SURF Research Day 2026

Willigen, R.F. van der (Rob)

With a PhD in biophysics, Rob van der Willigen serves as the Tech-Lead of the HR DataLabs: Healthcare, EAS and AI SusTech; specializing in creating robust data infrastructures (Data Fabric) for explainable AI and Neural Networks. In 2019, he founded the Prometheus Data Science Lab as part of the SURF Digital Competence Center for Practice-Oriented Research, underscoring his deep commitment to the ethical and responsible application of artificial intelligence. He currently drives the technical development of the HR AI-Hub (https://hr-ai-hub.github.io/), providing researchers with sovereign, secure, and on-premises generative AI workflows. Furthermore, his postdoctoral research with the Donders Center for Neuroscience on natural language comprehension forms the scientific foundation for his ongoing focus on machine learning, truth-finding protocols, transparent AI systems and the biological origin of language understanding.
