Max Peeperkorn

Max Peeperkorn is a PhD candidate in Computational Creativity. The doctoral project is exploring the social aspects of creativity, in particular, how social information, such as critiques and reviews, can be applied to evaluating creative output, and how that is useful in computational (co-)creativity systems.

Previously, Max worked in the creative industries, specialising in unique (web-based) projects and art installations. He received his M.Sc. (cum laude) from the Media Technology programme in Leiden University, Netherlands and has a BA in Graphic Design from the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague (Netherlands).

Besides computational creativity, his interests include computational aesthetics, generative systems, large language models, and machine learning. Max takes an interdisciplinary approach to research, exploring other areas, not limited to information theory, language evolution, psychology, and philosophy.
