Background:
I have a background in cognitive psychology (MA degree 1979, University of Utrecht, The Netherlands). From 1979 till 1983 I was employed in the Speech Research group of the Institute for Perception Research (IPO), Eindhoven. In 1985 I received the Ph.D. degree from Leijden University on a thesis about Communicative functions of pitch accents. In 1985 and 1986 I worked at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen, The Netherlands. In 1986 I joined the Speech research group of IPO again, which was later renamed the Spoken Language Interface group. After the dissolution of IPO I joined the newly-founded User-Centered Engineering group with a couple of colleagues from IPO. In 2002 the User-Centered Engineering group joined the Department of Industrial Design.

Current Interests:

·         Application of speech i/o in man-machine interaction, most notably in multimodal interfaces.

·         Research in the area of Multimodal/Perceptive user interfaces

·         Communication

·         Computer-supported Co-located Collaboration

·         Automotive Human-Machine Interface

·         Ambient intelligence

Publications:
Papers on the prosody of human and synthetic speech, and on usability aspects of speech interfaces and multi-modal interfaces.

Technical Expertise:
Usability issues for speech interfaces and multimodal interfaces; User interface design methodology; Prosody of human and synthetic speech.

Teaching:

·         A course in the design of speech and multimodal interfaces

·         An introductory course on user interface design

·         A course on topics in cognitive ergonomics

·         A course on personality, emotion and social issues in human-system interaction

·         A master course on Mental models in human-system interaction

·         A master course on Computer-supported communication and cooperative working (CMC and CSCW)

·         I am a project coach at the domain Work of the department of Industrial Design
