TNO Vector Tom Barbereau

My name is Tom Barbereau and I am a Scientist Specialist (Digital Society) at the Strategy and Policy Department of TNO Vector. I bring passion for disruptive technologies' impact on organisations and society.


Trained in the social sciences (MSc) and information systems management (PhD), I contribute scientific expertise on disprutive technologies from an interdiciplinary perspective. My work primarily focuses on questions of governance, and its implications on the design of technology, the fit with organisations' goals, and broader impacts on society.

I contributed academic research on blockchain (decentralised finance), identity management, and the metaverse. It was published in leading academic journals in sociology, administrative science, and law amongst others
