Personal profile
Research interests
As Programme Manager for Meaningful AI Endeavours at Breda University of Applied Sciences, I focus on the integration of artificial intelligence into educational systems, with a particular emphasis on aligning AI with institutional strategy and educational goals. I explore how AI can be leveraged to enhance curriculum development, improve operational efficiency, and support educational leadership. I am particularly interested in the intersection of AI and change management, investigating how educational institutions can navigate the complexities of AI adoption while maintaining ethical considerations and promoting a culture of innovation.
