I am a PhD researcher at the Univeristy of Antwerp (CLiPS Research Center) under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Walter Daelemans.
My research interest lies in automatic answering of Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) in multiple languages.
Prior to starting my PhD, I was a Fund Manager at DPAM, the 2nd largest asset manager in Belgium. I also hold a Master of Business Engineering with a focus on financial markets from Université Catholique de Louvain, Belgium.
