• Born  on  September  29,  1962,  in  the  Netherlands  • Raised  in  Lebanon,  Egypt  and  Italy  • Speaks  Dutch,  French,  English  and  Italian  

   

Academic  profile    Current  Position:  

• Assistant  Professor  at  the  Faculty  of  Industrial  Design  Engineering,  Delft  University  of  technology,  Section  Design  Aesthetics.  

 Current  Field  of  Research:  

• Understanding  the  Tactual  Aesthetic  Experience:  how  objects  are  perceived  through  the  sense  of  touch,  and  how  this  tactual  perception  affects  the  (un)pleasantness  of  our  experience  of  this  object.  I  developed  a  conceptual  framework  to  unravel  the  tactual  experience,  and  to  be  able  to  communicate  about  it.  

• Design  for  aesthetic  experience:  exploring  how  designers  can  include  awareness  for  tactual  aesthetics  in  their  design  projects.  Not  by  developing  guidelines,  but  by  researching  how  designers  can  develop  their  tactual  aesthetic  sensitivity.  The  design  research  focuses  on  healthcare  and  well  being.  

 Current  Academic  Education:  

• Involved  in  different  (design)  courses  as  design  coach  and  as  expert  on  touch,  such  as  the  master  courses  ‘Exploring  interactions’,  and  ‘Product  Use,  Understanding  and  Experience’,  and  the  bachelor  courses  ‘Design  and  Experience’  and  ‘Design  for  the  fuzzy  front  end’.  

• Supervisor  of  Master  Graduation  Projects  (in  total  over  100  supervised),  mainly  in  the  master  ‘Design  for  Interaction’.  

• Coordinator  of  the  master  course  ‘Generic  Professional  Skills’,  in  which  students  develop  and  reflect  on  competencies  such  as  teamwork,  communication,  creativity,  and  graduation  and  career  planning.  This  course  is  for  all  master  students  at  IDE.  

• Coordinator  of  the  master  course  ‘Reflections  on  Designing’:  students  are  invited  to  develop  a  vision  on  themselves  as  designers:  what  are  their  ambitions,  their  beliefs,  what  do  they  stand  for?
