I am an Associate Professor with the User Centred Engineering Group at the Faculty of Industrial Design of the TU/e in the department of Industrial Design.  I also teach for the USI post-graduate programme where I am responsible for curriculum affairs.

I have worked as a researcher at  Queen Mary University of London and Philips Research Laboratories, Eindhoven.

I research and teach topics related to user system interaction with ambient intelligence environments and interaction design for children, with a focus on applications, methods and theoretical issues regarding awareness and privacy and supporting mediated social interaction. In the past I have worked on user centred design, task modeling, formal specification of user interfaces, UML and software architectures for user interfaces.
