Hi!

I’m Maaike, a PhD researcher in the DTAI research group at KU Leuven, under the supervision of Professor Jesse Davis.

My research interests include artificial intelligence, data mining and machine learning, especially when applied to sports. My current research focuses on extracting tactical insights from soccer (event / positional) data using a combination of learning and reasoning techniques.

Prior to starting my PhD, I obtained a Master’s degree in Computer Science with a major in Artificial Intelligence at KU Leuven in 2019.

Besides computer science, my interests include playing soccer , traveling , and all things space-related .
