Expertise
My research expertise lies in statistics and computational data analysis, with a particular focus on applications in the biomedical sciences. My research focuses on the development and application of statistical and computational methods for analysing complex, high-dimensional datasets, including data derived from mass spectrometry and digital pathology. A key area of my research is the analysis of spatial heterogeneity in biological tissue and its potential for biomarker identification and disease classification, for example in liver fibrosis. I also work on data analysis methods for mass spectrometry and proteomics, with an emphasis on pattern recognition, predictive modelling, and the interpretation of complex biological data. My expertise includes statistical modelling, computational statistics, high-dimensional data analysis, and the application of statistical methods in biomedical research. My aim is to develop methodologically sound and practically relevant approaches to research questions across different scientific disciplines. In addition to my research activities, I teach statistics courses through StatUa at the University of Antwerp. These courses are aimed at researchers and doctoral students and cover topics such as basic statistical principles, data analysis using R, and categorical data analysis using logistic regression. My teaching emphasises the practical application of statistical methods and the sound interpretation of research results.
