Elisa Giaccardi is Professor of Post-industrial Design at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), where she coordinates the European-funded research and training network DCODE. Her work focuses on the challenges and opportunities that a digital transformation of society brings to design as a field of research and practice. After pioneering work in metadesign, her research over the last decade has turned to more-than-human design. In this space, she engages with how digital things today connect and learn, and thus actively participate in design in ways that previous industrially produced objects could not. Her work has contributed significantly to the development of post-industrial and post-humanist approaches in design and HCI.
