Dutch computer scientists

Dutch computer scientists with a public profile on Google Scholar. Names were identified by (1) selecting a Dutch knowledge institution; (2) scanning the top 200 profiles in terms of citation count from the institution; (3) selecting computer scientists with an H-index of at least 40 from the top 200.

The H-index and citation count data in the table below is obtained from Google Scholar.

For some researchers, an additional field is available, that indicates in which AI area (as listed in the SIGAI Dutch AI Manifesto) they are active.

Disclaimers: (1) researchers who do not have a public Google Scholar profile are not on this list; (2) researchers who do not have a verified email with one of the Dutch knowledge institutes on Google Scholar are not on the list; (3) the decision of who is a computer scientist is based on the self-supplied job description and area(s) of interest on a researcher’s Google Scholar profile, which is an error-prone process; (4) researchers included in the table who have an H-index of less than 40 once had an H-index of at least 40: after an update of Google Scholar their H-index dropped below 40 but, optimistically, they are assumed to reach 40 again.
