I am Anouk van Kasteren, PhD candidate at Utrecht University and the Dutch Railways.


About me

I am pursuing my PhD at Utrecht University's Human Centered Computing group in collaborating with the Dutch Railways (NS). After two years of hands-on experience as a UX professional, I returned to academia. My current research focus is on context-aware personalization for public transport information systems, upholding a traveler-centered approach.

I have a background in Industrial Design (Bachelor's) and Human-Technology Interaction (Master's), I navigate the crossroads of design, psychology, and artificial intelligence. I have a curiosity about human behavior and decision-making, aiming to leverage this knowledge to enhance daily interactions through AI applications. Witnessing the development of AI in our daily lives, I am driven to understand its impact on our experiences, behavior and decision-making processes. I want to safeguard a responsible and human-centered development of these technologies.
