KOPS

We will keep you updated on the progress!!!

Now ... onto our 18987 row excel data sheet 

Our facial recognition experiment is in full swing and our first group of respondents is currently answering our questionnaire! Beginning the final stages of our journey! 

We hope everybody is safe and healthy and can enjoy watching our pitch this way, while learning more about the progress we have made so far and what we are still aiming to do!

We’re halfway there, and, despite the progress, the most challenging part of our project has yet to come. Of course we are aiming at the most accurate outcome possible by limiting the room for error as much as possible. That is particularly difficult since none of us are particularly experienced in the field of psychology. But who doesn't like a nice challenge???

The iLab created a smartphone app designed as a memory game for Dutch Police Officers, aimed at enhancing their ability to recognize wanted persons in real life! It is our task to research the learning effect of the app. Do you think it’ll work? Feel free to let us know in the comments below.

In aiming to evaluate the learning effect of the facial recognition app "KOPS", we proposed a total of four possible experiments to the iLab. Our first and preferred proposition was approved. The basic idea is that the officers will use the KOPS app for various amounts of time before the experiment. The app will be filled with different pictures of approximately 20 random people’s faces. The officers will then be asked to walk a short route through a busy area. During this walk, some of the people that were shown on the app will walk past the officers. Afterwards, we will evaluate whether the officers recognized these people.

Hey everyone! My name is Nico and I am currently doing my Master in European Studies. Having dealt with Security Policy of the European Union in my Bachelor and currently my Master program, this project seemed particularly interesting for me. I am convinced, that as a team we will be able to successfully evaluate the learning effect of the app “KOPS”. 

Hi Everyone! My name is Carmen Chiaradia, I am 25 years old and am currently doing my masters in International Business: Strategy and Innovation. I joined PREMIUM because I love a challenge and this was perfect as it also pushed me outside of my field of expertise giving me ample opportunities to learn more! I love to dance, ballroom and latin specifically and look forward to working with the team to make this project a succes!

Hi my name is Clara and I am a french Master student in European Law, currently on exchange at Maastricht University. Law is the glue that holds society together, and I found out that it becomes much more interesting when studied in an international context. Pursuing this path, I have also become very much interested in combining law with other disciplines such as psychology and science. This is how I believe lawyers can help design our future society and that is why I am really glad to be part of the KOPS team : to see how technology can improve law enforcement !

Hi everyone, my name is Evelien Korsten. I am 21 years old and from the Netherlands. My hobby is judo and I have a passion for the immune system. Therefore, I am currently doing my master Biomedical Sciences, specialization Inflammation and Pathophysiology. I choose to be part of premium because I wanted to do something next to my study and step out of my comfort zone. I am enthusiastic to be part of the ilab premium team and excited what this project will bring!

Hi, my name is Michelle. I'm 24 years old and am a second year student of the Biomedical Sciences master. I chose this project to apply my knowledge about scientific experiments to a totally different area. In my spare time, I'm a fanatic football player, but I also like to travel. I hope to get a job that will change people's lifes after I graduate this summer!
