I work as a researcher at the university and Maastro Clinic, a radiotherapy center affiliated with the University hospital located in Maastricht. I do interdisciplinary research on the boundary between IT and health care. Open science, in particular open (and FAIR) data, is an important aspect of my research as we have to safeguard the privacy of patients while learning from the data they provide us with.

I study the role of machine representation of knowledge and hypothesis in life sciences, metabolomics, drug discovery, and toxicology, involving cheminformatics, chemometrics and semantic web technologies. In the past, I have applied research on this also to QSAR and crystallography. Open source programming and Open science is also my main hobby, resulting in participation in, amongst many others, Chemistry Development Kit, WikiPathways, Bioclipse, BridgeDb, and others.

You can contact me with questions on:

• Open Access
• FAIR principles
• FAIR Coffee lectures
• Data management
• Data sharing (e.g. Dataverse)
• Data archiving (DataHub)

I work as an assistant professor at Maastricht University, University College Venlo. My teaching and research are focused on psychology and nutrition, and specifically the psychology of eating. In my position I find it important to teach students about the replication crisis and the importance of good quality (open) science.

You can contact me with questions on:

• Open Research practices in social sciences and humanities
• Working with sensitive or restricted data
• Strategies for FAIR sharing of qualitative research data

I am an assistant professor at the department of Cognitive Neuroscience of the Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience, using (f)MRI and behavioral experiments to study tactile processing and pain in health and disease. Many researchers subscribe to the FAIR principles, but translating these into daily practice is still challenging. I hope to contribute to the collaborative effort of implementing FAIR data management and other open science related practices into workflows and education at FPN.
