IDE graduate student Anne Arzberger was chosen to be a part of the ASME’s Design Engineering Division’s (DED) Broadening Participation (B-Part) Fellowship and Mentorship Program. As part of the fellowship, Anne received a travel scholarship that covered her costs to go to the ASME IDETC-CIE Conference (St. Louis) and gave her the opportunity to present a research proposal at a poster session for early-career graduate students.

From an early career in experimental psychology to Professor of Informational Ergonomics at TU Delft’s Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering (IDE), Professor Huib de Ridder has learned that there are a lot of ways to look at things. But one point has always remained central: it all begins with the human.

Once a designer is no longer actively involved in the development process, UX insights are often neglected, reducing the UX quality of the product or service. This phenomenon inspired Lilian Henze’s PhD research into how designers can prevent it from happening and actually facilitate the use of UX insights in the entire development process

IDE Professor Pieter Desmet and Assistant Professor Haian Xue, alongside researchers Xin Xin and Wei Liu from Beijing Normal University took home the award for Best Paper in the Creativity, Innovation and Entrepreneurship category at this year’s Applied Human Factors and Ergonomics Conference 2022 in the US. Their paper is entitled: "Emotion deep dive for designers: Seven propositions that operationalize emotions in design innovation".

It’s been a long and well-deserved summer break. Before we headed off, we had a lovely chat with two international student editors of IDE. Yuka & Jack already share their experiences as international students as student editors on the IDE website. For this bonus episode, they talk with Ianus and Producer Marc about work-life balance, what’s it like studying Delft Design and much more. Enjoy! We will be back with our final episode on design & health soon.
