Christine Bauer is an assistant professor at the Human-Centred Computing group at the Department of Information and Computing Sciences at Utrecht University.

Her research activities center on interactive intelligent systems where she integrates research on intelligent technologies, the interaction of humans with the intelligent system, as well as their interplay. Thereby, she takes a human-centered computing approach, where technology follows humans’ and society’s needs. Central themes in her research are context and context-adaptivity. Recently, she focuses on context-aware recommender systems and concentrates on music recommender systems in particular. Her knowledge and experience with music and the music business are her particular asset for this research. A core interest in her research activities is multi-method evaluations. Further interests span manifold fields such as online self-disclosure and privacy, methods for designing context-adaptive systems, and the creative industries, in particular the music sector.
