I am Jessa Bekker, research manager in the DTAI research group at KU Leuven, where I work work with Luc De Raedt, Hendrik Blockeel, Jesse Davis, Tias Guns, Angelika Kimmig, Peter Karsmakers, and Mathias Verbeke.

My main research interests include integrating learning and reasoning, learning from positive and unlabeled data, probabilistic graphical models, tractable learning, structure learning, and knowledge compilation. I enjoy industry collaborations because they inspire and motivate interesting research and allow for early validation of theoretical findings.
