About

As an enthusiastic bridge-builder, applied researcher, academic and critical thinker, I work across a number of contexts and domains of expertise. I have a particular focus on responsible innovation / ethics in technology, design, internet technologies, sustainability, and the energy transition. My passion is in doing critical research into the relations between emerging technologies and society to not only understand what are the challenges at hand, but to synthesize what those challenges mean, and what are the opportunities for change and innovation.

I thrive when I work across expertise’s, where I find the relationships and connections between different ideas and ways of working. I enjoy interacting and collaborating with stakeholders at all organizational levels in the public, private, academic and non-profit sector. While my work is quite diverse, it centers around navigating ambiguous and complex problem spaces, and developing a program to research, collaborate, and innovate within that problem space. My strengths are in building coalitions, analytical thinking, cross-expertise collaborations, and translating and communicating complex ideas across diverse audiences. Additionally, having worked and studied in diverse countries I have demonstrated solid intercultural communication skills and understanding.

In my current role as a postdoctoral researcher in industrial design at Eindhoven University of Technology (NL), where my focus is on the energy transition.
