I have a background in cognitie science and teach user experience design (UXD). My research is, in short, about serious gaming, i.e. using computer games for other purposes than purely entertainment (e.g. training, education, rehabilitation, eSports). Additional academic interests are, among others, affective computing, animal cognition, interface and interaction design.

- Affective interaction and emotion (lecturer and examiner)
- Bachelor degree project in user experience design (supervisor)
- Master degree project in informatics with a specialisation in serious games (supervisor and examiner)
- User Experience Design - Research and Development (lecturer and supervisor)
