University of Cambridge.

Now, he is tenure-track professor associated with the Forest & Nature Lab, Faculty of Bioscience Engineering, Ghent University. His research field is the dynamics of plants in a changing environment. He utilizes observational and experimental approaches as well as large databases and modelling to address questions in connection to plant dynamics and global change themes (climate change, land-use changes and nitrogen pollution).
