I work as an Asso­ciate Pro­fes­sor at the depart­ment of Human-Cen­tered Design of the Fac­ul­ty Indus­tri­al Design Engi­neer­ing, at Delft Uni­ver­si­ty of Tech­nol­o­gy. With a back­ground in Com­put­er Sci­ence, in the last 2 decades I’ve con­tributed in the field of Human Com­put­er Inter­ac­tions to sup­port behav­iour­al change and well­be­ing.

In the last 5 years I’ve focused my inter­est in under­stand­ing the role of (per­son­al) data and its inter­ac­tions with peo­ple in their dai­ly life to influ­ence their abil­i­ties and val­ues to change prac­tices. I’ve active­ly applied my knowl­edge in the con­text of self-man­age­ment in health­care and sus­tain­abil­i­ty (ener­gy con­sump­tion).

Since 2 years ago, I’ve also gained high inter­est in Open Data by becom­ing a Data Cham­pi­on at IDE and by apply­ing FAIR prin­ci­ples in my own research projects. Cur­rent­ly I’m also explor­ing the devel­op­ment of data enabled tools to run Open Sci­ence projects specif­i­cal­ly in the con­text of Cit­i­zen Sci­ence to scale up the col­lec­tion, shar­ing and appli­ca­tion of behav­iour­al insights from self-man­age­ment to pol­i­cy mak­ing.
