Peter Claes

Hello, I am Peter Claes, a research professor at KU Leuven. My background is in engineering, specializing in image processing and analysis, as well as human genetics. I have a passion for engineering solutions to complex problems, with a particular interest in their applications in the field of biomedicine. My journey into this field began during my PhD, where I developed a computer-based system for craniofacial reconstruction used in victim identification. Eager to bridge the gap between technology and biology in clinical settings, I embarked on a postdoctoral position at the Melbourne Dental School, University of Melbourne, Australia. This experience, and the ones after that allowed me to collaborate closely with healthcare professionals. Artificial Intelligence (AI) serves as an omnipresent tool in my work, proving indispensable in deciphering the intricacies of the data I engage with on a daily basis.
