Teaching

Teaching is the art of inspiring others to ask the right questions. I believe we only truly understand complex subjects when we are able to identify those questions and assess the validity of their answers.

Knowledge Graphs (2024–now)

I‘m a co-lecturer of the Knowledge Graphs class for graduate students at Ghent University. In this course, we deep-dive in the current state of the art in creating knowledge on Web-scale. Your personal data, data published publicly on the Web, and data explicitly shared with you, becomes your knowledge graph that applications and services can use to assist you in your day to day activities.

Web Development (20162026)

I was the lecturer-in-charge of the Web Development class for undergraduate students of the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at Ghent University. This class discusses the architecture and technologies of the World Wide Web, and introduces Linked Data and the Semantic Web. For this class, I maintained a series of open-source webslides.
