Eva Van Assche

Eva Van Assche holds a master's degree in psychology (Theoretical and Experimental Psychology) and obtained her PhD at UGent. She works as a lecturer within the Applied Psychology programme and as a researcher at Thomas More's Human and Wellbeing research group. Her practice-oriented scientific research focuses on the added value of digital applications such as smartphone applications within mental health care and how they can be implemented in a sustainable way. In recent years, she worked on the European eMEN project funded by Interreg and currently works as a researcher for Onlinehulp Vlaanderen. As a lecturer, she teaches Methods of Psychological Research 1 and 2, and Digital Mental Health, where especially in the latter subject, links can be made nicely to practice-based research on digital applications in mental health care.
