Meet Laura
In 2024, I completed the Master's programme in Human Technology Interaction at the Eindhoven University of Technology. During my studies, my interest grew in the way humans and technology are connected and can understand each other, and how we can use technology to address societal challenges. With my broad background in psychology and technology, I have worked with various quantitative and qualitative research methods. In the field of UX design, I have focused on user research, with an emphasis on user interaction with different systems and technologies. Since November 2024, I have been working at Dialogic as a researcher and advisor. I am mainly involved in research projects related to digitalisation and education. I enjoy delving into digitalisation issues for municipalities, provinces, and other governments, always considering the end user. Researching digitalisation in education also interests me: how can we use digital tools to support young people in education? These themes converge in my current projects, including research for the Katwijk Audit Office on the use of AI within the municipality, research for Kennisnet on digital distance education, and research for BZK on online identification. Additionally, I contribute to evaluation studies, mainly for the Research and Documentation Centre (WODC) and the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (OCW). In my free time, I enjoy playing hockey, hiking, snowboarding, and following various sports matches. I also appreciate a craft beer and playing games with friends.
