Defence time for Jeroen

less than 1 minute read

I am very proud of my student Jeroen Rook, who defended his Master thesis today! The title of his presentation was: Caching in Model Counters: A Journey through Space and Time. With a very general audience, Jeroen had his work cut out for him to explain not only his work, but also the basics of propositional model counting.

After his presentation, Jeroen defended his work to me and his other advisers, Prof. Dr. Holger Hoos and Prof. Dr. Siegfried Nijssen. He handled our questions as well as those from the audience quite well, impressing us with his knowledge of the #P complexity class.

A preliminary version of this work was accepted at the Workshop on Counting and Sampling 2021.

The first conferences I ever attended as a doctorate student were IJCAI 2017 and CP 2017, which both took place in Melbourne. At the time, I had a position as a visiting researcher at ICTEAM at Université catholique de Louvain. After the conference, three fellow doctorate students from UC Louvain and I travelled to Tasmania, for a two-and-a-half-day trip. It resulted in one of my favourite travel stories of all time.
