Since 2026

Chatbot implementation for client-tuned sustainability advice

• Implemented a chatbot for an ESG advice company which united intelligent web search with their internal database to provide users with a personalised and relevant solution for their ESG problems.

Cleaning and optimisation of a knowledge database

• Updating, improving, and cleaning a project knowledge database.
• Set up interviews with stakeholders
• Understood their needs
• Implemented tailored-made solutions
• Built views of the database
• Added or removed certain properties of the database when required
• Implemented agents to help clean and maintain the quality of that database.
• Automatically scan the database for certain invalid or empty knowledge field properties
• Provide notifications to the relevant people to improve and fill in the database

Scientific Researcher (University of Antwerp)

Doctorate in Physics: data analysis of gravitational waves 2021-2025

• Development of a Python-based data analysis framework exploiting cross-correlation which utilised advanced statistical methods for parameter estimation
• Python (scipy, numpy, pandas, matplotlib)
• The parallelization of this analysis framework on a high-throughput computing cluster
• HTCondor (DAG files, somewhat similar to Apache Spark) via Python
• Inventing and development of new Bayesian statistical data analysis method combining multiple different gravitational-wave data sources to infer whether the mass distribution of these sources is constant or not. This process was optimized using GPU’s on a computing cluster.
• Python (numpy, scipy, jax, pandas, numpyro, matplotlib)
• Monitoring and mitigating noise features in a gravitational-wave detector via a database of such features. The unknown noise features were searched for using a coherence method in the surrounding environmental channels.
• Python (scipy, numpy)
• Participated in multiple science-communication events to explain my research to people who have little to no understanding of it.
