Jorrit Geels - PHD - Radboud University

I am interested in the user experience of digital signatures. Where can digital signatures play a role? How can users make use of these signatures to add authenticity to, e.g., their documents or online posts? What do these signatures look like, do users know how to recognize or apply them, and what do users experience when they encounter a digital signature in a certain context? Can signatures increase, e.g., trust or security? During my PhD candidacy, I intend to find an answer to these kinds of questions through empirical research.
I also work at Radboud University’s new interdisciplinary research hub on security, privacy, and data governance, which is called iHub.

About

Drinking on the Job is a yearly event organized by CognAC, the study association for Artificial Intelligence in Nijmegen. During this event, CognAC members get inspired about their future in AI and IT.

Behind all this is a small group of motivated people; the External Committee. The committee consists of:

  • Emiel Villerius (Chair)
  • Bart van Hees (Secretary)
  • Jasper van Roessel (Treasurer)
  • Chrisa Jovita
  • Fenna Rasing
  • Joanne Lijo
  • Maksymilian Tomaszewski
  • Micha Lobbezoo

Their aim is to narrow the gap between study and corporate, student and young professional. To achieve this goal they organise the Career Week and Drinking on the Job together with the Chief of External Affairs.
For months the committee has been enthousiastically working to give you the best networking event yet!
