Elias Vansteenkiste

He obtained his Ph.D. in Electronics at the Ghent University, where he worked on heuristics for NP-complete problems in Electronic Design Automation.

During his postdoc, Elias pivoted into the deep learning hype via a Kaggle competition to improve lung cancer prediction. He left the academic world to work as a research scientist on generative models for video reconstruction and real-time video anonymisation. His favourite programming language is Python, because of its clean design.
