I hold a Master’s degree in Physics, a Master’s degree in Actuarial Science, and a PhD in Actuarial Science, all awarded by UCLouvain (Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium).
I am currently Professor of Actuarial Science in the Department of Mathematics at ULB (Brussels, Belgium).
My teaching covers both life and non-life insurance mathematics, and my research primarily focuses on the application of machine learning techniques to actuarial problems.
I am the co-author of 3 books published in the Springer Actuarial Series, focused on statistical learning methods for actuaries. I have also authored around 50 peer-reviewed journal articles in leading actuarial and statistical journals.
I serve as a Referee for several actuarial and insurance journals and am an Associate Editor for the Astin Bulletin and the European Actuarial Journal.
I previously held the same editorial role for Methodology and Computing in Applied Probability.
I am a fully Qualified Actuary with the Institute of Actuaries in Belgium (IA|BE), Chairman of the Board of the Association des Actuaires issus de l’ULB (AABr), and Scientific Advisor at Detralytics.
Before joining ULB, I was Assistant Professor of Actuarial Science at Laval University (Quebec City, Canada) for two years.
Prior to that, I spent three years as a Senior Consultant at Risk Dynamics (Brussels), where I validated a wide range of insurance models under the Solvency II framework.
