I am Assistant Professor of Data-Centric Design with the Department of Sustainable Design Engineering (SDE) of the Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering (IDE) of the Delft University of Technology π§.
My research lies at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction, Data Science and Participatory Design. I hypothesise that the central use of behavioural data in Human-Centred Design can turn challenges and limitations of both fields into flourishing ethical and collaborative opportunities.
For more information, have a look at my activites, open-source tools and material I contribute and CV. As student, you might also be interested in the open π©vacancies or the completed π graduation projects.
