============================================

Research Interests

My current research focuses on ways to enable non-experts to explore and make sense of data relating to societal challenges, such as the accelerating deterioration of the environment and increasing inequalities between people on local, national, intra- and intercontinental levels. As this is a pluridisciplinary research effort, I enjoy collaborating with colleagues from other fields, including cognitive and social psychology, sociology, information sciences, education sciences, economics, and ecology. I also work with the Institut des Transitions at Université de Bordeaux who run living labs on different aspect of campus live and facilitate the deployment and experimentation of prototypes on campus.

Over the years, I have done research on a variety of topics in the area of information visualization and human-computer interaction including data physicalization, tangible interaction, rapid prototyping & digital fabrication, maker culture and maker spaces, and situated and embedded data representations.

Research Transparency Statement

I am a firm believer in research transparency, that is, in being honest and clear throughout all communications about the research process and outcomes, to the extent possible (see our preprint). I started preregistering my studies and sharing supplementary material for all my research projects since 2018 publicly on OSF (the Open Science Framework). My OSF profile features 15 public projects (in 2025) and can be found at osf.io/tj59s, and I try to add material for older projects as time allows. Finally, I also share creative commons versions of relevant figures from my articles on a github repository to facilitate their reuse for others. See this github repository.
