Having completed both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Engineering at KU Leuven, she now focuses her research on bridging the gap between fundamental science and real-world energy solutions.

 Previously, Hélène was the People Lead at Ghent Slush'D, where she helped build a vibrant startup event that connected founders and investors. She also took part in the Belgian Leadership Project (BLP), engaging in deep conversations with professionals and change-makers across sectors.

Hélène loves meeting like-minded professionals and discussing how we can make a positive impact together. She’s deeply committed to promoting gender equality in tech and is fascinated by the intersection of science and entrepreneurship. Outside of her academic pursuits, you’ll find her outdoors pursuing sports and adventure with the same energy she brings to everything else.
