Dr. Lars Rieser is a researcher and educator in the Department of Accounting and Information Management at the School of Business and Economics, Maastricht University. His research focuses on the information systems lifecycle and on how organizations and individuals make decisions about the adoption, use, and discontinuance of information systems. More recently, his work explores how the affordances of digital platforms shape the behavior of platform participants and how platform actors can leverage these affordances to achieve economic and non-economic goals. In exploring these research areas, Lars uses a wide variety of econometric and machine learning techniques. Building on a longstanding interest in the technical aspects of computing, he has recently developed substantial expertise in developing and fine-tuning local (small) language models for research purposes, using techniques such as knowledge distillation and quantization. Lars is also an award-winning educator who has delivered courses in Management Information Systems, Systems Analysis and Design, Data Management, ERP and BI Systems, Data Visualization, Business Intelligence, and Data Governance. He is heavily involved in the School's postgraduate programs, teaching the modules Enabling Data Science, Data Visualization, and Digital Platforms and Ecosystems for the Maastricht MBA program and the International Master of Finance and Control. He has also been invited to provide company trainings in the areas of digitalization and data-driven decision making.
