His work focuses on cereal constituents and dietary fibre, as well as enzymes and microorganisms in cereal processing and health. He serves as coordinator of the successful EU project HealthFerm, in which ICC participates as an affiliated partner. Together with KU Leuven as host institution, he chaired the 8th International Conference on Dietary Fibre (2022) and the 5th International Symposium on Gluten-Free Cereal Products and Beverages (2019), both of which were highly successful events.
