Lucien graduated with distinction in philosophy from the KU Leuven, where he specialised in continental philosophy with notable interest in existential phenomenology and traditional metaphysics. Subsequently, he pursued a PhD project in the field of responsible innovation at Wageningen University which he completed in 2022. During his PhD, Lucien went on research visits to Arizona State University and the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique, and worked as a research consultant for the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. More recently, in 2023, Lucien served as Visiting Professor at the Federal University of Paraná.

He is also an UEFA-Advanced licensed football coach with more than ten years of international coaching experience. He has previously worked for several professional football clubs, including AFC Ajax, KRC Genk, and Oud-Heverlee Leuven. In addition, Lucien takes professional acting courses at the London City Academy to incorporate drama-based techniques in his public speaking and teaching practices. He enjoys a multicultural background and is fluent in Dutch, English, Spanish, and French.
