Research

Eelco goes Mobile My wide research interest is centered around human-computer interaction. In particular, I am interested in how users interact with programs, how they search for information, and how the return to places where they have been before.

I am fond of conducting user studies, from the early design to the final analysis, to find out typical interaction patterns, differences between users, usability issues and points for improvement. Improvement may be reached by better user interace design, possibly making use of personalization, based on a user model.

My main qualifications include extensive knowledge on user interfaces and Web personalization; programming skills in various Web languages and Java; conducting experiments and statistical analysis; data mining and graph modeling. There are quite a few more things that I know or can do, varying from very basic to relatively advanced. I guess this is reflected in the work I have done so far.
