Dr. van der Sloot's research pioneers the integration of virtue ethics with digital privacy frameworks, examining how self-regulation and personal autonomy intersect with data protection in AI-driven environments. His current NWO Veni Grant-funded project "The right to be let alone ... by yourself" redefines privacy paradigms through philosophical and legal lenses, while his foundational work on privacy ethics continues to shape EU data governance discourse. He actively bridges theoretical research with real-world policy applications across governmental and supranational contexts.
His scientific recognition includes:
- NWO Top Talent Grant (fully funded PhD research)
- NWO Veni Grant (2021-2025) for groundbreaking privacy autonomy project
- KNAW Early Career Award for exceptional scholarly contributions
As a policy architect, he co-authored the Scientific Council for Government Policy's seminal Big Data regulation report and EU/Dutch government policy frameworks. His leadership as former director of the Privacy & Identity Lab (2016-2021) and founder of the Amsterdam Platform for Privacy Research cultivated multidisciplinary research ecosystems, while establishing the Privacy Studies minor and organizing triennial Amsterdam Privacy Conferences demonstrated institutional building acumen. His editorship of the European Data Protection Law Review anchors ongoing scholarly dialogue in the field.
Through the Privacy & Identity Lab and Amsterdam Platform for Privacy Research, he built collaborative networks uniting legal scholars, technologists, and policymakers to address emerging challenges in digital identity governance, establishing enduring research infrastructure that continues to shape European privacy scholarship beyond his directorship tenure.
