Ander de Keijzer

Ander de Keijzer serves as Professor in Applied Responsible Artificial Intelligence at Avans University of Applied Sciences, leading the lectorate within the Expertise Center for Technical Innovation (affiliated with the Center of Expertise for Perspective in Health). His work addresses critical challenges in data applicability, privacy, and societal implementation of ICT solutions for resilient urban environments.

His academic trajectory includes a PhD in 2008 followed by progressive roles:

• Lecturer at University of Twente
• Lecturer at Windesheim University of Applied Sciences
• Senior Lecturer and Acting Professor at Utrecht University of Applied Sciences

De Keijzer specializes in multidisciplinary research bridging computer science, data mining, and software engineering to develop practice-oriented solutions. His current focus areas include energy transition data alignment, aging-in-place technologies, and privacy-preserving data processing through innovations like the data washing machine. Research emphasizes methodological flexibility tailored to specific societal problems rather than rigid technical approaches.

He actively collaborates with students and researchers on externally funded initiatives:

• BRAVE
• Art-IE
• SmartScan
• Smart Assessment
• Sustainable Tourist Destinations (SASTDES)
• Data washing machine
• Artificial Intelligence against Litter

De Keijzer is a consortium member of The DataTales and participates in the PRIO lecturer platform for Practical Informatics Research, driving applied informatics innovation across institutional boundaries.
