He previously completed his master’s degree in physics in KULeuven in 2024.

Thesis title

Exploring the non-equilibrium states of matter

• Emergence of large-scale behaviour from microscopic dynamics
• Non-equilibrium spin systems
• Numerical and analytical treatment of stochastic generators of random processes

Specifically, Meander is interested in the understanding the beauty of emergent phenomena within non-equilibrium systems.

PhD supervision

First supervisor: François Huveneers

Second supervisor: Benjamin Doyon
