Dr. Peter Karsmakers received the M.Sc. degree in artificial intelligence in 2004 and the PhD degree from the Department of Electrical Engineering, KU Leuven, in 2010. From 2010 to 2013, he was a post-doctoral researcher in the MOBILAB research team from Thomas More. From 2013 to 2018, he worked as a post-doctoral researcher at KU Leuven where he co-founded the ADVISE research team. Currently, he is an Associate Professor within the Computer Science Department in the DTAI section at KU Leuven and is a member of the Leuven.AI institute. Since 2022, he is a PI of Flanders Make@KU Leuven. His research interests include designing machine learning algorithms that consider application-specific constraints. These can, for example, relate to the computing platform on which the machine learning algorithm will be deployed on, to the need of physical consistency between model variables, to the lack of data annotation or to other application related specifications. He worked on diverse projects, mostly in collaboration with industrial partners, that involve monitoring of both humans as machines using sensors such as microphones, accelerometers and radars.
