Hi, I am Manon Reusens, a PhD student at the KU Leuven supervised by Professor Bart Baesens and co-supervised by Professor Seppe vanden Broucke and Professor Wouter Verbeke.

I am part of the Research Centre for Information Systems Engineering (LIRIS) at the Faculty of Business and Economics at KU Leuven. Throughout my PhD, I have focused on many different applications of Natural Language Processing. Currently, I am mostly focused on Bias and Fairness in NLP and Computational Social Science.

🎵 I am also very passionate about music. I have been playing the cello for 20 years, love to sing in different bands, and also play the piano .
