How can machines learn from interaction? Or how can phenomena such as intelligence, creativity or more in general, complex behaviour emerge from simple parts? Big questions of course, but nonetheless fascinating. I enjoy studying these questions as a researcher in the Data Mining Group as well as in the Media Technology program at the Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science at Leiden University in the Netherlands. Next to that I apply these methods in industry, most recently as the Director of Decisioning Solutions at Pegasystems, and I also have experience with start-ups, both as an employee and as an informal advisor. I am a member of the interdisciplinary research programme Society, Artificial Intelligence and Life Sciences (SAILS).
