I am professor of Innovation in Artificial Intelligence and Law at Utrecht University, where I divide my time between the department of Information and Computing Sciences and the School of Law. I study how people reason - particularly in the context of the law - how this reasoning can be captured in formal models and how it can be supported and improved using Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies. I mainly work in the fields of argumentation in AI and AI & Law.
