Dr. Kalckert has a background in neuroscience and cognitive science, with international experience studying and working in Germany, Austria, Hungary, Sweden, and Malaysia. He teaches at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels in areas including biopsychology, perception, cognitive functions, and research methods.
His research focuses on the processes underlying the experience of one's own body, particularly examining the role of movements from both psychological and neuroscientific perspectives.

Dr. Kalckert's recent research has centered on the rubber hand illusion, self-face perception, and the relationship between bodily dimensions and personality traits. His publications demonstrate a consistent focus on understanding how the brain constructs our experience of having a body.
He is currently leading several ongoing research projects including:
- Self-face perception (2022-2025)
- Embodiment and disembodiment in the rubber hand illusion (2021-2025)
- A graph analysis of rubber hand illusion questionnaire data (2023-2025)
