Bieke Zaman | Tenure track professor in Human-Computer Interaction / Digital Humanities . Researcher – Centre for User Experience Research (CUO) – KU Leuven & iMinds.
Bieke researches and teaches the interaction between people and technologies, questioning why technology has been shaped in a particular way and to serve which interests. She advocates initiating a dialogue with the designers of new technologies, and involving stakeholders in the design process. In doing so, she aims to achieve more value-sensitive design. Her particular interests are to reconcile values of play and learning in designing educational games for children and account for privacy dilemmas in the design of social media applications.
