Erik Hekman

Research Fellow

I was born in 1982 (Nijmegen) and currently work at the faculty of Communication and Journalism at the University of Applied Sciences Utrecht (Hogeschool Utrecht). My job mainly consists of doing research for the Research Group Crossmedia Content, Business Models and Policy New Media. My main research topics are social media, cross media, interactive high-definition television and (digital) cultural heritage. I'm also supervising research of international students. Currently, I'm applying for a scholarship in order to start my PhD research in September 2009 (Social media value creation and esteem).

I also works as a lecturer for the study Digital Communication where I mainly teach courses in Web Design, Object-oriented Design, Computer Programming and Research.

My educational background consists of a bachelordegree in Information and Communication Technology (B.ICT) at the University op Applied Sciences Arnhem and Nijmegen (Hogeschool Arnhem en Nijmegen) and a mastersdegree in Media Technology at the Leiden University (MSc)

In my personal life I enjoy simple and passive things like 'being a couch-potato' and more complex and active things like practicing aikido.
