Jacco leads the User-centric Data Science research group. His research interests include assessment of data quality in large, heterogeneous research datasets in the digital humanities, large scale web data integration and linking in cultural heritage and other data rich domains.

Sjoerd Hendriks is a Dutch interaction designer based in Sweden, currently doing a PhD in Interaction Design. He is a guest researcher at UCDS.

I am an Associate Professor in the domains of brain-computer interfaces (BCI) and human-robot interaction (HRI). I use wearable sensors and AI models to deliver personalized interaction with technology, particularly for the purpose of adaptive training and learning.

André Valdestilhas is a Post-doctoral researcher working on the ODISSEI project

Bart is a firefighter and owner of Netage B.V. He is a guest researcher at UCDS.

Andrei is a PhD-student at Human-Centered Data Analytics group and a member of the Cultural AI Lab. He investigates how to bring out multiple perspectives about digital cultural heritage objects and represent them in transparent narrative forms with semantic web technologies and machine learning.

I am an assistant professor at VU University Amsterdam working on the semantic web, social systems, controlled natural languages, artificial intelligence, computational linguistics, and bioinformatics.

 I am a PhD candidate with a special focus on data quality of knowledge graphs.

I am associate professor (UHD) in the UCDS group and co-director of the Cultural AI lab. I am interested in user-centric AI to tackle research challenges in Cultural Heritage, Digital Humanities and ICT for Development (ICT4D).

I am a post-doc researcher interested working in the HAICu project on polyvocality in digital cultural heritage. 

I am a PhD candidate within the UCDS and Hybrid Intelligence Centre, working on improving Human-Robot Collaboration using Brain-Computer Interfaces. My goal is to develop a real-time neuroadaptive system by detecting error-related potentials in EEG data and leveraging reinforcement learning to update the robot’s behaviour.

I am a PhD candidate, focusing on Linked Data visualisation and Knowledge Discovery, particularly for provenance research in colonial heritage objects.

PhD candidate at the Civic AI lab, focusing on bias modeling and explainable AI for non-discrimination and transparency within the public policy domain. Works in collaboration with the Ministry of Interior Affairs.

Alessio is a PhD candidate in the Neurorobotics Group at the IAS-Lab, University of Padua. His research explores Brain-Computer Interfaces, with an emphasis on the training process and user feedback. He aims to develop metrics to quantify user learning and improve the steepness of the learning curve.

Richard Zijdeman is a social historian employed at IISH with a strong affinity for FAIR and Open Science infrastructure and innovative use of linked data in the social sciences and humanities. He is a guest researcher at UCDS.

Researcher at UCDS, interested in Semantic Web and Linked Data for Cultural Heritage.

Xander researches machine learning on multimodal knowledge graph

Ronald is an Assistant Professor at the VU Amsterdam on various projects. I am currently spending most of my time within the Interconnect, ODISSEI and SSHOC-NL projects.
