New Position!
I recently obtained a new exciting position as an AI researcher at the Howest University of Applied Sciences.
I am affiliated to the Cyber3Lab and the AI 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 into your problem.

New preprint on human generalization!
https://doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/hgfsq
In our paper, entitled: "Beyond independent latent classes: Testing the limits of human flexibility", we test how efficient humans are in learning about relationships between tasks and using this for generalization.
We test the limits of human flexibility and find that these go well beyond what can be explained by current theoretical frameworks.

About me

I am an AI researcher at Howest University of applied sciences.
I am affiliated to the Cyber3Lab and the AI 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 into your problem.

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.

When I'm not busy doing research, I try to spend most of my time with my family (2 kids, my wife and a dog).
If there is still some time left, I try to keep up to date with the latest news on sports (mainly cycling) and belgian politics.
