I am an FWO funded postdoctoral researcher at the KERMIT (knowledge-based systems) group at Ghent University.
Machine intelligence and living systems fascinate me. In my research, I develop intelligent techniques to understand, predict and control biological networks. My main toolbox involves a mix of machine learning, optimization, bioinformatics and graph theory. I use these methods to predict how plants, animals, microorganisms and molecules interact with each other.
Much of my work involves working together with others, translating biological problems as mathematical or computational ones. Every year, I try to engage students students in projects and theses, doing cool things such ...
