👋 Hello

I am a lead data scientist at the FD Mediagroep, where I lead a team of four data scientists on the award winning BNR SMART Radio, and FD’s SMART Journalism projects. I obtained my PhD in Information Retrieval at ILPS (at the University of Amsterdam) in 2017 under supervision of prof. dr. Maarten de Rijke.

I have a background in the media, and currently work on news personalization and recommender systems. I don’t believe in the filter bubble, I don’t think personalized ads are the death of democracy, and in the current times where AI touches many aspects of our lives, I feel a responsibility as a computer scientist to explain about my work and area of expertise.
