Jonas Valbjørn Andersen is associate professor of digital innovation and analytics in critical information systems in the Department of Management at Aarhus University. He has a background from the management consulting and IT industry and holds a Ph.D. in Information Systems and Management from Warwick Business School, University of Warwick, UK.

His research focuses on digital innovation, analytics, and decision-making in critical information systems in finance, healthcare, defense, and agriculture. Specifically, he studies the balance between decentralisation and control in critical information systems. 

His research focuses on applying state-of-the-art data science and machine learning as well as simulation methods to organizational processes related to decision support or algorithmic decision-making. He primarily works on unstructured data including digital trace data typically collected from large-scale registers and systems logs as well as natural language processing and network analysis of open data sources. Data analysis is applied in combination with system modelling and simulation based on systems thinking in general and more specifically on a complex adaptive systems approach.

His most recent research focuses on the application of advanced healthcare analytics in precision medicine and clinical decision support. His work aims to contribute with insights on application of data science to decision-making and on understanding the nature of data production, collection, cleaning, and modelling for decision-making outcomes related to critical information systems.
