Research
Laurens’s research focuses on online personalization, creativity and choice behavior in the setting of human-computer interaction. He investigates how ‘smart’ (machine learning-based) information systems can offer online personalized decision support to the user. Laurens is particularly interested in the ways in which technology enables people to make choices in life that are imaginative, prosocial, environmentally sustainable, or beneficial to a person’s physical and mental health. Such forms of choice behavior are studied in laboratory experiments, offline user studies, from online search & browse logs, and via linguistic investigation of online narrative contributions. This research is conducted in close collaboration with econometricians and computer scientists specialized in recommender systems in Italy, Austria, and the Netherlands.

Using Persuasive technology and Big Data analytics to Reduce Consumer Energy Consumption
This research project by Laurens Rook, Markus Zanker, Rebekka Aigner and Wolfgang Ketter shows how a persuasive technology intervention on a smart meter support website enabled households in an Austrian city to reduce their energy consumption for a longer time period. The research project with its persuasive technology intervention was featured in the 2016 Delft Research Exhibition in the Library of the Delft University of Technology. It will be presented again at the upcoming 2017 Delft Research Exhibition.
