Multimodal NLP Engineer Intern @ NVIDIA / Holoscan

As part of the Surgical AI Co-Pilot initiative in collaboration with ORSI Academy, I developed an advanced real-time surgical vision and language model. This innovative system leverages highly curated data to support healthcare professionals during live procedures, enabling situational understanding and in-depth domain knowledge.

Visiting Researcher @ KU Leuven / LAGoM

During my tenure at KU Leuven, I collaborated with esteemed researchers Miryam de Lhoneux and Pieter Delobelle on trans-tokenization techniques aimed at enhancing the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) for low-resource languages. By applying insights from my previous work with Transformers, including groundbreaking papers on Tik-to-Tok and RobBERT-2023, I aimed to drive innovative model conversion and pre-training techniques that empower linguistic diversity and accessibility.

Doctoral Student @ UGent / IDLab

I successfully defended my doctoral thesis on "Deciphering the Semantics of Biomedical Texts" using state-of-the-art Transformer-based Language Models on May 30, 2024. My research provided key insights into the future of NLP in healthcare, particularly regarding the integration of LLMs and semantic models, as well as techniques for automated anonymization and annotation of electronic health records (EHRs). This work positions me at the forefront of AI advancements in the medical domain.

Technical Program Manager @ Microsoft / Windows

As a Technical Program Manager on the EdgeHTML Layout team, I focused on enhancing web usability and accessibility, ensuring developers could create richer user experiences. My role involved collaborating with cross-functional teams to define and implement features that support visually-impaired users, reinforcing my commitment to inclusive technology.

Web Software Engineer Intern @ Adobe / Web Platform Team

In my role as an intern at Adobe, I was instrumental in developing innovative web features through JavaScript and C++. I successfully created a spec-conformant CSS Regions polyfill and a CSS Shapes WYSIWYG editor for Adobe Brackets, showcasing my ability to blend technical skill with a vision for the future of web development. My work laid the foundation for more accessible and dynamic web applications.

Master Student @ Université Libre de Bruxelles

I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a master’s thesis focused on a Domain-Specific Language (DSL) for Biological System Modeling, reflecting my deep understanding of computational language applications in healthcare. This academic achievement underscores my dedication to pushing the boundaries of technology in the life sciences.
