Hi! I'm Tom.
I am a design researcher who combines community-based research through design with everyday speculation to produce design artefacts including critical devices, fabulatory futures, and civic imaginaries. Engaging critically with rhetoric in contemporary technoculture, these design things reflect alternative arrangements of people and things to support resilience, health, and the green transition.
I am an associate professor at the IT University of Copenhagen, where I lead the IxD Lab, and am affiliated with the Center for Climate IT and the Center for Digital Welfare. I teach interaction design and design futures courses in the Master’s and Bachelor’s programmes in Digital Design and Interactive Technologies.
My PhD is from the Digital Media program at Georgia Tech, where I studied design research in civic and social contexts as a member of the Public Design Workshop. I hold a Master's degree from New York University's Interactive Telecommunications Program, and while an undergraduate was a member of the Culturally Embedded Computing research group at Cornell University.
