\n My research interests go in circles around User-Centered Design of new product or service concepts, especially how to involve users to the design process. My take on design is equally user and technology driven.

\n

\n My PhD thesis considers the necessary knowledge and skills for succesfull design and in its final form, during 2014, it will describe a competency model for UCD with practical tools to evaluate potential strengths and shortcomings in projects and the teams executing the design activities.

\n

\n I teach Strategic User-Centred Design and instruct B.Sc. and M.Sc. theses.
