News
See the group website for latest news. On October 9,
2009, I held my inaugural
speech. |

Research
My research is on artificial
intelligence, in particular (Bayesian) machine learning. In a nutshell, we
use probability calculus and statistics to design and understand
"intelligent" systems that can learn from data. See my publications for
recent and older results. I am involved in several projects that concern applications in, among others, brain-computer
interfaces, adaptive personalization of hearing aids, and bioinformatics. My research
group is part of the
section Intelligent Systems of iCIS. Currently we have no vacancies. In
general, feel free to drop me an email if you're an excellent student and are
looking for a PhD or postdoc position. |

Teaching
I teach several courses in computer science, information
science, and artificial intelligence. People from our group put together
several suggestions for Master and Bachelor thesis projects that students can do under our
guidance. |

Other
Besides being on the program committee
of (read: reviewing for) too many conferences to list, I am Editor-in-Chief
of the scientific journal Neurocomputing. We publish papers on topics ranging
from computational neuroscience to machine learning. I am a principal investigator (PI) at
and research director of iCIS and an affiliated PI at the Donders Centre for Neuroscience. If you really have to, you can check
out my (short, not really up-to-date) cv. On the personal side, I am the proud
father of two kids. |
