Primary research areas

Hy­brid Work and Work­place Design
Ex­plor­ing how the autonomy of work­ing from mul­tiple loc­a­tion shapes in­di­vidu­al work ex­per­i­ences and well-be­ing, and how or­gan­iz­a­tions can cre­ate hy­brid work­places eco­lo­gies that bal­ance flex­ib­il­ity, col­lab­or­a­tion, and in­clu­sion across phys­ic­al and di­git­al en­vir­on­ments.
Em­ploy­ee Ex­per­i­ence in Work­place Eco­lo­gies
In­vest­ig­at­ing work­place eco­lo­gies by ex­amin­ing how sens­ory, emo­tion­al, and cog­nit­ive ex­per­i­ences of phys­ic­al and di­git­al arte­facts shape well-be­ing, sat­is­fac­tion, and in­clu­sion, with the aim of design­ing work­places that foster be­long­ing
New­ma­ter­i­al­ity and More-than-Hu­man Eco­lo­gies
Study­ing the en­tan­gle­ment of people, tech­no­lo­gies, and spaces in hy­brid work, us­ing new­ma­ter­i­al­ity and more-than-hu­man per­spect­ives to re­think work prac­tices.

Design­ing More-than-Hu­man Eco­lo­gies of Hy­brid Work

My research explores how organizations can design hybrid work practices and workplaces that enhance well-being, satisfaction, and belonging. By examining interactions between people, digital tools, and physical environments, I seek to develop hybrid work ecologies that help organizations create meaningful hybrid work experiences. 

I address societal challenges such as work-related stress, loneliness, and the fragmentation of work-life boundaries. The design science approach combines insights from Information Systems, Human–Computer Interaction, and design research to generate actionable knowledge for organizations. 


Through my work, I aim to:

- Support organizations in cultivating sustainable hybrid work practices. 
- Inform workplace design that fosters collaboration and inclusion. 
- Advance well-being as a central principle in the future of work. 
- My vision is to contribute to hybrid work ecologies where technology, space, and people come together to create thriving, resilient, and humane work futures.
