Embrace Data-Centric Design!
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 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 vision on research and education and the open-source tools and material I contribute. Youβll find below some excerpt of recent activities. As student, you might also be interested in the open π©vacancies or the completed π graduation projects.
