Biography
I am an actuarial researcher with broad interests in statistical modelling for general insurance, with a particular focus on climate risks and the modelling of complex dependence structures.
I hold a Master’s degree in Business Engineering and a Master’s in Actuarial and Financial Engineering from KU Leuven. I started my career as an actuarial consultant for a major financial services firm in Belgium before pursuing a PhD in Mathematics (Actuarial Science) at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM), which I completed in 2024. I then worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Concordia University in Montréal before joining the Department of Actuarial Mathematics and Statistics at Heriot-Watt University in 2025.
I am a qualified actuary with the Institute of Actuaries in Belgium and I am committed to contributing to both the academic and professional actuarial communities.
