About

I am Associate Research Professor at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, with affiliations in Electronics and Informatics (ETRO), Artificial Intelligence supported Modelling in clinical Sciences (AIMS), and neurology-linked clinical research at UZ Brussel.

My research focuses on cognitive impairment in neurological disease, especially multiple sclerosis, using neurophysiology, neuroimaging, computational modelling, and neuromodulation to develop better biomarkers and treatment strategies.

I also serve as an elected member of the Jonge Academie.
