About me

I am an AI researcher at Howest University of applied sciences.
I am affiliated to Cyber3Lab, AI Lab and Digital Health lab.
Here, we try to bridge the gap between the academic and private sector
by implementing the latest cutting-edge research in AI, cybersecurity or immersive technology to real-world challenges.

On top of that, I am also affiliated to the Active Health education cluster at Howest University of Applied Sciences.

Before this, I was a cognitive neuroscientist,
using AI as tool to investigate human intelligence and learning.
I obtained my PhD at the Cognitive Computational Neuroscience Group of Tom Verguts.
During my postdoc I also joined the lab of Senne Braem.

Outside of research, I enjoy spending time with my family (my wife, two kids, and our dog). I’m also passionate about sports, playing amateur soccer and following cycling races.
