I graduated in 2003 from the Transnational University Limburg (a cooperation between Hasselt University and Maastricht University) as a master in computer science with specialization in operation research. In October 2003 I started working at Hasselt University. From October 2003 till September 2004 I joined the Database and theoretical computer sciences research group and contributed in arranging the new master databases in computer science. Then till September 2005 I joined the Expertise centre for Digital Media and contributed in arranging the new master HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) in computer science. In September 2005 I joined the Database and theoretical computer sciences research group of Hasselt University as assistant and worked on a PhD under super vision of prof. dr. Bart Kuijpers that I finished November 13th 2015. I left the University Hasselt in September 2011 as staff member but stayed active as voluntary researcher. In September 2019 I returned as guest professor.
