Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKen Hasselmann is an external lecturer and researcher with 14 years of experience at the intersection of swarm robotics, automatic design, optimization and machine learning. He holds a PhD from IRIDIA (ULB) where he contributed to the ERC DEMIURGE project and has since led multirobot research programs for demining at the Royal Military Academy while coordinating introductory CS for engineering students at ULB. Ken blends deep academic rigor with hands-on engineering—from transforming pianos into wheeled robots to managing defense-funded robotics projects—and has a strong teaching record including a pedagogy award-winning team. Comfortable in both research and applied settings, he combines algorithmic expertise with practical systems development and project leadership across academia, defense and industry. An uncommon strength is his ability to move between low-level electronics and high-level swarm algorithm design, informed by complementary studies in strategic management and innovation.
