My research focuses on collaborative and crowd systems, their potential and their applications. I develop methods that help people work together, coordinate their efforts and innovate at scale and efficiently, online or within physical spaces. My approach is interdisciplinary, combining insights from computational science (machine learning, agent-based modelling, mathematical optimization) and social sciences (personality testing, team building).
At Utrecht University I lead the , and coordinate the Computing Science Master's and programs. I also serve as Fair Data and Software fellow, part of the Open Science Team of the Faculty of Science, and as a member of the of the Faculties of Science and Geosciences.
