Assistant professor - Business Data Analytics

I hold a Master of Engineering, a Master of Management and a PhD in Applied Mathematics from UCLouvain. After a career at a Y-Combinator backed fintech company, Delphia Inc. (Toronto), I am now working as an Assistant professor in the field of Business Data Analytics at UCLouvain.

My research interests lie at the intersection of opinion dynamics and data-driven decision making, aiming at leveraging the value of data to improve organizational effectiveness and reducing unconscious bias. In particular, I tend to have an affinity in the field of data mining on social media data, exploring innovative network analysis methods and natural language processing models.

I am currently supervising two PhD students:

- Colin Timmers, who is exploring the detection of bubble filters and how we can prevent them
- Camille Charles, who is studying multi-stackholder recommender systems

Besides my research, I also like to perform as a mentalist (see https://mind-doctors.com/) as a member of the Royal CĂ©nacle Magique de Bruxelles
