Annelies (*New Year's Eve 1946) originates from a family skilled in building, building services engineering, and textile trades. As an inquisitive child she decided to study biology since living and nature appeared of a higher order of complexity than technology. She received her academic education at the Catholic University of Nijmegen (currently Radboud University Nijmegen), obtaining her PhD degree in 1972 on a thesis describing indoor environments as ecosystems to explain historically and geographically different exposures to mites and insects leading to allergic disease. To make scientific knowledge better applicable she earned professional certificates in room cleaning and indoor pest management. Part of the thesis work was done at the agricultural research station of the University of Manitoba (Winnipeg, Canada). With additional grants she later completed her basic academic education with stays at universities and research stations in the USA: Hamilton, Montana and Honolulu, Hawaii (parasitic mites), East-Lansing, Michigan (organising Bachelor and Master educational programs).

For a quarter of a century she researched and taught mite-related disease at the Medical Department of Utrecht State University (currently Utrecht University), receiving the Dr.-Karl-Heyer-Award for these activities in 1993 in Monchengladbach (Germany) and the IgNobelprize at Harvard University (USA) in 2007. In the meantime she had taken up collaboration with Eindhoven University of Technology, bringing her back in the domain of the ancestral trades. Her Eindhoven chair ‘Biotic Agents in the Built Environment' mirrored her Utrecht chair, entitled ‘Biotic Agents in Dwelling Hygiene'.

In 1999 her Eindhoven chair was renamed ‘Public Health Engineering for Built Environments'. Always attentive on cultural changes taking place, such as greying and the increase of multiculturalism in European societies, she became involved in gerontechnology; starting 2001 Gerontechnology Quarterly Journal in collaboration with prof.dr Herman Bouma. Together with dr.ir Cees Doevendans, she initiated the European Graduate Research School on User-Oriented Built Environments (USO-Built). Annelies holds the European Professional Biologist (EurProBiol) title of the European Countries Biologists Association (ECBA), is a member of the board of the International Society for Gerontechnology (ISG), and the editor-in-chief of Gerontechnology Quarterly Journal (www.gerontechjournal.net). Her current research interest includes built-environments technology supporting vitality, well-being and full citizenship up to a high age. This includes the technological prevention of chronic disease.

Current teaching includes Pubic Health Engineering (7y900), Home automation and Robotics (7y910) for Master students and a Friday afternoon workshop on scientific publishing for PhD students, once every two weeks. Since 2006 yearly International Master classes on Gerontechnology are also organized.
