Ken Hasselmann is currently a senior researcher in the Robotics & Autonomous Systems unit of the Department of Mechanics at the Belgian Royal Military Academy, working on the European Defence Fund's AIDEDex project.
He obtained his Master's degree in engineering in electronics and embedded systems from the National Polytechnic Institute of Toulouse (INP-ENSEEIHT) and a Master's in strategic management and innovation from Toulouse School of Management (TSM) in 2014.
He obtained his PhD in swarm robotics from IRIDIA, the artificial intelligence lab of the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB), in 2023, while working on the ERC DEMIURGE project, aiming to advance the state-of-the-art in automatic design methods for robot swarms. His research focuses on swarm robotics, machine learning, automatic design, optimization algorithms, and the application and design of such systems for real-world scenarios.
In addition to his research, Ken has significant teaching experience. Before joining the RMA, he was a teacher-researcher at ECAM Brussels Engineering School, responsible for courses in algorithms, machine learning, and deep learning in the Department of Computer Science and Electronics. During his PhD, he served as a teaching assistant at ULB, covering a wide range of subjects from digital and analog electronics to microprocessor architecture and artificial intelligence.
He is passionate about computer science, embedded systems, and artificial intelligence, strongly believes in Free, Libre, and Open-Source Software, and is dedicated to developing new projects with this philosophy.
