Michel Meulders serves as Associate Professor of Statistics at the Operations Research and Statistics Research Group (ORSTAT) within KU Leuven's Faculty of Economics and Business. His dual-campus appointments (Brussels and Leuven) reflect his interdisciplinary work bridging statistical methodology with psychological applications, particularly in discrete choice modeling and pain research. Education: 1994: Licentiate in Psychology 2000: PhD in Psychology Research Focus: Dr. Meulders' work centers on discrete choice modeling and multivariate statistics , with significant contributions to quantitative psychology and psychometrics . His methodological innovations address sample size determination , preference heterogeneity , and attribute non-attendance in choice experiments, while applied research explores pain perception and avoidance behavior modulation through positive affect and social support. Publication Trends: Recent work (2022-2025) reveals two converging streams: (1) advanced discrete choice methodologies (machine learning integration, experimental design optimization) and (2) psychological applications (VR pain interventions, social media impact on health behavior). This interdisciplinary approach uniquely connects econometric modeling with clinical psychology through rigorous statistical frameworks. Academic Leadership: PhD Supervision: Primary advisor for S.Y. Assele (discrete choice experiments) and A. Gutierrez Vargas (heterogeneity modeling) Current Projects: Topics in Discrete Choice Modeling (2022-2026) - Co-promotor Heterogeneity in Discrete Choice Models (2019-2023) - Co-promotor Discrete Choice Experiments: Screening & Framing (2018-2023) - Co-promotor Administrative Roles: Head of Subdivision 29 (Brussels Campus), Council member for FEB and Campus Council Research Ecosystem: Dr. Meulders operates at the intersection of ORSTAT's operations research expertise and the Quantitative Psychology group's behavioral science focus, facilitating cross-campus collaborations on statistical methodology development and psychological application testing. His work with the LStat General Assembly further extends methodological influence across KU Leuven's research infrastructure.
