In 2007 I received my PhD. in Human-Technology Interaction (HTI) at Eindhoven University of Technology. In the course of this thesis I focussed on the public acceptance of novel energy technologies. Specifically, the focus was on the attitude formation processes underlying public acceptance of biomass for the generation of electricity. In 2001 I received my MSc. in the domain of Human-Technology Interaction at Eindhoven University of Technology. During my master's research I focussed on social interactions in and around high rise residential buildings. The research was conducted at the Delft Interdepartmental Research Centre (DIOC) at the TU Delft. Trained as an environmental psychologist, my interests further include social and cognitive psychology, Human-Technology Interaction as well as urban planning and conservation behaviour. In 1995 I graduated from the Atheneum (Boschveld college in Venray) and moved towards Eindhoven. Here I started with my study of choice: Building Technology. In the next three year I focussed on urban design and architecture. In 1997 I swithed from Urban design to Human-Technology Interaction, which I finalized in 2001. |

Over the last two years I have worked in the EU funded FUGA project on measuring video-game experiences in real time. Here the ultimate aim was to develop an automatic system capturing peoples experiences as the game is unfolding, challenging both my psychological as well as engineering interests. Currently I am involved in a regional project (partly funded by the EU as well as by the province of Noord Brabant) concerned with employing motivational technologies in rehabilitation of MS and CVA patients. |

Starting with an interest in art, building technology and exact sciences I have developed a passion for understanding how people and the environment interact. For instance, why is it that certain environments seemingly make people be more at ease, or conversely make them more tensed? Interactions can take place on several different scales. For instance, on the scale of an individual or a group the environment can make it possible as well as constrain how people act. At a more micro level, the environment can also shape our thoughts about object we did not even knew existed a minute ago.
