Summary
Jeroen Linssen is a Professor (Lector) in Symbiotic Artificial Intelligence with nine years of applied research and teaching experience focused on enabling IoT, AI and XR for a smart world. He co-leads the Ambient Intelligence research group at Saxion University, driving collaborative projects that connect research, education and industry across regional, national and international partners. His work emphasizes Explainable AI and human–AI symbiosis, translating cognitive-AI and human–media interaction expertise from a PhD into practical solutions in healthcare, industry and education. Jeroen combines hands-on system integration experience—from dialogue systems and virtual agents to situated robotics—with a track record of guiding student projects and acquiring AI-driven research initiatives. A detail often overlooked: his background in designing social, emergent virtual agents informs a pragmatic focus on interpretable, people-centered AI rather than purely technical benchmarks.
