Maarten Lamers is a researcher and educator in computer science and artificial intelligence at Leiden University. His academic interests include machine learning, human-robot relations, and the question of whether machines can be creative. Explaining complex concepts through simple and engaging terms and examples, is what Maarten has specialized in. He has been called one of the most inspiring nerds of The Netherlands by a major publication, and the country’s favorite AI-explainer. His playful research was mocked by comedian Ricky Gervais – something that Maarten is proud of. Maarten holds a PhD in machine learning (2001) and is an assistant professor at Leiden University.
