BIO
Dr. Lenneke Kuijer is Assistant Professor in the Industrial Design Department of Eindhoven University of Technology.
Lenneke is a multidisciplinary researcher who contributes both in social science and design research communities. Her main interests lie in the areas of social practice theory, research through design, domestic energy demand and the relation between designing computational artefacts and changes in everyday life.
Short CV
Lenneke obtained her BSc, MSc and PhD degree from the Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering of TU Delft. Her PhD, granted with distinction in 2014, explored the implications of social practice theory for sustainable design.
After her PhD, Lenneke spent two years as a postdoc in the DEMAND Research Centre at the University of Sheffield in the UK. Here, she studied relations between infrastructures and practices through a historic case study on space heating in social housing. In parallel, a part-time postdoc position in Interactive Media Design at TU Delft kept her linked to her ‘home discipline’ of design research. She joined Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) as Assistant Professor in 2016.
In 2019 Lenneke was awarded a prestigious VENI talent scholarship by the Dutch Research Council. The project focused on the role of interactive technologies in shaping everyday life. It used the future of summer comfort in Dutch households as a case study topic to develop new design concepts and methods to shape everyday life in less resource intensive directions.
