Expertise:

  • GenAI in finance, accounting, and accounting education

My expertise

Mijn expertise ligt in het geven van hands-on workshops, interactieve sessies en inspirerende keynotes over Generatieve AI (GenAI), specifiek gericht op toepassingen binnen accounting education en de financiële sector alsook bij gericht op onderwijsprofessionals en academische collega's. Als onderzoeker heb ik ook ervaring met het implementeren van GenAI-methoden in wetenschappelijk onderzoek.

Mijn onderzoekswerk bevindt zich op het kruispunt van GenAI en accounting education, waarbij ik zowel de invloed van GenAI op leerprocessen in het hoger onderwijs als op de financiële praktijk bestudeer. Binnen de financiële sector ligt mijn focus op het versterken van de vaardigheden van medewerkers, zodat zij effectief met GenAI-toepassingen kunnen werken. Dit omvat het ontwikkelen en organiseren van praktijkgerichte trainingen die professionals voorbereiden op het werken met GenAI.
