Project description
Third-cycle subject: Human-Computer Interaction
You will work on exploring, designing, developing and evaluating new concepts for digital solutions with the aim of supporting individuals and households to change behaviors in a sustainable direction. You will initially work in two interconnected projects (“Designing digital technologies for supporting energy-related behavior change in the kitchen” and “Smart storage solutions in the fridge of the future to reduce food waste”) aimed at supporting individuals to make sustainable choices regarding food, food waste and energy use in kitchen and food contexts. Later, other areas related to sustainability may also be included, such as behavioral changes in travel, energy use and waste management.
You will work in the interdisciplinary research group MID4S, "Media Technology and Interaction Design for Sustainability" at the Department of Media Technology and Interaction Design, School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. This group has recently started several new research projects and is at the forefront of research and teaching in the area of ICT and sustainability. For more information, see https://www.kth.se/en/mid/research/sustainability. We also work closely with the Department of Sustainable Development, Environmental Science and Technology (SEED), and together the groups will have 3-4 newly recruited doctoral students in similar areas who will work closely together.
