Paul De Boeck

Paul De Boeck has a Ph.D. degree from the KU Leuven in Belgium (Flanders), where he also has spent most of his career. From 2009 to 2012, he was affiliated with the University of Amsterdam. He is a former president of the Psychometric Society (2008) and was the first editor of the Applied Research and Case Studies section of Psychometrika.

He is interested in individual differences in various domains, and in quantitative approaches in general.

His early quantitative work concerns primarily classification models based on disjunctive and conjunctive rules (HICLAS), while his more recent work concerns model development and applications in the domain of item response theory (IRT) and logistic mixed models. Within IRT he focuses on explanatory models and explanatory measurement, and recently also on IRTree models for decision making and cognitive processes.
