Prof. Dr. Erik Nuyts is researcher and lecturer at the University College PXL and associate professor at the University of Hasselt. He got a master degree in mathematics (University of Leuven, Belgium: 1983), and afterwards a PhD in biology (University of Hasselt, Belgium:1994). Since his specialty is research methodology and analysis, his working area is not limited to one specific field. His experiences in research, therefore, vary from mathematics to biology, traffic engineering and credit risks, health care, physical education, (interior) architecture and typography. His responsibilities both at the University College PXL as at the University of Hasselt involve the preparation of research methodology, data collection, and statistical analyses in many different projects. He is responsible for courses in research design, statistics, and mathematics.
