Guy De Pauw
CEO at Textgain
I had the pleasure of working with Sherry during her PhD research in UX and communication science. Her work on improving reporting systems for online harassment showed both her analytical mind and creative approach to complex problems. Working with Sherry, I came away impressed at her diligence and her ability to tackle sensitive issues with care and determination.

Heidi Vandebosch
Full professor at University of Antwerp
I had the pleasure of being the co-supervisor of Sherry's PhD. Sherry's academic work focused on improving online reporting systems on social media platforms, especially for victims of online sexual harassment. I have never had a PhD student who is so eager to learn and who shows such adaptability and creativity. Sherry dived into the academic literature in different fields (communication science, psychology, design thinking, human-computer interaction,....) and acquired both quantitative and qualitative methodological skills. Her engineering background made it possible for her to explore and apply computational methods for the automatic detection and analysis of trends in online textual data, and to create prototypes of chatbots that could be tested amongst users. Sherry is also an excellent colleague: a person whom you can rely on and who is always willing to help others - a real team player!

Sophie Litvak
PhD Candidate at the University of Helsinki
I had the pleasure of working with Sherry in the NETHATE consortium, where she stood out for her curiosity, dedication, and collaborative spirit. She was deeply committed to both her own research and to supporting those around her. In NETHATE, she used ICT technologies with the inspiring goal of making the world a safer and better place. Sherry is also passionate about sharing science and knowledge with the broader public—engaging everyone from young children to older adults. She's a thoughtful, driven, and inspiring colleague.

Sandra Sanmartín Feijóo
Lecturer and researcher at Universidad de Burgos
I had the pleasure of working alongside Sherry and exchanging ideas with her during my research stay at the University of Antwerp. I was particularly grateful for her help and support settling in and navigating a new environment. It also stood out to me how much of a team player she is and her skill in co-managing the team's social media presence, balancing this responsibility effortlessly alongside her other tasks. Sherry brings a positive and adaptable attitude to everything she does, and I’m confident these qualities will make her shine in any professional environment.
