Anne Beaulieu
Prof. Anne Beaulieu holds the Aletta Jacobs Chair of Knowledge Infrastructures at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands.
Her research and teaching provide insights into how data is created, synthesized and transformed into evidence. She also studies 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 Fryslân, 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.
