A
ssociate Professor of Science and Technology Studies and Director of the Data Research Centre, University of Groningen. She leads the research group Knowledge Infrastructures for Sustainability at Campus Fryslan.
Beaulieu’s work focuses on diversity and complexity in knowledge infrastructures. Her contributions provide insights into how data is created, synthesized and transformed into evidence, and how databases, platforms and data flows shape what we know and who has access to this knowledge. She has led the development of many lines of research and teaching, among others at University College Fryslan, in the Minor Data Wise and as scientific coordinator of PhD training of the Netherlands Graduate Research School of Science, Technology and Modern Culture (WTMC).
Data is a recurring theme across many of her activities, including her passion for bio-oriented scuba diving and triathlon.
