L. Gorissen (Lenn)

Passionate and result-oriented second-year PhD candidate with ± 4 years of dedicated research experience in Science, Technology, and Society studies (STS) in the agricultural domain. Committed to supporting the agroecological transition of agri-food systems. Graduated cum laude from Maastricht University in the STS research master programme ‘Cultures of Arts, Science and Technology’.

Faculty of Behavioural, Management and Social Sciences (BMS), Knowledge, Transformation & Society (KiTeS)

I am a PhD candidate as part of the Synergia research project. Synergia (2021-2027) is an NWO research project aimed at exploring how current and future farming technologies can enable and support ecology-based farming systems (https://www.nextfoodcollective.nl/sustainable-agriculture/synergia).

My research adopts a practice-based approach to studying agricultural sensors by examining farmers’ sensing practices and the visions and imaginaries of key actors involved in sensor development. This will serve as a basis for deducing requirements and options for responsibly governing sensors for ecology-based farming.
