I work at the intersection of design, human–computer interaction, and quantum technology, focusing on imagining and engaging with abstract concepts and future scenarios. Together with different stakeholders, through creative and interactive approaches, we explore and evaluate how quantum computing can be made tangible, understandable, actionable, and open for reflection and dialogue.
Selected projects and platforms:
*FONQT.nl Platform* — bringing together research, education, and practice to build a shared 'lectoraten' ecosystem around photonics, nanotechnology, and quantum technologies. (Webdesign in collaboration with Creja)
*Divide & Quantum* — Exploring how quantum technologies can be meaningfully connected to societal contexts through interdisciplinary collaboration and evaluation (impact and awareness study in collaboration with Leiden University)
*Designing for Many Possible Futures: Creatief met Quantum* — investigating how creative methods and making practices can help imagine, question, and engage with uncertain and abstract quantum futures.
