Research

I am an impact-centered design researcher with a great passion for inter- and transdisciplinary research. My work involves interaction design, user experience, behavioral change, subjective well-being, and creative methods and approaches.

 

I've always been fascinated by what shapes meaningful and joyful experiences. In my research, I aim to create strategies and frameworks for (re)designing technologies and experiences that drive positive change at both individual and community levels. In doing so, I explore and analyze how design-mediated interactions impact human experience, behavior, and well-being (i.e., understanding the psychological and behavioral effects of human-design interactions). I am particularly interested in developing methods, tools, and narratives that bridge the theory-practice gap and empower innovators in envisioning and designing future everyday scenarios. 

 

I have extensive experience in various product spaces, applied research, and academic settings. I am a team player. Throughout my career, I have collaborated with researchers from diverse cultural and professional backgrounds. Our work has been published in peer-reviewed journals such as Virtual Reality and Computers & Industrial Engineering, and presented at international conferences hosted by ASME, DRS, and the Design Society (please see the Publications section for a complete list).
