I completed my undergrad in mathematics at UHasselt, where I developed a love for numerical methods. Afterwards, I joined the Applied Mathematics Masters' program and subsequently, their PhD program.

My work sits at the intersection of numerical analysis, spectral methods, and PDE theory. I am particularly interested by problems where classical analysis and modern computation meet, building algorithms that are both mathematically rigorous, highly accurate and practically fast.

Outside of research I enjoy hiking, gaming and spending time with my partner and cats, Chicken and Cheese. Don't forget to pet them before you leave this page!
