Chris Snijders

Chris Snijders is a Full Professor at Eindhoven University of Technology, holding the Chair of Sociology of Technology and Innovation. He leads the Human-Technology Interaction group and serves as Research Director of the School of Innovation Sciences, with affiliations to the Eindhoven AI Systems Institute (EAISI) and the Jheronimus Academy of Data Science (JADS). His research bridges sociology, artificial intelligence, and behavioral decision-making, focusing on trust in AI, model-based prediction, digital learning dynamics, and social network influences.

• Education: MSc in Mathematics (Game Theory) from Utrecht University (1991), PhD in Sociology (1996).
• Research Themes: Trust in AI systems, self-regulated learning analytics, AI ethics in healthcare, human-AI collaboration in logistics, and behavioral economics under uncertainty.

Snijders’ recent publications analyze AI adoption in healthcare and logistics, emphasizing trust dynamics over time, the role of explainability, and ecological validity in human-AI studies. Collaborative projects involve NWO-funded initiatives like SeReNity and INTERSECT. His work integrates formal modeling (e.g., game theory, Markov models) with empirical behavioral data to address real-world challenges in technology and education.

Grants from the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO), European Supply Chain Forum, and SIA RAAK program underpin his research. He contributes to educational programs such as Supercrunchers and Advanced Research Methods. Snijders’ methodological expertise spans clickstream analysis, longitudinal modeling, and experimental design in digital environments.
