About me
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the DistriNet research group at KU Leuven. I obtained my MSc Engineering in Computer Science at KU Leuven in 2018 and finished my PhD in 2023. My research focuses on data synchronization, consistency, fault-tolerance and decentralization for the web using CRDTs and consensus protocols.
