During my bachelor information science I learned to investigate how people perceive, communicate and use technology.

I have also developed skills for inventing, developing and implementing ICT applications. During the study I also followed the minor Programming.

New Media Design is a specialization within the master Communication and Information Sciences. During the master I gained experience and knowledge about interactive technology, design processes, creativity and how people use new media.

During my master’s thesis, I research an interactive personalized decision aid for colon cancer patients.
