<p>
Hello and welcome to my personal website!
</p>
<p>
I am currently working as a <strong>Machine Learning Engineer</strong> at Belgian scale-up, <a href="https://www.lynx.care/">LynxCare</a>, working on models for <strong>clinical natural language processing</strong>.
Before, I was a research scientist at Nuance Automotive (now <a href="https://www.cerence.com/">Cerence</a>) and a postdoctoral researcher at <a href="https://www.ugent.be/ea/idlab/en">IDLab</a>'s <a href="https://ugentt2k.github.io">Text-to-Knowledge Group</a>.
My research focused on techniques to train and deploy <strong>neural network</strong> based natural language processing in <strong>low-resource</strong> settings.
I have worked on projects and done research involving <strong>sequence-to-sequence models</strong>, <strong>clinical natural language processing</strong>, <strong>keyphrase extraction</strong> and <strong>knowledge base population</strong>.
</p>
<!-- <p>
During my doctorate, I was advised by <a href="http://users.atlantis.ugent.be/cdvelder/">prof. Chris Develder</a> and <a href="https://tdmeeste.github.io">prof. Thomas Demeester</a>, researching <a href="https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8565903/file/8565904">methods for efficient supervision in natural language processing</a> .
In January 2016, I had the opportunity to visit the University of North Texas and work with <a href="https://www.cs.uic.edu/~cornelia/">prof. Cornelia Caragea</a> on keyphrase extraction using weak supervision. This stay was supported by a travel grant for a short stay abroad by the <a href="http://www.fwo.be/">FWO</a>.
From February to April 2017, I was a visiting researcher at the <a href="http://divf.eng.cam.ac.uk/smt/">Machine Intelligence Lab</a> at Cambridge University under the supervision of <a href="http://mi.eng.cam.ac.uk/Main/WJB31">prof. Bill Byrne</a> to work on statistical and neural machine translation for text simplification and automated annotation. This stay was supported by a travel grant for a long stay abroad by the FWO.
