I am a scientist with a PhD in Astronomy and Astrophysics (KU Leuven), building on a decade of experience in academic research, and a growing number of years in projects revolving around transport and mobility. Currently I am the CTO of Telraam, a spin-off born from a project that I was involved in at Transport & Mobility Leuven. I could best describe my responsibilities as a mix of a data scientist, project manager, a backend developer, an occasional hardware tester, and a pinch of design and marketing consultant.

I am a night rated private pilot – PPL(A) – since August 2022, I enjoy road cycling, fly fishing, playing the bass guitar, and I enjoy photography when I still have some energy left after all my other hobbies.

I am proud of my research experience which comes from the field of asteroseismology. During my doctoral training and postdoctoral career at the KU Leuven I studied massive stars using data from the CoRoT and Kepler satellites and several ground-based observatories. I took active part also in the data-acquisition process by writing competitive grant applications and spending more than 200 nights at various telescopes. My work has contributed to a better understanding of the internal structure and the physical processes that govern the life of massive stars.
