About me (briefly):

I am a former research associate of the Belgian National Fund for Scientific Research (F.N.R.S.) and, since 1998, professor of stochastic methods in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, at the University of Liège.

I do research in machine learning, stochastic simulation, and optimization, with applications in electric power systems, industrial process control, bioinformatics and computational systems biology. I am currently teaching courses on information theory and coding, machine learning, and electric power systems planning and operation.

My research interests :

Back to top of this page Machine learning, in particular tree based models, graphical models, and reinforcement learning, with a focus on complex and large scale systems analysis, optimization and control.

Electric power systems reliability management and optimal decision making under uncertainties (system operation, asset management, grid development).

Bioinformatics and computational systems biology, in particular biological systems and structures modeling, exploitation of proteomics, genomics, clinical and biomedical imaging data.
