Eva Van den Bussche is currently a research professor at KU Leuven (Belgium). She received her PhD in Psychology from KU Leuven in 2009. During her postdoc period with a fellowship of the Research Foundation-Flanders (FWO), she visited the Université Paris Descartes as a postdoc fellow. Afterwards, she accepted an assistant professorship position at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel in 2010 and worked at the University of Essex as a visiting lecturer. In 2018, Eva moved back to KU Leuven, where she was awarded a highly competitive associate research professorship (BOFZAP). In 2021 she was promoted to professor.

Eva's research group investigates cognitive control, both from a fundamental and a more clinical/developmental angle, using experimental and neuroimaging methods and advocating an open science policy. Their goal is to place cognitive control in a broader context, incorporating task-related, dynamic, social and developmental aspects of cognitive control exertion, ultimately bringing us closer to how cognitive control functions in everyday life.

During the past years, Eva has been a member of the executive committee of the European Society for Cognitive Psychology (ESCoP) and the treasurer of the Belgian Association for Psychological Sciences. In 2021, Eva was also elected to serve a partial term on the Governing Board of the Psychonomic Society, completing the term vacated by Marc Brysbaert when he left to become the Editor-in-Chief of Behavior Research Methods. She has chaired and been a member of several Psychonomic Society committees during the past four years.
