We make the Digital Society School

The Digital Society School is made by many of us. Students, researchers, relations in business and government and university staff form an ever growing network of kindred spirits. However, below are the people that work on making DSS a success on a day to day basis. Do you have a question? One of these people is sure to answer it.

I’m Joost Plattel, a data-strategist. I help organizations and individuals develop and build strategies for data-related questions and opportunities. I create experimental models, data visualizations, APIs and dashboards to solve these questions or explore the opportunities. The question I try to answer is: How do we use all the data generated every second? How do we turn it into information, to knowledge and finally wisdom? I’m often asked to give lectures and talks about data, experiments, ethics and difficult or weird questions to make people think.

My background includes design, engineering and research. Combining these can support great societal developments and I'm delighted to develop their synergy at DSS. I love gaining and sharing knowledge, having crazy ideas and exploring hidden corners. My PhD topic is classification uncertainty, where many hidden corners need more attention.
