About me

I'm an Assistant Professor within the Agent Systems group, Department of Artificial Intelligence at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.


My main research focus is in the area of (multi-)agent systems and ambient intelligence. This research is applied in various projects, including two EU projects (ICT4Depression and SOCIONICAL), and a project funded by the National Aerospace Laboratory. For a list of my publications, click here.


I'm also involved in teaching several courses related to Artificial Intelligence and Agent Systems. In addition, I'm the Mastercoordinator for the various Artifical Intelligence programs and the study advisor for 2nd and 3rd year bachelor students Artificial Intelligence.


Before starting as an assistant professor, I've been a visiting researcher at the MAGNET group, University of Minnesota during August and September 2007. I've obtained my PhD from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam as well. On June 18th 2007 to be precise. The thesis is titled Modeling of Change in Multi-Agent Organizations, which I've written under supervision of Catholijn Jonker and Jan Treur. More information concerning the thesis can be found here.


For more details on me, and my research and teaching activities, see the information below, and also my CV.
