I am an academic who studies how people reason, how this reasoning can be captured in formal models and how it can be supported and improved using AI technologies. I am involved in the fields of in argumentation in AI and AI & Law. I work at the Department of Information and Computing Science of Utrecht University and the Tilburg Institute for Law, Technology, and Society (TILT) of Tilburg University, the Netherlands.
