Publications Projects Group	Research My research is on artificial intelligence, in particular (Bayesian) machine learning. In a nutshell, we use probability calculus and statistics to design and understand "intelligent" systems that can learn from data. See my publications for recent and older results. In 2006, I received a prestigious Vici grant from NWO. Besides that, I am involved in several projects that concern applications in, among others, brain-computer interfaces, adaptive personalization of hearing aids, and bioinformatics. My research group is part of the section Intelligent Systems of iCIS, the best computer science institute within the Netherlands (according to this official report).
Courses Thesis projects	Teaching I teach several courses in computer science, information science, and artificial intelligence. People from our group put together several suggestions for Master and Bachelor thesis projects that students can do under our guidance. Aankomende studenten: kijk op onze website om te zien waarom je in Nijmegen informatica, informatiekunde of kunstmatige intelligentie moet komen studeren!
Neurocomputing iCIS Donders CV Kids	Other Since 2003, I am Editor-in-Chief of the scientific journal Neurocomputing. We publish papers on topics ranging from computational neuroscience to machine learning. Neurocomputing's 2010 impact factor is 1.43. I am a principal investigator (PI) at and research director of iCIS and an affiliated PI at the Donders Centre for Neuroscience. If you really have to, you can check out my (short, not really up-to-date) cv. On October 9, 2009, I held my inaugural speech. On the personal side, I am the proud father of two kids.
