Career and research

After her PhD, she was appointed an assistant professor at Delft University of Technology,[16][17] heading the Spreadsheet Lab.[18]

As of 2024 Hermans is head of the Programming Education Research Lab (PERL).[19]

Hermans is the founder and former CEO of Infotron, a research spin-off company of TU Delft that implements risk assessment software for spreadsheets.[citation needed]

Hermans is active with DigiLeerkracht, the computational thinking teaching by Future.nl,[20] and teaches programming,[21] including one day a week at the Lyceum Kralingen in Rotterdam.[22] In addition, Hermans is a referee at the FIRST Lego League Challenge, where children build a robot from Lego.[23] [24] She served as a board member at Devnology Nederland,[25] an organisation for software developers. She is a co-organiser of the yearly conference Joy of Coding.[26]

Outreach

In 2011, Hermans gave a TEDx talk in Delft.[27] Hermans has given research talks at conferences including StrangeLoop,[28] NDC,[29][30][31] GOTO,[32][33][34] and DDD Europe,[35] a conference about domain-driven design. Since 2016, she is a host of SE Radio.[36][37]

Hermans produced several Massive open online courses (MOOCs) on edX, with topics including programming in Scratch for teachers and children.[38] She self-published an e-book about the creation of games for children.[39] In 2017, she started a program for Rotterdam elementary students to receive programming lessons.[40] In 2020, Hermans launched the Hedy programming language, to teach children to use the Python programming language.[41][42]
