Dr. S. Borsci (Simone)
Associate Professor of Human Factors and Cognitive Ergonomics
Dr Simone Borsci is Associate Professor of Human Factors and Cognitive Ergonomics at the CODE Section of the Department of Learning, Data Analytics and Technology at the University of Twente. Simone is the research coordinator for the HF-CODE team, the local representative for the Dutch Social Sciences and Humanities Sector Plan Theme Human Factor in New Technology, and Honorary Senior Research Fellow in HF and Medical Device at Imperial College London. Simone specialises in user experience research methods and his interdisciplinary approach bridges the gap between technological development and human-centred design. His research focuses on the intersection of technology, process, service design, user experience and human performance, with the aim of improving the usability and accessibility of (complex) interactive systems. Dr. Borsci is particularly known for his work on standardising UX evaluation methods, contributing significantly to guidelines that help designers and developers create more intuitive and usable products, and for his work on conversational agents.
dr. L. Alvino (Letizia)
Assistant Professor
Krista Hoek
PhD Candidate | Anaesthesiologist | Invensivist Department of Anaesthesiology & Department of Intensive Care Leids Universitair Medisch Centrum
Krista Hoek earned her medical degree at the Université Sorbonne in Paris, France in 2016. She pursued her medical specialization as an anesthesiologist-intensivist in Leiden, the Netherlands, specializing in education and communication within anesthesiology and intensive care. Hoek’s research focuses on the use of Virtual Reality as an educational tool to enhance communication skills. Her main research interests include the learning and implementation of therapeutic communication and team communication in crisis resource management.
Her academic interests are interdisciplinary, and she has presented at various international conferences such as the International Conference on Computer Supported Education, the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine, and the International Conference on Communication in Healthcare, among others. Additionally, she has been involved in various projects funded at both the national and regional levels.
In 2021, she received a grant from Tech for Future (TFF) to collaborate with Saxion University on the development of a VR training platform for anaesthesiologist-intensivists. Furthermore, she is a member of Euro XR, the European Network for Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and Mixed Reality, and serves on the Scientific Committee.

Wolter Pieters is professor of Work, Organizations and Digital Technology at the faculty of Social Sciences at Radboud University. Previously he was associate professor of Cyber Risk at Delft University of Technology, faculty of Technology, Policy and Management. He has an interdisciplinary background in computer science and philosophy of technology, and published widely on cyber risk management, information ethics, and human factors in cybersecurity. In recent years he has specialized in practices around digitalization, with a focus on responsible behaviour, including safety, (cyber)security and privacy in work environments as well as responsible use of artificial intelligence. At Radboud University, he is the contact person between the faculty and the university-wide iHub initiative on digitalization and society. On a national level, he is coordinator of the theme "The human factor in new technologies" in the sector plans of the social sciences.
Special Session:
Jan Treur prof.
Professor Emeritus, Faculty of Science, Artificial Intelligence, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
Jan Treur has been a full professor of AI since 1990 and is a well-recognized expert on the area of human-centered AI and multidisciplinary human-like AI modeling. He has published over 800 well-cited papers about cognitive, affective, and social modeling and AI systems making use of such models. He has also supervised more than 40 Ph.D. students in these areas and from 2016 on written and edited five books on (adaptive) network-oriented AI modeling and its application in various other disciplines. Current research addresses modeling of higher-order adaptive processes by self-modeling network models with a specific focus on human processes related to cybersecurity and the role of epigenetics in mental disorders.
Peter Roelofsma dr.
Head of Risk Management & Cyber Security group of The Hague University of Applied Sciences
Peter Roelofsma is head of the Risk Management & Cyber Security group of The Hague University of Applied Sciences since 2023, coming from the Safety and Security Science section of Delft University of Technology, where he worked at the Center for Safety in Healthcare. His experience in safety and security involves the domains of SME’s, health care, smart cities, military command & control, aeronautical control and risk and management in traffic tunnels. His recent work involves issues regarding: organizational learning, shared mental models, safe and secure by design and the use of AI-coaching and sensors for safety and security. The focus of his research is on the naturalistic decision processes in security operations echelons like operation centers, crises teams, organizations, and governance.
