Overview
My teaching started through guest lectures in courses by Ruben Verborgh and Sofie Van Hoecke at Ghent University, Joep Crompvoets at KU Leuven, and Pierre Deville at Solvay Brussels School. Those lectures focused on Web APIs, Open Data, and Linked Data, and grew into recurring courses and life-long learning formats.
Since my appointment as professor at Ghent University in 2021, teaching has become a structural part of my work at IDLab. The courses below are listed automatically from the course pages on this website, with the courses I still teach at the top.
