Leeftijd: 32 jaar.

Beroep: Burgerlijk Ingenieur. Doctoraatsstudent aan de KU Leuven en aan het Belgisch nucleair onderzoekscentrum SCK CEN.

Strijdpunten: Naast het ijveren voor een evenwichtige en duurzame energiemix wil Christophe blijven investeren in onderzoek en ontwikkeling om de energieproblematiek aan te pakken. Vanuit zijn huidige functie vindt hij een focus op het lerarentekort, de onderwijskwaliteit en de digitalisering in het onderwijs ook belangrijke aandachtspunten die de Belgische economie ten goede komen.
