I work at the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS), where I am a Professor and Head of the Transdisciplinary School. Before moving to Sydney, I was fortunate to study and work in Vienna, Reykjavik, Stockholm, and Paris. I’ve also held a visiting professorship at the Beijing Central Academy of Fine Arts for a number of years, which involved delivering workshops and talks in China. I have taught courses on interaction design, user experience design, design thinking, creativity, and innovation. My research investigates the interaction between people and future technologies, with a particular focus on citizens and communities, autonomous mobility, and new approaches for considering non-human stakeholders in the design process. I am a founding member of the Urban Interfaces group at the University of Sydney, the global Media Architecture Institute, the Austrian Network for Information and Communication Technologies for Development, and the Life-centred Design Collective. Before joining UTS, I was an academic in the Design Lab at the School of Architecture, Design and Planning at the University of Sydney, where I held various leadership roles, including Program Director for the Bachelor of Design Computing, Head of the Design Department, and Director of Innovation (Education, Enterprise and Engagement).
