SURF Onderwijs-dagen (“Education Days”) is one of the Netherlands’ largest events on education, with presentations, workshops and demo’s. Hundreds of people in the education field go to this event. On 12 and 13 November, 2024, I had the pleasure to attend this event.
At the end of primary school, students in the Netherlands do not always reach the levels set by the Dutch government in terms of conversation skills. One of the Master-students I supervised at the Open Universiteit tackled this issue.
“Why is the sky blue?”, “What is a black hole?”, and “How does a search engine work?” – these are some of the questions which are raised in the exhibition “Zeker Weten?!” (“Are you sure?!”) in the Discovery Museum in Heerlen.
During the Netherlands Film Festival (NFF) Talent days, I was invited to a feedback session in Utrecht.
For an open call of the Imagine Film Festival and the Netherlands Institute for Sound & Vision, I created a plan for a short sci-fi animation film Shadow of the Machine. It won the open call.
January 2021, I was briefly featured in a TV program of Dutch broadcaster RTL Z. I was interviewed about the Virtual Interiors project and could demonstrate some of the 2D and 3D interfaces we are working on.
In a short paper for the CHIIR conference 2020, we explored the question of how to design user interfaces for searching and retrieving 3D models in a digital humanities context.
For the Virtual Interiors project, I was embedded at the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision. In a blogpost on their site, I discuss the creation of an interactive visualization of a historical radio from the 1920s.
During the Digital Humanities Benelux 2019 conference in Liège, our paper received the best paper award. It looked at novel and visual ways to support scholars’ interpretation of audiovisual sources through temporal content exploration.

In February 2018, I joined the DH Lab KNAW team at the fourth HackaLOD challenge. We received the 1st prize with our historical recipe app, Jamie LOD-iver.
