Pieter Wolfert is a PhD student at Ghent University supervised by Prof. Tony Belpaeme, where his focus is on generating and evaluating co-speech gestures in embodied conversational agents. As a PhD student he is a member of IDLab, a research group embedded in Ghent University and imec. He is funded by FWO. He is a co-organizer of the GENEA Workshop series, which had its third edition at ICMI 2022. He obtained his Master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence in 2018 at Radboud University, Nijmegen - The Netherlands.
