Biography

Martijn Kleppe is Board member Research & Discovery of the KB, National Library of the Netherlands. Trained as historian, he wrote a dissertation on photographic iconic images by building and applying computational techniques. Before moving to the KB, he was a researcher in several European Digital Humanities research projects that focused on opening up (audio) visual and textual archives by using AI techniques such as National Language Processing, speech recognition and computer vision.

At the KB, he led the Research Department and moved to the Board of Directors in 2022. He oversees both the online and physical Research and Discovery services of the KB, as well as all research activities in order for all usergroups to get better, richer and more innovative access to the national cultural treasures.

Martijn is board member of CLARIAH, the national digital infrastructure for the Arts and the Humanities (NWO). He is one of the founding members of both the Cultural AI Lab (ICAI) as well as Future Libraries Lab (TU Delft). He chairs the Research Advisory Board of the Network Digital Heritage (NDE), and is member of both the National Research Council for Heritage (NWO, OCW & RCE) as well as the Scientific Technical Council of SURF.
