Jesse Davis is a Professor in the CS department at KU Leuven, Belgium. His research focuses on developing novel artificial intelligence, data science, machine learning, and data mining techniques, with a particular emphasis on analyzing structured data. Jesse’s passions lie in using these techniques to make sense of lifestyle data, address problems in (elite) athlete monitoring and detecting anomalies. Prior to joining KU Leuven, he obtained his bachelor’s degree from Williams College, his PhD from the University of Wisconsin, and completed a post-doc at the University of Washington.

Jesse has co-founded and serves on the board of directors for runeasi, a recent KU Leuven spinoff. runeasi offers an app and wearable that provides real-time biomechanical feedback about running and walking, which is  particularly useful in the context of rehabilitation. Beyond this, runeasi works with several elite athletes and professional soccer clubs to support training and rehab.
