I’m a postdoctoral research fellow at Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Australia. I’m interested in discovering knowledge from process execution data to support improved decision-making, especially knowledge about (human) resources.

My current research focuses on mining organizational models from process execution data and applying them to workforce analytics [read more].

I’m also involved in Foragecaster, a project that aims at delivering a planner system, powered by accurate and reliable machine learning models, to support farmers in decisions on forage, grazing livestock, and farm sustainability.

I’m a member of the Explainable Analytics for Machine Intelligence (XAMI) Lab at QUT.
