ABOUT ME
I am currently employed as a postdoctoral reasearcher working on the ImREAL project at the Web Information Systems group @ Delft University of Technology.
Between 2005 and 2009, I worked towards my PhD at the Human Media Interaction group of the University of Twente under the supervision of Franciska de Jong and Djoerd Hiemstra.
My research interests include query performance prediction (the topic of my PhD thesis), IR for specific user groups, personalization and false memories in search.
