About me

I'm an assistant professor within the agent systems group, department of artificial intelligence at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Furthermore, during August and September 2007 I've been a visiting researcher at the MAGNET group, University of Minnesota. For more details, see my CV. For a list of my publications, click here.

I've obtained my PhD from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam as well. On June 18th 2007 to be precise. The thesis is titled Modeling of Change in Multi-Agent Organizations, which I've written under supervision of Catholijn Jonker and Jan Treur. More information concerning the thesis can be found here.

Before starting my PhD I obtained a Master's degree in Computer Science at the Vrije Universiteit, on the 27th of August 2003. I wrote my Master's thesis together with Stefan Botman on 'Supplier Agents within the MAGNET system', which I did at the University of Minnesota under supervision of Maria Gini. Information on studying abroad can be found here.
