Biography
Since 2023, I've been a tenure-track assistant professor of computer science at the
University of Washington,
where I'm affiliated with the
UWDB Group, the
TCSS Program, and the
eScience Institute.
Previously, I completed my postdoctoral fellowship at the
School of Computer Science & Engineering and had the privilege of working under the guidance of
Prof. Magdalena Balazinska.
Prior to relocating to the United States, I earned my diploma in mathematical statistics from the
Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium.
