Peter-Paul Verbeek investigates the relationship between humans and technology. He develops concepts that explain the latest technological advances and their impact on humanity. His work combines philosophy, ethics, design, biomedical technology, materials science, and art. Verbeek is a former chairperson of The Young Academy. He makes frequent media appearances, has talked about his research at festivals (Lowlands and De Zwarte Cross), and is the author of two popular science publications, De grens van de mens and Op de vleugels van Icarus.
