Hello, my name is Robrecht Cannoodt. I just obtained by PhD as a computer scientist specialising in data science (dissertation). I work as a data science engineer at Data Intuitive and as a postdoctoral researcher at VIB - Ghent University.

I enjoy developing and contributing to data science software projects (See Software). In particular: developing or speeding up algorithms; adding functionality to existing software; and contributing to open-source projects. During my PhD, I developed tools for analysing single-cell omics data, and tools for benchmarking single-cell omics tools. However, many of the software packages I (co-)developed can be used for general-purpose data mining applications.
