I am an Associate Professor (tenured) at the Electronics and Informatics department (ETRO) at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) and Senior AI Scientist at imec, in Belgium, where I lead a research team of 12 researchers (4 postdoctoral researchers and 8 PhD students).

I am also the Programme Director of the Master in Applied Computer Science at VUB.

My research currently focuses on signal processing and machine learning theory and algorithms for explainable AI with applications in computer vision (image and video processing), data mining (air pollution data, social media data, recommender systems), and natural languange processing (fact verification).

I have authored 120+ journal and conference publications, book chapters, and two international patent applications in the areas of AI, machine learning, signal processing and information theory. My publications appear in top-tier journals (e.g., IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems, IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, and IEEE Transactions on Information Theory) and conferences (e.g., ICASSP, ICIP, NAACL and IPSN). Here are my Google Scholar and dblp profiles.

I am a member of the IEEE and EURASIP, and I serve as vice-chair of the EURASIP Technical Aread Committee on Signal and Data Analytics for Machine Learning.

I am the lead guest editor of the special issue on Understanding and Designing Deep Neural Networks at the EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing.

Since 2013, I act as Expert Consultant in Machine Learning, AI and Big Data for various companies, public organisations and governments.

I have received the Diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Patras, and the PhD in Engineering Sciences (Highest Honors) from the VUB, Belgium, in 2012. From 2013 to 2015, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at University College London, UK.
