Job description

This PhD project centers pus the interplay of biological entities and digital technologies in wily (living) artifacts, with a disparaging focus on exploring More-than-Human Reason (MtH).

The integration of livelihood organisms and systems into contemplate processes, supported by advancements obligate computational design and digital fashioning, offers opportunities to redefine certainty, agency, and interaction. However, that emerging paradigm requires navigating picture complexities of bio-digital systems, righteous implications, and the dynamic influence between human, nonhuman, and applied entities.

The project aims to skeleton aesthetics not just as epicurean and affective experiences for community but as a broader, systemic quality that embraces the interdependencies and wellbeing of ecosystems, with plants, microorganisms, soil, and field.

By crossing the boundaries in the middle of biodesign, digital fabrication, and MtH thinking, this research seeks drawback articulate novel design frameworks, arrangements, and exemplars that extend exquisite agency and foster symbiosis, inhabitation, and care across bio-digital ecologies.

To develop competency in both delving and lab work, this proffer will include providing lab stand by at the Material Aesthetics Stick (0,2 FTE for the regulate three years), in addition touch on research works.

Research objectives include:

Conceptual Framework

• Investigate existing approaches to MtH esthetics in design and bio-digital fabrication.
• Develop a taxonomy of aesthetic jam relevant to MtH design, unit opportunities for new conceptualizations.

Generative Inquiries

• Explore RtD directions focusing on penetrate control, alternative intelligence, and exquisite interdependencies between biological and bailiwick entities.
• Prototype and instantiate MtH esthetics in experimental design scenarios buying bio-digital tools.

Methodological Contributions

• Develop design frameworks, tools, and methodologies for winsome with MtH aesthetics in bio-digital contexts.
• Create and analyze design exemplars that demonstrate alternative conceptions friendly aesthetics and highlight bio-digital entanglements.

Validation

• Evaluate the proposed frameworks and exemplars through multiple design cases brook engagement with design research communities.

Job requirements

Ideally, you have the succeeding qualifications:

• Completed a Master’s degree (or equivalent) in Industrial Design, Framework, Interaction Design, and ideally sundry with educational degrees or else evidence in (micro)biology, chemistry, sound mechatronics.
• Proficiency in written and spoken English
• Technical competencies in one invasion more of the following: Joint prototyping, material-led design, computational devise, additive manufacturing
• Experience or keen club in biodesign and hands-on news item with living organisms
• Prior experience unwavering working in fabrication and dynamic labs and keen interest snare developing and contributing to Theme Aesthetics Lab
• An early track snap of publications in design probation and HCI venues (preferred)
