Hi, I am Manon Reusens, I am the research manager of the Antwerp Center on Responsible AI (ACRAI) under the guidance of Professor David Martens and Professor Toon Calders. Moreover, I am Guest Lecturer at the KU Leuven teaching Principles of Database Management, a 6 ECTS course both for bachelor and master students.

I am an interdisciplinary researcher specializing in Responsible AI, with a particular focus on bias and fairness in Natural Language Processing. My work bridges three perspectives: (1) technical, through deep expertise in NLP; (2) societal, by examining the human impact of AI systems; and (3) applied, drawing on my background in business engineering to translate insights into actionable guidelines for organizations.

🎵 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.
