I am a full Professor in Human-Centered Computing at TU Delft, and Principal Scientist at TNO in the Human-Machine Teaming department. Key theme is the socio-cognitive engineering (SCE) of hybrid intelligence, particularly artificial, virtual or physical, agents (ePartners) that show social, cognitive and affective behaviors to enhance performance, resilience, health and/or wellbeing. Examples are robotic and virtual assistants that help patients to cope with their chronic disease (such as diabetics) in different self-managements activities, and robots that help older adults with dementia and care givers to establish positive experiences of life in the care centers.

Roles in Hybrid Intelligence: Supervisor

Hybrid Intelligence Research Objectives: Collaborative HI, Explainable HI
