Curriculum Vitae
Koen Roelandt (°1979) studied Germanic languages at the Catholic University of Brussels (now HUB) and the Catholic University of Leuven (KULeuven). He also took a postgraduate degree in Medieval Studies at the University of Glasgow. After his studies, he worked as a web developer and web editor in the private and the public sector. Through the functional programming language Haskell he found his way back to (computational) linguistics and semantics. He is currently working as a PhD student on the project “The formal semantics of proportional quantification in Dutch and English.”
