Fernando Secomandi Email & Phone Number

I hold a bachelor degree in industrial design (Uerj, Brazil), a MSc degree in Strategic Product Design (TUDelft, The Netherlands), and a PhD in Service Design (TUDelft, The Netherlands). Since 2008 my academic research focuses on the intersection of design (service design) and philosophy of technology (postphenomenology). From 2015 to 2021, I held a tenured position at the Higher School of Industrial Design (Uerj, Brazil), where I assumed the roles of vice coordinator of the graduate program and of coordinator of research. I also collaborated part-time with MJV in consulting for global corporations on design-driven digital innovation. I am currently assistant professor at the Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering (TUDelft, The Netherlands), Associate Editor of the Journal of Human-Technology Relations (TU Delft Open Publishing), International Advisory Council Member of DRS, and Co-Lead of Healthy Start Ambition "First 1000 Days" (Convergence). From July 2021 to July 2023, I was Deputy Editor of the journal Design Studies, published by Elsevier.
