Hi there! I am a PhD candidate in the Data Mining group of Eindhoven University of Technology. I am broadly interested, and I like to work on a diverse range of topics and with people from all kinds of backgrounds. My recent work focuses primarily on developing generative machine learning models for time-evolving data, and applying these models to various scientific and engineering problems.

Some recent projects that I have been working on include:

• Embedding domain knowledge in generative models for stochastic simulation [1], while also leveraging these models to extract new insights [2];
• Developing generative models for simulation applications in varying domains, for example nuclear fusion [3], cell migration [4] and crowd dynamics [2];
• Correlation Detective, a library for scalable multivariate correlations discovery in large time series datasets [5], [6], [7].

Feel free to reach out if you want to have a chat! My email address can be found on my university homepage.
