| Resume | I am Professor at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) where I head together with my colleague Gianluca Bontempi the Machine Learning group in the Department of Computer Science. I’m also a founding member of the Interuniversity Institute of Bioinformatics in Brussels (IB2), for which I was the director from 2017-2021. I hold also research affiliations with the Center for Human-Compatible AI at the BAIR lab of UC Berkeley, the Artificial intelligence lab of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, and FARI, the AI for Common Good institute in Brussels.
I’m currently Chair/President of the Benelux Association for Artificial Intelligence (bnvki) and I’m currently acting as expert (observer) in the Global Partnership for AI (GPAI).
My research encompasses interdisciplinary topics ranging from AI, machine learning and behavioural informatics (evolution, network and group formation, emotions, anticipation, …) to computational biology and medicine (metastasis dynamics, protein bioinformatics, molecular communication, oligogenic diseases, medical text mining, …).
