Visiting Professor and FWO Postdoctoral Researcher
The Centre for IT & IP Law, KU Leuven (Belgium)
I study how artificial intelligence can improve access to legal information while ensuring that AI systems remain transparent, reliable and accountable. My work brings together computational legal research, legal information retrieval and the evaluation of AI systems in a legal setting.
I am always keen to collaborate with researchers from law, computer science and social sciences. If you think our interests overlap, feel free to get in touch!
