Biography

My research interests include future-oriented strategic intelligence in science and technology policy and (online) stakeholder and public engagement in governance and governance research. I have developed interactive hybrid qualitative/quantitative appraisal methods for visualising and deliberating contrasting perspectives on issues such as 'multicriteria diversity analysis' based on multicriteria mapping and 'Q-mapping' based on Q methodology. As EU Marie-Curie Fellow, I am currently running the two-year research project "Positive environment in public participation and engagement for responsible research and innovation" (PEPPER).
