I help organisations understand user behaviour and build responsible, high-impact AI—and I make the journey understandable for executives, product teams, and the public.

What I offer

  • Keynotes & Public Talks

    Clear, energising talks on responsible AI, recommender systems, trust & misinformation, and behaviour change (media & health). Audiences leave with practical frameworks they can use the next day.

  • Executive Briefings & Advisory

    Tailored, board-level sessions and ongoing advisory on strategy, governance, and product roadmaps—bridging state-of-the-art research with business impact.

  • Conference & Workshop Organisation / Moderation

    Seasoned organiser and chair (ACM RecSys, SIGIR, IUI, UMAP, MMM). I design the programme, recruit speakers, moderate sessions, and deliver outcomes that partners value.

  • Grant & Paper Reviewing / Evaluations

    External expert reviewer for national research councils (NWO, EPSRC, FWO); PC/Senior PC for leading conferences; reviewer for journals including Nature, ACM TOIS/TWEB, UMUAI, and more. I also evaluate PhD/MSc theses.

  • Hands-on Consulting & Project Sprints

    Rapid discovery → prototype sprints for recommender systems, news/health AI, and trust—delivered with your teams to de-risk and accelerate adoption.
