Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichiel Stock is an applied dynamical systems researcher and assistant professor at Ghent University with 11 years of experience combining machine learning, optimization, bioinformatics and graph theory to model and design biological networks. Funded by FWO, he develops computational tools to predict interactions across scales—from molecules and microbes to plants and animals—and frequently translates wet-lab questions into mathematical problems. He supervises and teaches masters students (responsible for a course in mathematical optimization) and routinely involves students in hands-on projects like protein design and quirky classifiers, demonstrating a strong commitment to applied teaching. A pragmatic collaborator, he has international experience including a visiting postdoc in Montréal and consulting work in industry, and he brings an uncommon blend of theoretical method-building and practical biological intuition.
