About Me
Having studied and enjoyed many different forms of mathematics, from statistics and analysis to formal logic and abstract algebra, my lifelong interest in modelling intelligence naturally pulled me to the field of AI. In pursuit of this passion, I obtained my PhD in 2025 at the DTAI research group of the KU Leuven under the supervision of professor Luc De Raedt. Right now, I am a postdoc at the same research group. My research focuses on anything probabilistic and neurosymbolic (NeSy). More specifically, it is located at the intersection of statistics, logic and optimisation. My research is focused on improving the scalability of probabilistic NeSy methods, both for exact and approximate inference and learning.
