Short Bio
I have studied History and Philosophy (B.A., Rotterdam) as well as in Science and Technology Studies (M.A., Vienna). Coming from this background I am focused on the study of technologies in their social and political context. In this TrustRobots PhD-project, I am analysing the ways in which overconfidence as well as distrust in robots play a role concerning the governance of robots, the (professional) collaboration with robots and the interaction with robots.
