Alice Thise
Alice Thise holds a master’s degree in architecture from the University of Liège (2024). During her studies, she had the opportunity to participate in an Erasmus program in Lisbon focused on the adaptive reuse of heritage sites. It was during this exchange that she began her final thesis on heritage education for students through video games. Her thesis allowed her to bridge the gap between her academic background and one of her areas of interest. Choosing this topic enabled her to write a thesis on a subject that had not yet been extensively explored. Following a discussion with her advisor, Prof. Pierre Hallot, about her desire to continue her work, she was offered a position as a research assistant at the University of Liège to fund her doctoral research. The topic of her dissertation builds on her final thesis and is titled: “The Impact of Serious Games on Communication and Knowledge of Architectural Heritage.” Her final thesis project enabled her to create a video game that allows users to experience the design and excavation process of a heritage site—the funerary chapel of the nobleman Sennefer, located at a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Luxor, Egypt. This monument is part of a Belgian archaeological mission studying the Theban Necropolis, conducted jointly by the Université Libre de Bruxelles and the University of Liège.
In addition, Alice is a member of the Liège Game Lab as well as the International Committee on Architectural Photogrammetry Emerging Professionals (CIPA EP), where she is involved in the communication of the group’s activities (training school, conferences, etc.).
