PROF. PETER KARSMAKERS received his Ph.D. at KU Leuven, Department of Electrical Engineering, in 2010. In 2013 as a post-doc, he co-founded the ADVISE research group at Geel campus together with a few other colleagues. From 2018, he was an Assistant Professor at KU Leuven in the Computer Science Department, and since 2022, he has been a principal investigator at Flanders Make. His research focuses on designing machine learning algorithms that consider application-specific constraints. These can, for example, relate to the computing platform on which the algorithm will be deployed or background knowledge about the machine learning task.
