Personal profile

Research profile

Nele is a PhD candidate in the Interactive Intelligence group at TU Delft, supervised by Dr. ir. Willem-Paul Brinkman and Prof. dr. Mark Neerincx. Using her background in machine learning and especially reinforcement learning, she researches how we can support people in accomplishing their long-term goals. Specifically, she is interested in adapting digital behavior change support to people and their situations over time. As part of the NWO-funded Perfect Fit project, the focus thereby is on creating adaptive support in a conversational agent that helps people quit smoking and become more physically active.
