Dr. Anne-Fleur van Veenstra

WiDS Maastricht | 9 MAR - 09:40

Director of Science Strategic Analysis & Policy at TNO

Biography
Anne is the Director of Science Strategy at TNO. She is responsible for the knowledge position of TNO’s unit Strategic Analysis and Policy. She is a senior researcher with over fifteen years’ experience in the fields Digital Government, Public Administration and Information Systems. Widely published on data-driven policy making, the societal impact of big and open data, emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence in public service delivery, and the impact of digitalization on organizations and governance. Set up TNO’s Policy Lab initiative, conducting experiments with data-driven policy making in collaboration with government organizations.

Reporting robust research results – perspectives from data science in the biomedical field

WiDS Maastricht | 9 MAR - 10:25

Dr. Rachel Cavill

Data Science and Knowledge Engineering, Maastricht University

Dr. Rachel Cavill

WiDS Maastricht | 9 MAR - 10:25

Data Science and Knowledge Engineering, Maastricht University

Biography
Dr Rachel Cavill is an assistant professor in the department of Data Science and Knowledge Engineering (DKE) at Maastricht University. After receiving her MMATH in Mathematics and Computer Science from the University of York in 2002, she continued at the same institution and received her PhD in 2007, developing bio-inspired machine learning algorithms. She transitioned into the field of bioinformatics during her postdoc years. During this time she spent four years working at Imperial College London, focusing on the analysis of ‘omics’ data, in particular, the integration of datasets acquired using different technologies on matched samples. This theme of data integration continues in her current research taking a broader form, as she and her team explore how machine learning and data science approaches can allow us to integrate biological datasets from different sources.
