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).
Paul joined the Design Research Lab in 2013 where he helped to develop smart home interfaces for people with dementia together with Jelena Zach and Daniela Hery.
He has an interdisciplinary background in multimedia technologies (B.Eng.) and interface design (M.A.) and participated in post-graduate programs at Malmö University and the Strelka Institute for Media, Architecture and Design.
