Bio
I am currently studying a wide variety of people’s response to new technologies, both today as in the past. These reactions range from broad dreams about the impact of a new technology on society to everyday responses of citizens about new ‘smart’ technologies into their daily life. Investigating and understanding such reactions and aspirations is a necessary task. I do this via Living Lab trials in Brussels and historical research. Living lab research allows taking users’ concerns and needs into consideration throughout the design process from start to end. A historical perspective reminds us that our technological world is and will be in essence human-made.
