Personal profile

Artistic and research interests

My current research interests include: speculative design, critical design, ontological design, contemporary biomedical technologies and feminist science and technology studies. My PhD research focuses on re-framing speculative design as an inclusive approach to introduce plural voices in technoscientific imaginaries of the Arctic.

Next to conducting my PhD at Aalto, I am a senior advisor for CollActive Materials, a collaborative project of two Berlin Exellence Clusters: Matters of Activity. Image Space Material (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin) and Science of Intelligence (Technical University Berlin). My former affiliations include: Visiting Scholar at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Artist in Residence in 2-year EU project Art4med with the Finnish Bioart Society, and Artist in Residence at the genome-editing laboratories of Max-Delbrück-Centre for Molecular Medicine in Berlin.
