Welcome To My Home Page

My name is Eelco Herder. I work as a postdoc at the L3S Research Center in Hannover, where I conduct research in the field of Human-Computer Interaction. My specialization is Adaptive Hypermedia.

I am currently involved in the European projects Grapple and Stellar, in which I work as local team leader and work package manager. I was general manager of the Prolean NoE, which finished successfully in 2008. I served as local chair of the Adaptive Hypermedia 2008 conference and as publicity chair of UMAP 2010 and UMAP 2011. Apart from project coordination, I supervise four Ph.D. students. Since 2007 I serve as the chair of the German SIG on Adaptive Systems and Interactive Systems ABIS.

My main research interests include Web personalization, user modeling, usability and HCI in general. In Grapple, we build a framework for user modeling, reasoning and profile enrichment using Web 2.0 services. Other research topics include Web usage analysis and the development of tools for Personal Information Management.

Most of my spare time is dedicated to music. I play the piano, solo and together with my partner, opera tenor Kristof Schliep. Together we have a theatre program with German songs from the 1920s and 1930s. I also sing in a choir, the Capella St. Crucis.
