About me

Welcome, Bienvenue, Welkom, Willkomen!

I am a 2nd year ELLIS PhD student supervised by Prof. Iryna Gurevych at the UKP Lab, TU Darmstadt and co-supervised by Prof. Marie-Francine Moens and Prof. Tinne Tuytelaars at KU Leuven.

I am interested in applications of natural language processing for computational social science and misinformation detection.

Miscellaneous

I come from Waterloo, in the periphery of Brussels. Yes, the one where the famous French emperor was defeated. Come and see one of the yearly reenactements of the battle and discover the beautiful nature of my home region Wallonia and the vibrant culture of Belgium’s capital: Brussels.

I keep a reading list here.

In my free time, I enjoy cycling, hiking, and playing board games.
