Johannes Weytjens

I'm the Head of Operations at Prometis Lab. At Prometis Lab, we leverage high-frequency financial data to tackle economic and societal questions. Our work helps individuals, companies, and policymakers better understand the economy and make more informed decisions.

I bring a unique interdisciplinary perspective, combining a physics background with a PhD in economics from Ghent University. During my doctoral research, I explored how to use transaction data to study household finance, specifically focusing on the marginal propensity to consume (MPC). This academic foundation now informs my role as Economist in Residence at BNP Paribas Fortis, where I'm embedded within the AI Tribe through a pioneering university-banking collaboration.
