Welcome to my personal website.
I am scientist working on information systems.
I have academic degrees in experimental psychology (B.A., 1996, M.A., 1999, UCLouvain), statistics (M.S., 2000, UCLouvain), artificial intelligence (M.S., 2004, KU Leuven) and cognitive science (Ph.D., 2009, University of Memphis).
I have been a researcher at UCLouvain, KU Leuven, University of Memphis, Laval University, and University of Pisa. At the moment I am a researcher at the National Institute for Criminalistics and Criminology (NICC), and a teaching assistant at UCLouvain.
I am the designer and developer of the Integrated Historical Database (IHD), a computer system created to facilitate the preservation and exploitation of datasets extracted from different sources.
Research projects I am working on are FAR, IIHA, REGUIDE, DOT, and MJ-RED.
In general, I am interested by science and humanities, and in doing so I rely a lot on computers. Topics of particular interests to me are Python programming and graphs. I love reflecting on ideas and reading books, and I developed a passion for the work of several authors (e.g., Erasmus, Bertrand Russell).
This website is updated regularly. I use it to organize my ideas and resources in a transparent and easily accessible way. On it, you'll find the projects and publications I took part in, the events in which I may have been involved, and the institutions that supported me in these endeavours. The miscellaneous section contains an array of subjects that interest me or that pertain to me, and that I could not place in the other sections.
Please feel free to contact me.
