Our late-breaking report "RaDIA: Visual Analytics for Systematic Sample Association in Nuclear Weapon Test Verification Workflows" (PDF) has been accepted at EICS 2026 in Patras, Greece. This is work by Stian Verherstraeten together with Christophe Gueibe (SCK CEN), Gustavo Rovelo Ruiz, and myself.
The call for papers is open for EISEAIT 2026, the 4th Workshop on Engineering Interactive Systems Embedding AI Technologies. The workshop takes place on June 30, 2026 at EICS 2026, with hybrid participation planned. I am co-organizing this edition together with colleagues from across Europe. Submit via EasyChair — deadline is May 8, 2026.
We contribute some reflections on our attempts to progress HCIxFabrication research from the lab to the market in a short paper "Making It Work Is the Work" (to be discussed at the RealFab'26 workshop at CHI 2026 in Barcelona). This is work with my colleagues Danny Leen, Stig Konings, and Raf Ramakers at the Digital Future Lab (UHasselt – Flanders Make).
Our extended abstract "Learning to Delegate and Act with DELEGACT: Multimodal Language Models for Task-Level Human–Cobot Planning in Industrial Assembly" has been accepted at CHI 2026 in Barcelona. This is work by Bram Verstappen together with Dries Cardinaels, Danny Leen, and Raf Ramakers at the Digital Future Lab (UHasselt - Flanders Make).
We presented our contribution “Teaching as Training: Iterative and Incremental AI Skill Development” () at the EURECA-PRO Education & Research Days in Hasselt, held under the theme Glocalising Universities: A Shifting Horizon. This is joint work with Jolien Notermans (Department of Educational Development, Policy and Quality Assurance) and Sarah Doumen (Faculty of Sciences) at Hasselt University. More details on the publication page. The visual story is generated using StoryBookly.
Our paper “DIVERSE: Disagreement-Inducing Vector Evolution for Rashomon Set Exploration” () has been accepted at ICLR 2026, one of the top venues for machine learning research. This is joint work with my PhD student Gilles Eerlings, Brent Zoomers, Jori Liesenborgs, and Gustavo Rovelo Ruiz at the Digital Future Lab. More details on the publication page.
Our paper "Every Move You Make: Visualizing Near-Future Motion Under Delay for Telerobotics" () has been accepted at CHI 2026 in Barcelona — the premier conference for human-computer interaction research. This is joint work with my PhD student Dries Cardinaels, Raf Ramakers, Tom Veuskens, Thomas Pietrzak (Univ. Lille, Inria), and Gustavo Rovelo Ruiz at the Digital Future Lab (UHasselt - Flanders Make). More details on the publication page.
The SAI Update magazine (Nov 2025 , sia.be) selected two projects from our Human–AI Interaction (HAII) course for its Next Technology Generation special. Proud of our students Linsey Helsen and Xander Vervaecke who turned their Human-AI Interaction project ideas into concrete, useful systems.
1) A Multi-Agent Approach to Fact-Checking (, ) — Xander Vervaecke (UHasselt) Xander’s LieSpy.ai coordinates multiple LLMs (e.g., GPT, Gemini, Mistral) to verify claims, compare reasoning, and aggregate evidence into a transparent verdict. The interface exposes sources, trust scores, and model rationales, moving fact-checking beyond a single-model answer. Key ideas: multi-agent collaboration, cross-validation, explainability.
I’m excited to announce my involvement in two upcoming EICS conferences: I’m co-chairing the EICS 2026 Doctoral Consortium together with Fabio Paternò from CNR-ISTI, Italy, and Nikos Avouris, and I will be a general co-chair together with Célia Martinie for EICS 2027.
