Research profile
Martijn Willemsen is an Associate Professor on human decision making in interactive systems in the Human Technology Interaction group at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). Martijn researches the cognitive aspects of Human-Technology Interaction, with a strong focus on judgment and decision making in online environments. His applied research focuses on how online decisions can be supported by recommender systems, and includes domains such as movies, health related decisions and energy-saving measures. From a more theoretical perspective, he has a special interest in process tracing technologies to capture and analyze in detail information processing of decision makers.
His applied research focuses on online consumer decision making including environmental and health decisions and how these can be supported by recommender systems. Recent research has focused on user-centric development and evaluation of recommender systems and the psychological aspects of decision making in recommender systems. Topics include choice overload, the impact of diversification on choice difficulty and choice satisfaction and how memory processes influence rating behavior.
