  • Over mij

    Hi! Ik ben een mens-techniek interactie-onderzoeker die zich richt op personalisatie en overtuigingskracht. Ik onderzoek zogenaamde 'recommender systems' of aanbevelingssystemen, die je misschien kent van Netflix of Amazon. Dit zijn algoritmen en interfaces die inhoud presenteren die passen bij jouw eerdere voorkeuren. Dat doe ik vooral op domeinen waar mensen hun gedrag kunnen veranderen, zoals energiebesparing, gezond en duurzaam eten en nieuws. Ik heb een veelzijdige achtergrond en combineer inzichten uit verschillende disciplines, zoals marketingcommunicatie, informatica, psychologie en gedragseconomie.
