Complex networks | Machine learning | Innovation policy | Geography of Innovation | Geography of Sustainability Transitions 

I have been conducting research on combining the notions of technological change, the evolution of knowledge networks and geography. I have been engaged in developing machine learning techniques to give a better understanding of the interplay of industrial dynamics and micro-forces of knowledge networks (e.g., R&D networks), which brings about innovation and technological change.I am passionate about conducting research on the nexus between ‘geography of innovation’ and ‘data science’. I use newly developed machine learning techniques and alternative data to map and investigate the geography of economic activities, knowledge production, and knowledge relations.

I am pulmonologist at the University Medical Center Groningen, The Netherlands. I am one of the medical doctors of the Home Mechanical Ventilation Center Groningen, part of the department of pulmonary diseases of this hospital. Next to clinical work, I educate medical students from the University Groningen and have a strong connection with the University Twente, one of the main technical universities, both for educational activities and research. My main research interests involves severe COPD, respiratory failure, and (home) mechanical ventilation. I have special interest in remote monitoring and care to facilitate complex care at home. A second field of interest concerns nasal high flow therapy, in current COVID-19 times but also in the treatment of stable and post-exacerbation COPD. Furthermore, I have special interest in optimal but non-invasive and robust monitoring during long-term non-invasive ventilation and the application of more detailed monitoring facilities such as respiratory EMG, patient-ventilator asynchrony and lung mechanics during long-term non-invasive ventilation. My final goal is to achieve a better quality of life for patients with respiratory failure. To this end, we will need further studies on more and better treatment options investigating underlying mechanisms on severe COPD and how treatment affects these.

I am scientific coordinator at the Energy and Sustainability Research Institute Groningen (ESRIG) at the Faculty of Science & Engineering. With ESRIG we perform outstanding research that contributes to sustainable energy transition, and resource exploitation and utilization in the coming decades for more people in farer and cleaner way. Besides, within the University of Groningen I am responsible for the development of a community of researchers working in the field of Energy & Climate Research within the Wubbo Ockels School for Energy and Climate. My aim is to connect scientists with different academic backgrounds with the goal to initiate novel interdisciplinary research projects aiming for innovative breakthroughs in the global energy and climate challenges.

My academic work and passion are dedicated to the overarching theme ‘Human Dignity in the Digital Age’.

I am interested in the transition from abstract principles (e.g. human rights, ethical principles) into more detailed and specific governance frameworks (e.g. human right to privacy into GDPR). With my background in law and philosophy I work in the department of Governance and Innovation at Campus Fryslân.

Current fields of research:

- Human Rights in the Digital Age.
- Emerging Technologies and Governance (incl. ‘AI’, ‘Blockchain’).
- Internet Governance.
- Privacy and Data Protection.
- (Cyber-)Security & Surveillance in the context of democracy and the rule of law.
- Digital Identity.
- Personal Data and Time (‘right to be forgotten’).

Through my research, I aim to contribute to the co-creation of a socio-technical context that empowers individuals to enhance their wellbeing.

I am psychologist and epidemiologist, currently working as assistant professor at the University of Groningen. My dissertation was titled “Development of patient centered management of asthma and COPD in primary care” with a strong emphasis on the use of technology and patient involvement. I have also worked as project leader eHealth in a large health care organization and I am active as board member or advisor in several patient organisations. These hands-on experiences with patients, health care professionals and health care organisations are valuable in my daily work. Above that, my unique experience in clinical, behavioural and implementation science have led to a solid and multidisciplinary basis for health research. In the past years I have coached and lectured numerous bachelor, master and PhD students with different backgrounds and from different faculties. In my role as project leader and chair I have learned to manage longitudinal (international) projects with researchers, health care professionals and students. My goal is to use my talent, experience and my passion for science to improve scientific knowledge in the field of eHealth.
