Research Positions From October 2013 Visiting Researcher (NWO Veni project) Center of Excellence in "Cognitive Interaction Technology", Bielefeld University (Germany) As of June 2011 Assistant Professor Tilburg center for Cognition and Communication, Tilburg University (The Netherlands) November 2005 June 2011 Doctoral Candidate, Junior Researcher Communication and Cognition group, Tilburg University (The Netherlands) Supervisors: Prof. Dr. Alfons Maes, Prof. Dr. Emiel Krahmer, Prof. Dr. Marc Swerts Together with Prof. Dr.-Ing. Stefan Kopp and Prof. Dr. Jan de Ruiter, I work on a (computational) model of gesture and speech perception and production. My focus is on adaptation in gesture and speech. I study the cognitive underpinnings of hand gesture and speech comprehension and production. I co-supervise Karin van Nispen in her PhD project on gesture and aphasia. I co-supervise Yan Gu in his PhD project on gesture and second language acquisition. To reveal more about the cognitive processes involved in hand gesture production, I studied how gesturing is affected by: a speaker s mental model of the addressee, computer mediation, the difficulty of a task, the perception of gestures (adaptation), and aphasia.

February September 2005 Research programmer and learning member of the ACT-R research team Prof. Dr. John Anderson's lab, Psychology Department, Carnegie Mellon University (USA) May December 2004 Master student (final project) University of Groningen (The Netherlands) 2003 Trainee, short project Sound Intelligence (a Dutch company) I conducted research on strategy development in multitasking, with a focus on individual differences in the employment of bottom-up and top-down strategies. I combined computational cognitive modeling, in ACT-R and Common Lisp, with experimental research. I studied how theory of mind use affects the interpretation and production of scalar terms. I studied the effect of monaural differences in phase on perception and implemented resynthesis of speech in Matlab. Teaching Positions From June 2011 Assistant Professor Tilburg University 2007 June 2011 Doctoral Candidate Tilburg University 2004 Lab Assistant University of Groningen Current courses: Methodology (Dutch, Bachelor, 225 students) Previous courses: Research Workshop Business Communication and Digital Media (Dutch, Bachelor, 125 students in groups of five); Nonverbal Communication (English, Master, 50 students); Research Skills Module: Laboratory Research (English, Master, 80/120 students, including lab sessions in pairs and groups of four, taught twice a year). Supervision: I supervise two PhD-students. I have so far supervised 14 Master and 13 Bachelor students. I co-taught the Research Master course Communication Theory for two years (English, 12 students). I co-taught the Master course Nonverbal Communication in 2010 (English, 70 students). I advised two students for their Master thesis projects and I introduced many students to gesture analysis. For the course Architectures of Intelligence by Niels Taatgen (Master, English), I taught students how to write models of human cognition in ACT-R and graded their assignments.
