Deniz Iren; PhD, PMP
Associate Professor of Affective Computing
Information Science, Open Universiteit, Netherlands
I am a scientist, manager, teacher, entrepreneur, and software developer with 20+ years of experience in industry-academia collaboration settings. I hold a tenured faculty position as associate professor at the Department of Information Science. My research passion is to develop computational systems that perceive and respond to human emotions. These keywords describe my research areas: affective computing, human-computer interaction, and artificial intelligence. I teach machine learning and data science courses, both at the faculty and as a part of postgraduate programs. Outside my work, I am a competitive adventure race athlete and an ultramarathon runner. Well, there is a whole lot to tell about myself. Here are some links that might help.
