Thomas Vandamme is a postdoctoral researcher at JurisLAB (Faculty of Law, Université libre de Bruxelles). A trained engineer, he completed his doctoral thesis in Engineering and Technology at ULB in 2025, titled "Algorithmic Confusion: A Transversal Study of Computational Trade Mark Similarity". His work investigates how AI systems assess legally relevant similarities between trademarks, and the impacts these tools have in practice. Throughout his doctoral and postdoctoral research, large-scale scraping of public legal databases has been central to his methodology.
