I am an assistant professor at the Design Conceptualisation and Communication Section. I specialise in design and research methods involving iterative design prototyping with interactive technology. In my current work I focus on applying these methods to solving problems in the area of sustainable well-being in office environments, as well as around the topic of citizen engagement and empowerment through ubiquitous technology. I have a particular interest in the phenomenon of complex adaptive systems, and as a result, also in methods and tools for designing with the internet of things (and people) or large-scale distributed networks of interactive devices.<\/p>\n
I have a background in urban planning (TU Gdansk) and architectural design (TU Delft). Before pursuing an academic career, I have practiced for several years as an architect and architectural project manager, among others in the experimental architecture firm ONL[Oosterhuis_L\u00e9n\u00e1rd]<\/a>. In my PhD research at the TU Delft\u2019s Faculty of Architecture, I investigated tools and methods for iterative designing of interactive and adaptable architectural environments. In my academic pursuits I have always aimed to maintain the link to real world applications, which resulted in co-founding a start-up company developing software for design, simulation and deployment of distributed networks of interactive devices.<\/p>\n In my current work I\u2019m leading the development of the Building Occupancy Certification System (BOCS) as part of the Climate-KIC Building Technologies Accelerator (BTA)<\/a> flagship programme. My main teaching involvement is in Interactive Technology Design<\/a>, Interactive Environments Minor<\/a> and Interaction & Electronics<\/a> courses. I\u2019m also always on the lookout for ambitious graduation students who are prepared to embark on carrying out multiple interactive design prototyping iterations throughout their Industrial Deign Engineering graduation track.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
