The Design Research Lab is a laboratory for experimental design and research reflecting on the digital society. Through playful interventions, critical making and collaborative reasoning we investigate possible futures. As a platform and network, we are deeply involved with the requirements and policies needed for an inclusive and sustainable development of the digital society from a design perspective.
We are an interdisciplinary team of designers, researchers, tech-enthusiasts and critical thinkers from Berlin University of the Arts, German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), Weizenbaum Institute for the Networked Society, as well as Einsteincenter Digital Future (ECDF).
Jana finished her Bachelors Degree in Process Engineering in Hamburg and is doing right now her Masters in Material Science at the TU Berlin. For already two years she is focussing on the interface of product design and engineering. So she attended several product design classes at the HTW Hamburg and the UDK. Bringing smart applications of materials into the design process is her passion, that’s why she joined the Design Research Lab and is happy to work here.
