Personal profile
Experience
My research starts by using agent-based modelling investigate creativity (2002-2004). Unexpected findings made the research pivot to more complex and deep challenge on collective intelligence, creating an interdisciplinary PhD (2005- feb 2015). After some years as entrepreneur, consultant and coach (2015 - 2021) I'm back at academia to focus research for Next Generation University (NGU). During my PhD NGU education was investigated, now as postdoc the focus is on NGU research with the NEON project. Next to the applied research with NEON I work with collegues to combine pilot NGU project to an integral design for the 4th generation university.
